Ok man, we get it, you don't like IE9. No need to point it out every time you talk about web browsers.

I have installed Opera and keep upgrading it but can't seem to unfixate from FF. Like pparks1, I see no great advantage in IE once I have gotten used to FF but I works fine and reasonably fast. Except for some security issues with IE, if it works for you, no reason I can see to jump ship to FF. (FireFox is not immune to invasions.)

But I have a real beef with Chrome that keeps me from adopting it, despite its loading speed: It insists on installing itself in the installers private directories rather than under "Program Files". This means I have to grant other users of my PC access to my directories, or that each user must install their own copy.
