Why I Keep Using IE
I have tried Firefox, the last three versions in fact. I'm sure it works well for normal surfing, but I lose my buttons in MT for Bold, Italic, Underline and URL.
I suppose I could spend several hours trying to figure out why, but frankly, I don't have several hours to try to make MT work correctly in Firefox, so I continue to use IE.
If anyone knows of a very quick fix for this, let me know - but if it is something that requires rewriting templates and stylesheets, arggggghh- fergit it!

I recently installed Mozilla and I do like it, but I don't use MT, so I don't know what would happen. I'm more used to IE, so I still go with IE more often then Mozilla.

I use IE most of the time...mostly out of habit. I like the tabbed windows in Firefox and thought it would be handy for blogging. I was halfway through a post before I realized the buttons were missing. I ended up just typing the code in. The only other option I know of is to have both browsers open and use IE for MT and Firefox for browsing.

Sekimori posted a link to a fix for this a little while back -- see the post at http://sekimori.org/archives/003458.php .
Cheers.

While it's an IE based browser, Avant has more options and is more stable. Google it and try it! You'll like it. I promise.
