Windows 7 Internet Browser.

my firefox is broken in the RC tried everything reinstalling uninstalling etc and nothing works so i'm back with IE8

if it's spyware/malware it's only affecting firefox.
 
IE8 IMO, at least when it crashes it just crashes a tab, with FF if one tab crashes it takes the entire window down, as well as any other firefox windows with it...
 
Firefox with Tree Style Tab - Been using ot for years, very easy to use and rarely crashes :D If it does crash, its usually because i have too many tabs open - I tend to have 30+ pages open at the same time.

Chrome - very quick to load, but doesn't seem to have a bookmarks/favourites options... it has a 'bookmark bar' but i cant find a bookmark menu :confused:
Now trying Iron - almost identical to Chrome

Never liked IE, always seems to crash on me. Have had to use it recently to watch youtube videos though, as lately they seem to get stuck on Firefox and Chrome :(

But when you start Firefox again you get the option to resume the last session and it loads up all the pages again.

LOL, i just noticed it at the top right :)

Not very user friendly though is it, an 'add bookmark' option would be nice and yes i know you can click the star, but i only know about that from using firefox, when you drag stuff to the bookmarks bar. Could be clearer for new users!
 
IE8 here, mainly becuase of the jump lists and window preview from the Taskbar icon. I usually swear by Firefox on XP, and Safari on the Mac so me liking a version of IE is a strange feeling.

Why on earth would you need a bookmark menu if there's a bookmark bar?

I use the star for all my bookmarks, although I do agree, being able to drag them to bookmark would be handy.

Firefox. Stable, reasonably fast, great history search implementation and extensions that I couldn't do without.

I really like the speed and simplicity of Chrome, but it needs to be more extensible and have a better history implementation before I'd use it. Can't stand IE - it's slow, almost inextensible, has a horrid UI and rubbish standards support. Safari is OK but unremarkable - like a faster and more standards-compliant version of IE.

Firefox 4.0 is going to be really good, if the mock-ups are anything to go by.

Firefox is only used whn a particular website is buggy and crashes with IE.

Complete opposite for me :D Firefox all the way (mainly due to IE layout, not liking at all) when firefox seldom comes across those annoying websites that refuse to use anything else other than IE I turn to the dark side for a moment then scrub my harddrive clean of the filth. :p
 
Ah I was using FireFox, but uninstalled and went back to Safari, I just really like the look and feel of it.

FireFox is good, I used to run it but I've almost grown away from it.
