Sinclair is absolutely right. Also I use Firefox as my main browser. 
Firefox has many practical, technical features I like very much. 
Moreover, Firefox works quite well with at least 9 out of every 10 
websites I visit. Even complicated websites like that of my bank work 
well with Firefox, which is perfectly open source and flexibly 
adjustable to many practical needs. Even something complicated and 
delicate like on line banking transactions are perfectly possible with 
Firefox in combination with the site of my bank.

HOWEVER....!! NEVER rely on one web browser only. Also other open source 
browsers like Konqueror and Opera can have certain advantages Firefox 
hasn't.

Upon reading Sinclairs input, I gratefully bookmarked the link to 
'IES4Linux': a browser that can be used to consult websites that only 
work with Internet Explorer. Such software may also deliver useful 
feedback to check how your own website design looks like on Internet 
Explorer - something I have been looking for a while. On the other hand, 
also the author of 'IES4Linux' advises to use 'Firefox' for web browsing 
in general... The open source community is deliciously clever..... :-)

Warm greetings,

Bas.
