Unfortunately just about everyone in my company uses IE so I still check
to make sure things look ok in there, otherwise I use firefox
exclusively, I don't see me going back to IE, unless firefox or mozilla
stop making a browser and MS gets their act together and make a better
browser.

Ever since Raymond Camden mentioned how good Firefox was I've been using
it almost exclusively and see no compelling reason to use IE except to
verify site design.

"Paul has reported some vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, allowing
malicious
people to bypass security restrictions and potentially compromise a
vulnerable
system.
1) It is possible to redirect a function to another function with the
same name,
which allows a malicious website to access the function without the
normal
security restrictions.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary script code in
the context
of another website. This could potentially allow execution of
arbitrary code in
other security zones too.
2) Malicious sites can trick users into performing actions like
drag'n'drop or
click on a resource without their knowledge. An example has been
provided, which
allows sites to add links to "Favorites". However, resources need not
be links
and the destination could be different than "Favorites"."
The solution? :
"Solution:
Disable Active Scripting.
Use another product."
