On December 30, 2004, the Wall Street Journal published an article about the advantageous of Firefox over IE. However, the article did mention one of the disadvantageous of Firefox was that "some web sites, especially financial ones, have chosen to tailor themselves specifically for Internet Explorer. They rely on features only present in IE, and either won't work or work poorly in Firefox and other browsers."

For those that need it, there is an extension of Firefox that adds an option called "View this page on IE."

I now use Firefox almost exclusively. However, there are some sites where Firefox does not work properly. For those sites, I have kept IE.

If you have not used Firefox, give it a try. You probably will like it.
