It's nice that I can have a browser with tabs when I have to use works Outlook Web Access and those sites that have all the funky activeX stuff but I still like Firefox better. It sucks though, I just found my favorite Firefox plugins so I've holding off on FF2 just because most of the plugins aren't updated yet. In can anyone is curious, Tab Mix Plus https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1122/

For those of you that use Firefox but hate switching to IE for those buggy Web sites, use the IETab extension... http://ietab.mozdev.org/

This allows you to run IE within a Firefox tab. All you need to do to switch between FF and IE is click a small icon on the lower-right corner of the Firefox window. You can also tell IETab which sites you always want to load using IE (like windowsupdate.com).

Outlook Web Access works in FF also, but its a little different -- i think some things are more limited, but since ive never used it under either FF or IE, i cant say how much, but my dad uses it under FF all the time

im not sure how i like FF2 (which im using now), being able to scroll the tabs bar is nice, but the tabs min size is much larger (i commonly have 30+ tabs open)

the spell checker is nice, makes posting faster, though i dont like it flagging my no-apostrophe contractions i like to use (just used it to correct my badly spelled 'apostrophe'), and its nice having a drop down list of open tabs

overall, i think it was worth the move (havent tried IE7)

I'm tring IE7 at the moment. I think is overly confusing and clone of firefox 1. Also it's rather slow.
