Why do you think I'm saying that? What part of "on my machines" isn't 
clear to you?

You *do* realize that in order for me to be saying this, I'd have to 
actually use firefox on a regular basis, right? If you look at my 
headers, you'll see I'm using thunderbird, and have been since it was 
called "Mozilla 4.x". I haven't opened OE or IE for ... months? Years? 
Outlook is an abomination. Firefox and thunderbird have minor 
annoyances. IE and OE are too dangerous to run.

Happy?

Depends on what you're surfing, I suppose. Sure, sometimes it works 
great. Sometimes it takes a lot of CPU cycles until I figure out what's 
going on. And you can't tell me you haven't heard people complaining it 
over-buffers stuff.
