I use Firefox for most things but I do typically  do the daily surveys on here on IE

I use Google Chrome. It seems to work better for me than anything that I have tried.

I also have experienced browser problems trying to complete tasks on FC, using both IE and Firefox.  When you switched to Google Chrome, did you uninstall either of the others?  If not, does that slow down your pc functions to have several browsers installed?

Does Firefox open the pages quickly for you?  I get so frustrated having to wait.

I use FF, Chrome and IE, interchangeable in that order. Sometimes things work better on a different browser for some reason. Sometimes an add-on on a browser may create conflicts that in another browser that very same add-on wouldn't cause. All things are not created equal, so I switch between them as I find it fit. I've used pretty many browsers in my life, including Netscape back in the day, Opera and Safari. I have found that those three I currently use satisfy all my needs, therefore I do not need all of the others. I must add that the main reason why I use a combination of the three is due to certain offers crediting in some browsers but not others. If I were to use the browser exclusively to surf the web and not worry about offers crediting, I am certain one browser will suffice. In that case, I'd go Firefox first, and if at some point it lags, crushes, or freezes continuously, then it becomes a matter of personal preference. If I like my current browser and will like to keep it, I'll try everything to bring it back to a working state. If the fix and/or problems are not up to me, and cannot be fixed by me, and the developers won't do it, then I'll switch to a different browser in a heart bit. Which brings me to my second choice, Chrome. and IE would be my third.

I use Chrome and FF, IE sucks really bad and I avoid it as much as possible, I do not like it.  It slows down my computer and freezes up on me all the time.  Chrome I like the best but I am good with Firefox,  I use all 3 of them to get credits from videos, sometimes it pays on 1 and not the other or it pays again in another one.

I use IE8. I have used Firefox in the past and found it to be faster and easier to operate. The only problem I find with FF is that you have to download add-ons for just about everything. FF was popular at work, where I worked in Data Systems. Like Oldbuddy stated, I find it easier if you are running a linux system then a Windows system when working with FF. Chrome seems to work OK also but, seems to take alot of memory!!

I've never had any problems with FireFox and have used it for years.
It's definitely my preferred browser, but then, like I said, I've never had any problems with it before.

I use IE, but just out of habit.  I see Firefox has good reviews from the posters.

To me, FF is faster than IE.

I use FireFox and I absolutely love it. I do like Google Chrome too but I prefer FireFox because of specific add-ons I use.

I was told I needed the google chrome or firebox for my online school blackboard, but I don't like either browser and have been suffering through it on internet explorer 9, but because of that yellow bar on the bottom of the page, I think I am going to get rid of it, it is causing me to lose all kinds of money during surveys ect. i am so upset right now though, because I finished a survey got done, and somehow clicked on a continue button to go further, then it had a page that would accept no answer no matter what you chose, anotherwards, it was messed up, so after way over 30 minutes I end up with nothing and I am very upset over it. I could of been doing my homework.

I get kicked out of surveys when using IE; I will be part way through the survey then get a screen that says, "Internet Explorer cannot display this web page."  That has happened with Firefox also but not as much.  It is very frustrating.
