I wouldn't touch IE for general browsing... Its sole use on this PC is for visiting Windoze Update and that's it.
I'm definitely a Firefox/Mozilla person... If a site is "designed" only for IE and displays incorrectly using a standards-based browser like Firefox, I don't use it.
Having said that, the IE-specific web sites these days are thankfully in a minority.
Anyway, back to the original poster's comments: I've not seen anything like that with Firefox using either its Win32 or Linux versions.
And... has there been any movement with the AmiZilla project?
