I’m a Firefox guy. The only reason I use it instead of IE is that it feels faster. Seriously.

I find it incredibly annoying that the only websites I frequent that require IE are those run by Microsoft. I’ve nothing against IE (I’ve never had the malware problems), but these websites disrupt whatever I’m doing. Most times I’ll just avoid the site. A good example is the MSN Video portion of MSN. Occasionally I’ll click a link leading to a video, at which point I’m told that I can’t watch it in anything but IE. This is odd since 1/2 of the emails I get link to funny videos on websites that do let me watch them in my browser of choice. Instead of launching IE and watching the (advertiser-supported) MSN Videos I simply move on. I’ve got too much stuff to do to be inconvenienced by this.

Which is why I was pleasantly surprised by the following error message. The site doesn’t support Firefox — but they’re working on correcting it. It’s a problem, and they’re fixing it. Bravo!
