I've been up to my ears in workplace training lately, which is why I haven't had much to say. We've got this online training program going at work, which means that every spare computer in the place is being used by our normally computerless Production staff - including the computers of those who are home sick.
At least one staff member is going to come back to find Firefox mysteriously installed on his computer - I've had a remarkable opportunity to compare Firefox and Explorer since this whole training excercise began, and I am having my opinion of the superiority of Firefox confirmed at every turn.
If you find yourself missing a plugin, for example, in Explorer - you have to chase through what seems like a hundred links, each leading to web pages crammed with tiny text. If you find yourself missing that plugin in Firefox, on the other hand, the software throws up a link to the version of the plugin that it recommends, without all the unnecessary commentary.
That's the main one. The rest of it revolves around a myriad of glitches and whatnot, all of which seem to make Explorer close down in the middle of what you're doing. Firefox has far fewer glitches, and when it does have to close down, it remembers what websites you were visiting, and asks you if you want to go straight back to them.
Firefox is so much simpler to use, and so much friendlier. I like it so much better!
By the way, if you want it yourself, make sure you have administrative priviledges on your computer - if you don't, you'll probably get blocked.
