I'm joining the bandwagon I've seen many developers now on and I just switched my default browser to Firebird from IE. IE sucks! Firebird is just far superior with things like tab browsing, standard compliance, and extensions. Since this is a Microsoft hosted site I suspect someone from MS must be reading this and thinking shit we're really losing ground as they well should. In my department of no more than 15 developers I know now 4 developers who have switched to Firebird for home use. These are MS software developers!
Firebird still has it's bugs like problems with the mouse scroll wheel not always responding, ctrl + enter not always working cleanly, and slow load times just to name a few but at least the development team has shown the desire to move forward. Releases come out regularly and improvements are always drastic. MS is shooting themselves in the foot by thinking IE's market share will hold on forever.
Wake up call to MS... you just released an earnings report stating Linux is taking away some of the renewals of your contracts because you disregarded them for years. Don't you think the same thing is bound to happening with the internet browser market?!?!?
