I have a question for all of you… What do browser do you use, and why do you prefer that one?<\/p>\n

The reason I’m asking is because I use Firefox and it’s starting to bug me how things are always missing. When I visit websites I never know if I’m getting the full site or not.<\/p>\n

Let me show you…<\/p>\n

This is Amazon.co.uk<\/a> with Internet Explorer:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now look at this… it’s the same page in Firefox:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Do you see the difference? At the top only one the “*Rent* DvD” tab is showing on Firefox, rather than the tabs for all the different sections. Also the Amazon.co.uk logo is missing from the top. I’m sure there are other differences as you look through the site, but these are the ones that are most noticable when first visiting.<\/p>\n

I love Firefox mainly because I couldn’t imagine not having tabbed browsing. I always have at least 5 tabs going in my browser at once and I wouldn’t want to use another browser that would require a seperate window for each one. I’m not sure I can stand these constant errors that I get on websites due to using Firefox though.<\/p>\n

I also get it a fair bit when I’m signing up for things. I notice sections of applications or forms missing and when I right click and choose “View this page with IE”, there they are!<\/p>\n

Tonight I heard IE being described as a spyware collecting heap of nuts and bolts<\/em>, but am not sure how much truth there is to it. I didn’t really mind IE when I used it and the only reason I switched to Firefox was because someone waved the tabbed browsing under my nose.<\/p>\n

Opinions? I’d like some input on this browser situation… Do the rest of you Firefox users experience this as well? Will Microsoft ever wisen up and give IE tabbed browsing?<\/p>\n

** UPDATE<\/strong> ** After reading the comments I turned off my ADBLOCK extension in Firefox and the problem has been solved!! Thanks for the tips!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
