Does it open Microsoft sites (like hotmail) well?

Well if you use a direct link (like msn messenger 'email') then it will open using IE. But if you obviously just type the URL into Firefox then it opens it fine

mozilla works quite well; it's very rare to have a pop up and i find browsing is faster on it; if you don't have it, you should give it a go ; explorer has always given me problems

each time i open explorer loads of casino stuff and tollbars open... That sounds like an adware problem. You should get rid of it even if you're not using Explorer anymore; go to majorgeeks.com, look through the Spyware Specific section of their forum, read the Read This First thread and follow the instructions. It takes some time but it's definitely worth it. I believe what you're talking about can be fixed by going to Tools>Options and setting Firefox as your default browser. Actually, I've heard that Microsoft themselves have advised that people stop using Internet Explorer. I don't think Firefox is all it's cracked up to be. I myself have both IE and Firefox but I use FlashPeak SlimBrowser. It's very reliable and easy to use. I'd recommend that one.
