Firefox market share bounces back 668 plus 19

Really? How long have you benchmarked the two? We run FF and IE both at my workplace and at home (my wife uses IE.) I personally see a tremendous difference. She uses IE and does a lot of work on ebay and a few other online auction sites. At least once a week, IE gets so bogged with temp files it completely freezes - which of course hangs the entire system.

I invited her to try FF, which she did for about three weeks. It did not hang once. Ever. But guess what? She went back to using IE just to be stubborn - she hates it when I'm right.

Erm... except IE won't run on my Linux laptop or my workstations, all of which most certainly *do* favorably impact my wallet.

That's not Mozilla's mission. They make a great browser and several other applications that run on any paltform. Thunderbird is huge improvement over OE in my opinion; and I can integrate encryption-PGP a la carte.

Can't say the same about IE or OE (well, you could but you'd be lying).

The point is that FF is a great browser and runs on Linx, as well as Windows and Mac. Konqueror, Epiphany, Galleon, are also a good browsers, but I prefer FF because I feel it offers the best performance - especially 1.5.

I can't speak for Firefox proponents - only myself - and I've already explained my perspective.
