Re: Mozilla makes huge stride towards competing with IE

I like mozilla 100 times better than IE but Mozilla has a few quirks that
need to be worked out. For instance, at LSU we have wireless internet on
campus where we have to login via http and in mozilla it sees the
certificate as being old and doesnt let me authenticate. But with mozilla
the browsing experience as a whole is better than IE.

I am moving to Mac soon so I hope the browser is nicer than both but if it
isnt I'm going with mozilla.
