With IE7 Flyertalk took forever to load because it would hang up on the phishing filter. With FF 2.0.0.2 I have no crashing or issues. I just reformatted my hard drive and refuse to reinstall IE 7. I'm sticking with IE6 on my WinXP.

Is there an equivalent to ....... Plus for IE? That is one of the add ons I like for FF (don't tell the ad people at FT that though).

Try it for two weeks, and I expect you'll be happy to pay the registration cost.

FF is also the highest resource user on my system. I use FF, Mrs. Redbeard uses IE7. That way we can both stay logged into our Yahoo accounts without switching.

Again, that's because of your plugins.

And are you both really using the same user account? IE and FF (and everything else) allow personalized settings, bookmarks, etc in each Windows user account. Each user should have their own personal user account.

It's free, but it does ad-blocking and various other things. To me, it brings some of the best features of FF (and its popular plug-ins) into IE7.

Jack of all trades, master of none, is probably an accurate description.

I understand how to do that, but I'm not the only user. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

I was actually using FF2 when I was posting. I don't use IE7 for this site because (as mentioned), IE7's phishing filter makes it too slow.
