I’m no fan of Microsoft, but IE has always worked for me. Still, wanting to increase my system’s security and shamed into feeling like a member of the unenlightened stone-age masses, I gave in and installed Firefox early this week. I made it my default browser and removed all the desktop shortcuts to IE, determined to break the habit.

Overall it’s a browser I enjoy using, but I’m having a few problems. After a week, here are some of the ones I haven’t yet been able to get around:

- Yahoo! LaunchCast, where I get most of my music throughout the day, does not support it. Not really Mozilla’s fault, but not good for me.
- I would have linked “Firefox” in this entry, but I’m using it to blog this, and the formatting and URL buttons in Movable Type do not appear (yes of course I can enter the HTML tags manually but that implies changing the keyboard language to English, etc). There has to be a simple plugin I need to download for this.
- This page looks like shit in it. I shudder at the thought of having to put in the time to make it look right for the two browsers simultaneously (sorry, but IE still accounts for 70% of my visitors).
