I don't think so. In real world, FireFox don't pay the problems as IE. Don't trust some sites and advise. Use it yourself.

I agree, I use myself only FF on Archlinux and Win, and this page is not mine.

I think the infos are a little bit biased. It was just for info.

Ooh you are in trouble now. FF users have a fanatical zeal in my experience and do not tolerate dissenters.

Nothing really surprising in the information. Only inexperienced or naive computer users would really believe FF is perfect. Sure it has it's flaws but as far as I'm concerned beats IE hands down in functunality and appearance. I have no links on my system now to even start IE, if I have to use the IE engine (example my internet banking requires IE) I use Avant browser (as the web site mentions). FF loads quite a bit faster then Avant but if one absoltuely needs to run IE, Avant gives a much more useful interface.

You cannot trust any software to be flawless. It is definitely a fact that many virus and troublemakers target mainly IE users though, because of the sheer number of users as well as their dislike for Microsoft.

I have no doubts that if Firefox belonged to Microsoft and IE was open source, the situation would be more or less reversed.

It really disturbs me Thai internet banks force users to use IE.

I tried to get all the Thai staff at my office using Firefox but it has a lot of trouble with many popular Thai sites (eg pantip.com, sanook.com). I'm sure most of that is poor website design / coding but IE seems to be more graceful in handling poorly designed sites. It also has problems detecting the Thai encoding on many sites.

Anyway, gradually converting most of them after you show them a few of the themes, Thai's love their eye candy!.

Many Thai website designers typically do not bother testing their websites in any other browsers than IE, so that's where the problem lies I think.
