Hi Orhan,
I use both and I don't think it is significantly faster. It also doesn't
expose all links to the MSAA buffer. There are some web sites it doesn't
work well with.
I would say for those wanting to do it, do it, but don't abandon IE just
yet. You can't anyway, since Firefox doesn't let you run MS Update, which
is pretty significant.
It is worth running FF though, just for the WebVisum plugin, it is
fantastic.
All the best
Steve
I am not saying FF is bad, but you still can't manage completely without IE
yet.
All the best
Steve

Oh god! where do I start!
Why not have a look at firefofx? First of all, it's away from microsoft.
Secondly it's fastre, a lot.
Thirddly, its open source so anyone can develop for it. There is a massive
extention comunity.
Fourthly, microsoft are copycats. firefox had tabbed browsing from day 1!
