I use IE - should I use FireFox?

You're right.
Click on ENTER odeon.co.uk and a picture comes up and you can't do anything.
Magically click the IE Tab button and voila.

Thanks for that.

You're a web developer though? So that's understandable.

Correct

So are you Firefox guys going to ever give IE7 on Vista a look, or write it off and install Firefox as soon as you can?

Not going to bother tbh. FF has too much flexibility on its hands to even warrant switching to another browser. FF can be customised thanks to extensions, with IE you can't do such a thing since you're stuck to a fixed model.

The FF extensions are priceless to me. Especially the web developer toolbar. And the IE view - I can do everything in Firefox, so an IE which doesn't allow spyware, or an IE with tabs, or whatever, will not make me switch

I'll keep IE7 around somewhere though, doubtless there'll be loads of new behaviour to meddle with
