You lot are all fucking idiots. iirc IE6 (explorer.exe) is an integral part of the operating system and takes great difficulty and causes many inconvenience to uninstall.

---

You do not recall correctly. IE6 is iexplore.exe; explorer.exe is the Windows visual shell.

As far as an active x plugin for Firefox, there are a few out there. Firefox does not need ActiveX, only the sites requiring IE use ActiveX, such as Windows Update.

---

Say I were an Opera user (sometimes I am), would you make me change to FF?  

---

no, cause it's not made by microsoft

I'm not sure why "made by Microsoft" is such a problem.  I mean, if you can run I.E., you're using Windows, which is already made by Microsoft.  If you want to avoid stuff made by Microsoft, use an operating system that's not made by Microsoft and as such won't even run I.E.

Also from a developers point of view it is required to test websites on multiple Browsers to ensure compatabillity.

Also i belive BBCs Iplayer requires IE, also ITV requires Silverlight which is IE only i think.

okay what tards are voting no?

---

The retards that realize some sites require you to use IE.

---

Solution: User Agent Switcher.  Basically tricks the site into thinking you're using IE, but really are using Firefox.  It's worked wonders for me.

Ah, such as shame that I couldn't delete that viris/pop up annoyance. But, you need IE to have Hotmail. :@

---

Not true, I have hotmail, and I use Firefox.

Mine isn't like that.. I deleted it all, but then my msn said it required it. Even if you have firefox.

You don't need IE.  I can get into my hotmail account from Linux, which most definitely does not have IE.  It works with Firefox or Opera.

Then mine must be a bit screwey, we dug far into it, and then msn didn't work without it. Ask SilverDoor tho, he is the one that did it for me.

Install FF yes, Uninstall IE no.

I think, therefore we have nothing in common

There is only one guarantee in life, and that is NOW.

Just because it's made by Microsoft, doesn't mean it's the goddamned devil. I'm not sure which is worse, anti-Microsoft goons, or rabid Firefox/OSS "supporters".
