Subject: RE: BS: Why people use Internet Explorer....and
OK, OK, Bill, I mistyped. My excuse is that I was up scrubbing floors until 2 AM.....
Yes, I use Google Chrome 50 percent of the time, because it's faster. I just discovered the new version of Firefox 4.something today, and it looks really good. I've made it my default browser until something happens to it that frustrates me. That's why I switch browsers - when the browser I'm using does something to frustrate me.
Maybe I'll try Opera next time I get frustrated with Firefox.
I forgot - I have one frustration with Firefox, and I just checked now and see it isn't fixed in Version 4. When I'm researching a song, I like to post the Traditional Ballad Index entry for the song into the thread, and then review the versions of the song I find in the Ballad Index and Roud. I do a "view source" on the Ballad Index, and copy-paste. This works fine in all other browsers, but Firefox inserts several extra carriage returns in the middle of the text, and I have to delete all those extra blank lines before I post. Minor inconvenience, but enough to make me switch.
