I would hope you're not wearing one. LOL I'm personally convinced that
Firefox is the numero uno for the hundreds of plugins (many of which add
a lot of functionality) if no other reason.

painless!).
FF3 just has too many memory leak issues (these are from die-hard Apple
fans/MS haters who are heavy web browsing-types); not to say IE
doesn't, but
if it's not really better...
Does anyone else know about the supposed memory and/or CPU issues
with Flash
in IE and other browsers tho? I thought I remembered reading something
about that somewhere...

Subject: Re: [H] IE7 problem
I am interested in this IE7 business also. I have been
testing/using IE7 on my XP test machine. After a year of living
with IE7, I have to say that I do not care for its' new format. I
get lost quickly trying to drive IE7; so, I do not do much testing
any longer............. :)
My remaining non-FF machines still use IE6sp1(?).
But, during my last 3 XP upgrades I see that MS is leaning harder
on trying to force IE7 installation during the initial WinUpdate
cycle. Scary. Kudos that MS still allows me to NOT install IE7,
but I suspect the time will come that it will be either IE7 or the
highway......
:(
My out will be FF3 which I am growing more happy with each day of
use; even with its' own set of small glitches.

This is a very interesting problem. I had something similar, but I

how
this is solved for future reference.

no IE7
uninstall in Add/Remove programs, and there is no %windir%\IE7 folder
(there
is a %windir%\IE7updates folder.) Anyone ever see this? I've tried
reinstalling IE7, and it appears to install, but still doesn't work.
