New version of Mozilla out.  Version 6.1 or something.  Haven't tried it yet.  Comes with email client.  Yay.

The only complaint I have with Firebird is that there's no "copy" function. =\

For copying...you can.  Highlight, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V.

Caliban: While enjoyment is the most important factor in choosing a browser, be advised that Internet Explorer has little to no security at all, and you're open to a lot of spyware and hackers while using it. In fact, if you don't already have a spyware remover, I'd suggest getting one immediately and running it- you'll be amazed how much crap is on your computer.

Indeed - for spyware and adware, I recommend download Ad-aware and using the auto-updater with it.  Then use a custom scan and select everything possible.  The first time I did it on my oldest computer, it found over 100 items - all of them transmitting information on your computer to other companies, while at the same time hogging system resources.

Excellent- if you're going to use IE, having a program like Spybot or Adaware is essential.

I would also recommend using a registry cleaning tool.  While it doesn't actually do any real harm to your computer, it can do things like slow down boot and load times.

And it's good that you have a scanner like that.  Microsoft should really have something like that (assuming they didn't have it ignore certain things), but they never would in a million years.  It's not hard work for them, but in the end, they make money off of programs like that.
