[RESOLVED] Firefox VS IE

[Cyntila]

Hi Guys,

I only have a little question on my mind and I wonder if any of you could give me an answer... Why do web developers prefer Firefox instead of IE?

My friend asked me this the other day and it's not the first time that someone asks me that question. Also I know that all my uncles and my cousins will ask me the same question at the christmas party and I'd like to be able to give them an answer once and for all. :D

Thanx a lot and Merry Christmas to all you developers freak! :p

Some people prefer it for the following reasons:

tabbed browsing
DOM inspector
turning on/off CSS styles
the number of plug-ins you can download
better CSS support than IE 6

However, IE7 provides the first and last options now.

Thanx a lot Ryanbutler for your fast and clear answer!

That way I won't look like a jerk at the christmas parties! :cool:
