IE6 and FF2 to be deliberately behind-the-times, for testing purposes.

IE6 at work though I'm now on the IE8 test team, and mainly IE8 at home, though I also have Firefox etc for website testing.

it's funny how so often M**rosoft sites (Windows Update, Outlook Web Access) only work properly in IE... there was a short while that MSN (as in the portal site, not the messenger service) was serving Opera with a Style Sheet that didn't actually work in any browser. If you forced it to serve the IE style sheet, the site rendered well... and the "opera special" didn't work in IE or firefox

I have FF at home with adblock and noscript. When wrestling with an already too slow computer I find it advantageous not to sit for ages while the browser crashes trying to start pointless scripts... I use Opera at work, the speed dial is dead handy and i like having my email in the same window. I generally only ever use IE for things like Windows Update that just plain don't work properly... |

Yep. Can't bear banner ads that flash "Look at me!" so into adblock they go. IE sometimes for testing and a few sites work better in it e.g. Outlook Web Access. |

I got it originally for tabbed browsing, way back when, and have seen no reason to change.

Funny I did wonder what was driving all these Firefox upgrades, I use it to listen to the radio at work, but nothing else, but today noticed a bit of a blingy upgrade package, wondered who it was, now I know, its you lot.
