Your review isn't fair in several places. You are blaming Firefox for the fact that theme designers don't have good web sites? You tried one plugin and decided that plugins are useless? Out of curiosity, how good are the theme sites for IE? How easy are the plugins to install, and how useful are they? How good are the cookie prefs in IE? (Ask for each cookie is in Firefox by the way, it's just slightly confusingly in the "how long" popup since Firefox has "yes", "no", and "just for the session" instead of a toggle.) How's the tabbed browsing and popup blocking in a standard IE install? Which is more trouble: a Firefox pref that could confuse someone into not being able to install extensions (which is something of a power user feature), or IE's default selection of "please hose my computer when I visit random pages".
I definitely prefer Camino on OS X, but when I'm using Windows there isn't even a remote comparison between using IE and using Firefox. That's what the hype is about. So either you haven't had to use IE on Windows in a very, very long time (in which case you are lucky), or you are deliberately missing the point. If it's the latter, shame on you. If it's the former, spend an hour in Olin lab browsing with IE, and then Firefox, and then see what you think.

Following all the recent fuss over Firefox, I decided to give it a trial run. Now I wish I hadn't. It aggrevated me so much, I reviewed it, which is something I've never done for software.

Have others had similar experiences?
