Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
A client called the other day because a web application was misbehaving: a php script was pulling the wrong email out of the database when she pulled up one particular record record. I walked through it with her over the phone, clicking on the same buttons on the same screen as she was doing, and I got the right email address at the same time that she got the wrong one.
She was using IE, I was using Firefox. Hmmm, that's a clue. We got a third person in on the party, using IE, and she got the right email address.
I had the client with the problem clear out her Internet History and her Internet Temp Files. Problem solved.
use how? I use it for testing, and certain things I want to do only work the way I want in IE (like jumping through huge lists of links) .. so I use it regularly... but it's not my main browser anymore... as noted by the goofy-ish appearance of the newer

Add to that security, extremely high customisablity (you'll probably find a Firefox extension for anything you could wish for. One I really grew to love is FoxyTunes, which allows you to control your mp3-player from the browser) and and and. Regarding IE's GUI: you can even get a theme for Firefox that makes it look like IE...
