andsome Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I say again, I have no reason at all to change, I have ALWAYS been perfectly happy with IE. I have never had any trouble with it, and can see no reason to change because some people don't like Bill Gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 As I have already said, I get NO problems with IE, and neither do the vast majority of people. The percentage of people using Firefox is still very low compared with IE, and we have had a number of problems with it mentioned on the forum. It would be interesting if figures were actually available, to see the percentage of people who have had problems with IE compared with the percentage of people who have had problems with Firefox. I would be very surprise if there was much difference. Computers are NOT perfect technology, and ANY computer can have a problem with ANY program. It's a lottery. It is, in my opinion, wrong to outright condemn and rubbish a program just because you personally have had a problem with it. I tried Firefox, and together with many others did not like it and have stayed with IE. I would not however dream of rubbishing Firefox. I am NOT alone in liking IE and OE and also Norton. I once tried McAffee, and Command AV and had severe problems with both, but this did not mean that others were not happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The percentage of people using Firefox is still very low compared with IE, and we have had a number of problems with it mentioned on the forum.1) Of course it is. Your general consumer is presented with an IE icon and doesn't know anything more. 2) that's changing. With more magazines & tech sites now supporting Firefox for all the obvious reasons, more and more people are switching.It would be interesting if figures were actually available, to see the percentage of people who have had problems with IE compared with the percentage of people who have had problems with Firefox. I would be very surprise if there was much difference. Computers are NOT perfect technology, and ANY computer can have a problem with ANY program.'Problem' is quite general. Firefox problems are related to be being unfamiliar with the program, so changing settings and so on. How many "help Firefox has been hijacked and my homepage is a porn site and I get tons of pop-ups" threads do you see? Those are serious problems, which IE is at risk to while Firefox isn't.Fair enough, Secunia is finding the occasional exploit with Firefox and other browsers, but the Firefox team responds within a day or two to say they're working on it, while Microsoft takes considerably longer.It's a lottery. It is, in my opinion, wrong to outright condemn and rubbish a program just because you personally have had a problem with it. I tried Firefox, and together with many others did not like it and have stayed with IE. I would not however dream of rubbishing Firefox. I am NOT alone in liking IE and OE and also Norton. I once tried McAffee, and Command AV and had severe problems with both, but this did not mean that others were not happy with them.Where has this happened in the thread? You derailed it by posting "I stick with IE" again, even though it's a simple problem that Rebel had and wanted to sort out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 As far as I am concerned, my initial post saying 'stick to IE', was a perfectly valid contribution. Just about every time that someone posts a thread mentioning a problem with IE, the IE detractors step in with all sorts of reasons for switching to Firefox and ditching IE. So I recommended sticking with IE, in response to a problem with Firefox. I see no problem. Topics more often than not get diverted for one reason or another. This is nothing new.

"step in with all sorts of reasons. But anyway, you're happy with IE, fair enough. Care to respond to my other points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
