I never use IE now except for testing sites offline, firefox is awesome.
There are some ways to speed up the browser too, can't remember where i found it , and it works a treat.
If you type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right mouse click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "5". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
