I suppose I'm a little surprised that you've only just discovered =
Firefox,
John <g> - it's been available in stable form for some time. The Beeb =
are a
bit behind too. I've been using it for at least a couple of years - =
much
lighter on its feet than IE, more configurable. Unfortunately you'll =
need
to keep IE to be able to access some sites which are written in
non-standards-compliant code (usually a result of using a MS product) =
which
requires an equally non-standards-compliant browser. And, of course, =
you'll
still need IE to be able to get all those MS security fixes.
I use Firefox for 99% of any browsing I still do in Windows, and 100% =
under
Linux.
