I use both, mainly firefox but sometimes I can't get some websites to work properly and have to resort to IE.

That's the answer. You can't really get rid of IE. As good a browser as Firefox is, some sites were written with IE in mind. Well most are, but some are so specific that Firefox just doesn't do a very good job displaying content. IMO, it isn't a better/best equation. They are both functional and complete. The problem with IE, and consequently the only reason I use Firefox, is scripts/attacks/spyware/etc... you are subject to when you use IE that you are basically immune to when using a Mozilla browser. Well tabs. I guess there are few reasons Firefox might be construed as "better" but then again, it can't really be best can it when some sites simply are not useable with it.

Firefox.

Here's a Firefox extension you can use if by chance you want to see a page in IE. Dunno if it works - never had any need to use it yet.

Only installed it yesterday...
