I only use Firefox to view Facebook, as I've got a plug-in called FaceBook Purity (FBP) installed, which means you can get rid of things you don't want to see - the new trends thing, various toolbars, even filter the newsfeed to remove words such as "miley cyrus" or "Justin bieber" etc... When they make the add-in for IE, I'll get rid of FF for good.

Not even at a client. When Chrome came out, I used it a lot - that was in the days of IE6 - but since I updated to Windows 7 and 8 on my workstations and laptops, it has been IE only. The reason is simple: Zero issues. Some of my colleagues experience problems now and then with government sites (why are these always "weird") so they switch between Chrome and IE whatever fits. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Jim Lawrence Sendt: 17. marts 2014 23:08 Til: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] [dba-OT] Mozilla cancelled Firefox for Windows 8 The first program you download with IE?
