Hmm, I could never go back to IE now, not being so used to some of the great features of Firefox. Tabbed browsing, for instance... So useful!
Also, IE gets patches mostly to fix security issues, whereas Firefox, being open source and continually under improvement, gets non-essential patches pretty often, but you don't have to install them all the time, they are often not critical to security.
The one thing I've never had much fun with for Firefox was major updates, e.g. from V0.8 to V1.0, so I always just uninstall then put the new one on.
I looked at the "Gartner" website, couldn't see what you were referring to (I don't know the site), their documents are mostly pay for too? _________________ *All* tiles now up in the bathroom! A bit of grouting to go and it'll be a finished room
I'm a Firefox fan myself, never had any problems at all, Internet Explorer was a nightmare for me, but everyone's setup is different I suppose, what works well for one might not for another, just glad to have a choice.
All a forign language to me. Can we talk about things that go "BANG" instead, please? _________________ A woman needs to feel loved to have sex,

Nope loads of security patches dressed as 'improvements'

Just checked and yes it's a pay one. Basically Firefox then Apple then IE then Opera for patching so no change over the last three years.
Firefox is getting slated by most security pros at the moment as is Open Office and the like as they refuse to acknowledge the security holes and then dress them up as 'improvements'. When MS did the same they were slated. Seems Open Source don't want to play in the real world, losing a lot of ground in the commercial space (we're now swapping MS back into sites).
