Firefox sucks. Get rid of it.

Sure and use internet explorer instead? Thanks, no.

Internet Explorer is the industry standard browser. As a result it has more people finding faults, less holes as a result of people fixing faults, more research and money being ploughed into it, more chance of product improvement through patches and new versions because of the money and people put into maintaining it, higher levels of compatibility and most likely higher quality programmers. I would imagine it's more stable and robust than the other browsers.

No, Mozilla is much better. My argument is simple: the benefits of using IE are too few - and the faults too great — to put off the adoption of an alternative any longer.

    Security

Just about everyone reading this has seen computers that have been beaten down with spyware - the evil junk that hijacks IE and renders a system virtually useless. How many times have you been called to a family member’s house to clean up their system? Or had to call your techie friend to come clean yours? It’s often quite awkward - the system slows to a crawl and every other mouse click conjures up some species of perverse, obscene image. What most people don’t realize, however, is that there is a very simple and powerful way to defend your system (and/or the systems of your loved ones) in one fell swoop.

Don’t use Internet Explorer.

What makes other browsers better than IE at protecting vs. spyware and other attacks? Well, it’s simple really - most other browsers don’t make it so easy to install malicious software on your system without you knowing about it. IE makes it relatively trivial through two features called ActiveX and Active Scripting. These technologies were designed specifically for the purpose of giving websites more control over a user’s computer. Unfortunately, as we have seen with exploit after exploit - that’s not always a good thing.

In addition to the spyware issues, IE in general has had a terrible track record when it comes to all types of serious security issues. For years now, it’s seemed like every time you turn around there is a new way to have your computer taken over via Internet Explorer. Put “internet explorer” and “allow an attacker to execute commands” (with the quotes) into Google and you’ll see what I mean.

I also get crashes in firefox when i play @ flyordie games. I always use IE since I dont have any spywares on it. I use firefox to surf the web though.

Johnny, whilst it's true that IE can be manipulated to install stuff more easily, the problem lies with the user. To someone who knows how to look after their computer IE doesn't cause problems. There are too many people who don't care about what they are installing until their computer is buggered.

my internet explorer wont let me play on it, the page just doesnt load, my firefox also crashes. i normally subscribe so i can play on the pc game anyway and its ok, but when i do play i use opera. i tried using netscape too but it never works.

hara,if the Fat Lady starts to sing,is that the end of opera ?

:p

knowing hara, he'll probably say yes :)

Fly or die stinks to not support well Firefox. That's all.

Firefox support and respect all W3C standards not IE. 

Firefox is turn on all platforms (windows/linux/mac).

Why FlyOrDie don't support it...
