Internet Explorer Or Mozilla?

2. Doesn't support as many Javascripts as IE (some of which are needed for some sites)

Mozilla supports just as many "javascripts" as IE, but it supports them in the way that referral to the DOM is supposed to work. So if you come across a site where the Javascript doesn't work, blame the programmer, not the browser.

Porn came with the d*mn thing, not only porn but the stupid viruses came with it as it does with porn ... from then on I knew it was bad

And are you sure that you downloaded Mozilla and not something else? Because if you downloaded it from http://www.mozilla.org then you shouldn't have had a single problem.

sites load slower fonts are huge ad my site wont open in mozilla but opens fine in i.e. wow MOZILLA SUX ASS!

As above. Your code "SUX ASS", not the browser. If you tried coding to standards you would find that all of a sudden everything works in Mozilla and you need to start hacking it up to get it to work in IE.

well i have one question tigmarque so all of my codes work in every web browser except firefox and mozilla just becuz its not finished? umm.. that meens mozilla isnt smart enough to figure out whats wrong like i.e. and automatically fix it there self!

Chaos-bliss, don't be daft.
It's not that Mozilla isn't smart enough, it's that it actually tries to comply with the industry set standards which is something that Internet Explorer does not do (IE5 for Mac is only the exception to this).

Look at my websites - and I'm a web designer/developer by profession here. They all work in IE and Mozilla and I have absolutely no problem. in fact, I will rarely ever have a problem getting it to display in Mozilla. It is almost always IE that has the issues. It isn't that Mozilla isn't "smart" enough, its that the person programming is obviously too lazy or too dumb to do it right to begin with.

If you bothered to learn about standards and actually use them and learn about the DOM then maybe you would realise this.

ok well i dont look on i.e not having these comply with the industry standards i always thought of thatas a upside but maybe ill try to take your point of view in all of this.

Honestly, I wasn't meaning to grate on people who didn't follow standards. It would be nice if everyone did but for personal websites, what the hey? It's a personal site.

I only really get antsy when a banks website for example doesn't work properly on all browsers (right down to the dreaded Netscape 4).

It would just be nice to know that the next generation of web programmers actually knew about these things.

I've always used IE (netscape long ago), and I don't really like the design and looks of mozilla or netscape, and IE is just fast and simple, so I stick with it.

Cuz your stupid site sucks. It lags the hell out of IE.

I use Internet Exporer, never used Mozilla. But I did use net scape too before I got OS X.

I use Mozilla. It's more stable. Sometimes IE works pretty great. Sometimes it just sucks. I find mozilla easier to navigate with and it's never frozen on me. But I still use IE a lot.

[hips&hearts]

Mozilla > IE
It DOES seem to be faster, which is nice, you have to admit. & I heard all of the adware is programed for IE, so it dosen't affect mozilla whatsoever, The whole multiple tabs on one screen option is something I can definitely get used to.

I don't really like the design and looks of mozilla

Another plus of Mozilla and its byproducts. You can skin it. So you don't ever have to complain about the way it looks again
