Didn't some research time actually find out that the English English is less English than the American English - meaning American English has changed LESS since the 1800 than proper English English?

Opera intil I discovered FF a couple of years ago, although I occasionally use Opera now when FF can't cope (such as the T-Mobile website).

As for IE? It's a bit like black death - I avoid it like the plague... Grin

IE7 tabs are much more fluent then Firefox's and FF's download are really weird. They save all my files into Windows Temp. Folder and I can't change it. So IE7 is my all time favorite browser.

I can't comment on IE7 as I've never used it. I prefer separate windows to tabs anyway. With Firefox it's possible to download files to whichever location you want. As with all software you have to set the options to suit your own preferences.
