Two things I dislike about firefox are full screen mode and slow flash sites. In both cases IE is better. Try www.warcraft2.com.

Use Privoxy

Your actual reading of the EULA is impressive

. Your post scared me so I looked into it and apparently they got enough flak from this (they claim) mistake that they've already changed those terms.

I have always refused to use IE unless absolutely forced to do so. MicroSux lost me when gates thought the internet was a fad in 1995. A couple years later he had acquired a browser from another party and it took them 5 or 6 years to catch up to NetScape. MicroSux got started in the business via piracy so turn about is far play.

Ok, I just played with it on my parallels virtual xp machine, and it's ok, but I realized that the reason I love firefox is that with all the plugins i've installed, it's really customized to me. Without tabmix, greasemonkey, webdeveloper, exif viewer, etc. even firefox doesn't really do what I want, but luckily ff has all those plugins, and they make me happy.

The number one thing I missed was "search for text when I start typing" which is a key feature of ff for me. Basically, I am stuck in a rut with ff, and I like it fine.
