I would suggest nobody change to IE9 if you are using IE as your browser. At several forums I frequent they are having horrible trouble and many have changed back.

Thanks for the heads up. Been using Google Chrome myself.

I've got the latest Firefox 4 and it had troubles here initially trying to upload pictures. I had to use Chrome for that and I had to go back to the previous version of Firefox and then upgrade again after they got it mostly sorted out. The main thing was that I didn't want to wait for Norton to catch up. By then they had updated their stuff to work with FF4.

I still have to use Chrome to buy stuff at Landsend if I want to see the product closeups... the particular shirt and color that you want. So I guess it has its quirks, too.

I had auto update enabled [off now] on FF and it upgraded me about a month ago. I was having so much trouble DL'ing videos on FF4, I went back to 3.6.17 this week. I also have Chrome, but I only use it if I'm in a hurry. It's faster than FF but has no extras. [I guess that's why it's faster] Haven't used IE in years.

I've been running IE9 for months without any problems at all. HUGE upgrade over IE8, they finally sped things up. I was using FF previously, IE8 was just too slow.

Fire fox kicks butt for updates, security, compatibility. Hard to get others to switch as my inlaws think the internet belongs to MSN or preferably, Compuserve. (They had a great intuitive training wheels email)

Boo micro soft... IE9 doesn't even support windows XP which is still the largest operating system.

I too went back to FF3. ..., I got along ok with FF4, but I missed my adblocker. It even blocks ads on Pandora, which is really nice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!!! Next you'll be pushing those systems with a half eaten apple. :D

BTW, if they are all working perfectly, Why do you need so many browsers?

FF 4.0.1 I usually update to the latest, greatest. Freeware gets it worked out. Its IE, that takes months to release an update full of bugs, then months more to resolve.

I enjoy avoiding those annoying ads before a video.

I use FF mostly.
Seamonkey comes with the system but I don't use it much.
Opera has a speed dial feature that I like to use.

But I do use all of them to see what my web site looks like in them.
I even boot up Windoz once in awhile to see how IE is treating my site. (and to see what the worms have been eating lately) :D

I get this weird redirect, when using Firefox 4.01

Says I need to disable AdBlockPlus... which I dont run. Hit back, then forward, and it loads correctly. Dunno what that is... but it happens about one out of 10 clicks, and only here.

Are you running Abine TACO?
If so try disabling it.

I was having some anomalies with IE9, until I updated Windows 7 to service pack 1, and that seems to have fixed most everything. I also use Chrome, FF4, Safari and Opera browsers. I just like to explore different tools. I use Chrome the most. I try to use IE9 the least since it's a Microsoft product.

Can you name a forum for me to try?

Thanks for the heads up. Been using Google Chrome myself.

Tried IE8/9 and FireFox.
But I'm a Chrome man all the way
(Version: 12.0.742.91 beta-m).
Not a lot of options.
But on my loaner XP it's way faster than anything else.
