Reasons to Switch to Firefox
Well, if you have a reason(as seen on my IE page) to switch to Firefox, feel free to add it here. O r  e  o  s Talk Contribs 16:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

My opinion...
I see why you like Firefox, but I like IE for several reasons.


 * Size. I went into my program files and checked out the sizes of the two programs. IE is smaller. 5.89 MB for IE and 16.2 MB for Firefox.


 * You can listen to MIDIs in IE without a plugin.


 * IE can display all web pages - not all of them work in Firefox.

 * Internet Explorer 6 supports Tabbed Browsing when used with the MSN Toolbar extension in Windows XP.


 * Internet Explorer 7 includes Tabbed Browsing by default.


 * http://www.ieaddons.com/default.aspx?cid=home&scid=0 IE has add-ons.


 * http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html#winspeed IE 6 and 7 are faster than Firefox.

 * How do you figure? Internet Explorer Components in Windows take up a total well over 20MB.


 * There are a few, however there are pages Internet Explorer cannot display as well...
 * I'll give that to you, though I rarely come across pages that use the dumb things anymore. I prefer to download music, thank you.
 * That article is hugely out of date. All of the examples now work, or do not even exist.
 * Tabbed browsing is a standard browser feature, though it was Firefox that largely made it popular.
 * See Above
 * Yes, all browsers have always had ways to add on to them. Firefox has the most extensibility still.
 * Yes, the things it renders quicker are due partially to lack of all the elements to render from. :P Anyway, Firefox can be made to load pages much quicker, with settings that cannot be controlled from Internet Explorer.
