OT: Stop IE

In what way?

Well, let's put it this way.

I've heard of plenty of people having trouble with Fireweasel crashing, losing profile data such as bookmarks etc., and various other problems.

I have never experienced these problems, never once lost any bookmarks, very rarely experienced a crash. I'm using Mozilla.

Even when I was using the pre-release 0.x versions of Firefox--I started at 0.5 and worked up to 0.8--I did not experience anything more major than some crashes (lockup), which I later attributed to an incompatability between Gecko (the rendering engine for all Mozilla browsers) and my video card at the time.

Firefox 0.5, btw, was much faster than Mozilla, so there was a reason for its existence. Firefox is now no faster than its more mature brother lizard. But if you want speed, try the 1.8 beta of Mozilla--it screams. Try K-Meleon. It screams louder.

Tell me about it....

I started Designing Websites when I was 13, I'm 19 now and now that I use firefox I've found that the w3c standards are a great thing.

However, unlearning 6 years of bad habits and coding is a hell of a lot more difficult than I thought!

Same here. I'm using Firefox 1.0.7.
