I dont like firefox that much… I just downloaded it and its not all that amazing… The IE with tabs works MUCH better then firefox… luckily I have both.

Firefox is like the filet mignon of internet browsers, while IE6 is the Slim Jim.

I always thought it was more like a Vienna Sausage.

If it has tabs, then it’s not IE6, so you’re in the clear

I’m not 100% sure what we use (haven’t updated in awile) but it useses the tab system… anywho…. if we are using IE6 it works extremely well.

@ Vincent Woo: I would, but the computer just won’t have it. Seriously. I was trying to even go older than that and use FF1.5, but because it only has 32 meg of RAM and its only running at 233mhz, anything else and it just freaks out. Even on a fast internet connection like that what we have at our apartment, it doesn’t like even running one tab, much less more than that. IE 5.5 is the highest stable browser that it allows and runs smoothly.

Its an adventure running it, and its made a good computer for when I needed it here or there, but even still? I prefer my desktop. That’s a “last resort” style of system for me to use… haha.

@Adam That is unnecessary cruelty

If not Firefox 3, then Firefox 2 makes a fine substitution. Win98 is on the supported list http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements-v2.html

Your statistics might be lying to you.

I use a program that filters internet traffic for me. (Great for blocking popups and ads on all websites). I’ve got it set to identify my browser as IE6, even though thats not what I’m using.

Hahahaha oh man. I sadly can fully agree with you, but I have to throw in one caveat: some people may be using an older computer that might not best support one of them.

Like me, when I’m on my old backup laptop that’s running Windows 98SE, like now. So when you see that someone accessed HIF with Internet Explorer 5.5? You know its me.

But yeah, in all seriousness, if you can use a better browser, you should go with one: be it Opera, Safari, Firefox, or IE7. The securities are much better and the browsers are just all around better browsers. If your computer doesn’t support a better browser? Make sure that yours is updates as much as it can be to ensure that your computer is secure.

Now, Goob, you’ve inspired me to start viewing the site on my laptop just so you can keep seeing IE 5.5 pop up…
