80% of the world uses IE. Deal with it 
In fact, I (personally) see no reason to use Firefox anymore as IE has gained ground. Firefox is slower on my computer than IE.

I don't know what planet you're (see I got it right) living on, but I don't know a soul who uses IE anymore. You were right once upon a time, but no more. IE is bloated and much slower than Firefox plus has so many bugs as to make it difficult to use.

It's about 50%, with Firefox close behind.
With Firefox climbing and IE falling rapidly. IE has NOT gained ground. It has lost ground rapidly, both in market share and features.
Face it, IE is a piece of crap compared to Firefox, Chrome or Safari. If you don't like Firefox, use one of the other ones and you'll still enjoy a vastly improved browsing experience. Or stick with IE, but you can't play smug if you do.

Yes, I will admit defeat. When I made that post, it was quick and without confirming any numbers. I went and actually researched after the fact, and came away quite surprised. My bad.
Having said that, then why doesn't the GRM website properly support Firefox? And also, why does firefox run slower on my computer then? I'm all for faster, better browsing but nothing helps

IE runs faster because its always running as part of explorer. I think. Don't quote me on that.
However, (I'm uneducated, this is what I've seen, its my opinion) the difference in speed is not detectable by me (this is using the latest Chrome and the latest IE), and FF/Chrome runs better--less crashing, less bugs, it can handle me having six tabs open at once without anything going boom. IE can't.
From what I've seen, GRM is better on Chrome than it is on FF or IE. But that could just be me having a love affair with Chrome.
Also, its clear that nothing is perfect--I have firefox, IE, and Chrome, and use them all, because none of them can do all of it. I could probably get by with just two of them, but I like Chrome best.
Here's a good link explaining the different operating systems. Its NSFW, but not by much.

Equally infuriating to me is when someone posts in a forum:

How about a description so I can decide if its worth my 30 seconds to view your stupid video?
FWIW, Im running FF on my work desktop, and the networks password request always gimps up the browser...i typically have about 8 tabs open - multiple web aps for work and GRM and email ...when a linked pic appears on a post on GRM and the work network requires a password for FF to be allowed to get it and display it, at least once a day FF goes berserk and I need to enter my user name and password to allow it to display any image - avatars, header on the work aps, anything...I will spend about 5 minutes at least a day entering the same username and password over and over and over and over and ovcer anddoveandaoveransrverandover andoverafdsafadsfsdf...
its maddening.
Aside from that, I love FF

And that counts firefox pretending to be IE as IE.
I thought discussions about browsers was on the Web Sins list too

Double especially those sites with the "walk on" person who starts yammering at you. I don't know who thinks that makes a site more effective, 'cause I know it causes me to immediately close the tab and never go back.
Anyone on Craigslist that adds a bunch of popular words at the bottom of their ad that have nothing to do with they're selling. Seriously dude, if I search for "Mustang", I have ZERO desire for a door for a suburban or wheels for a Civic. If I did, that's what I would've berkleying searched for in the first place!
YES I write down the places with sound making advertizements, and remember NEVER to use their products again, simply for the annoyance of sound. And yes, I typed RX7 into the search area looking for rx7's, not a probe with body kit subs and chrome wheel covers.

How do some posters change the words of the link, yet it still clicks to the intended site? Like changing http://www.youtube.com/whatever33445342 to Click here for awesome explosion and they both go to the same thing?

I know about a hundred thousand people who use IE and can't use Firefox. They all work here. No Firefox in this governement agency.
I use both firefox and IE at home, as there are still a lot of sites that don't work right/look right with Firefox.
And a lot of people here see things as horrible inconveniences that are made necessary by really clueless users and spammers/hackers, database normalization and reporting needs.

The RX7/Probe thing is probably 4chan's fault. They've been convincing everybody for years that the Probe was based on the FD RX7, it's "practically the same car, just FWD."
