  By the way, as to upgrading to IE 9, you must have MS 7 or Vista. I have XP. I don’t currently have the money to upgrade to 7, so I guess I’ll just have to wait for the future.

  I have windows XP too so I can’t upgrade from IE8 to IE9 but that doesn’t phase me in the least. Way back when the browser version was IE6 I switched to using Firefox and have never looked back. I never have any of the issues that I see here on the forums.

  Why wait? You can do the same thing I did here > http://browsehappy.com and install a reliable Firefox 14.0.1 browser easily.

  Interesting idea. I’ll seriously consider it.

  Suit yourself but as for me I don’t muck around. I wanted a reliable browser that works and I got one years ago so I don’t have these issues at all.

  @texaslonestarreader: The most reliable browsers are Safari and Firefox. IE is a lousy browser, because it continues to ignore various web standards. Whenever a problem reported here proves to be browser related, it’s almost always IE, sometimes Chrome, almost never Safari or Firefox.
