I don't think here ever said that IE was *better*, just that it was necessary for certain sites (which is undeniably true) and that if all you have available is Firefox then you at least want to have a working stable Firefox. It does seem to boil down the the flash issue though - for me native Firefox is stable, until I try and add flash. So I live without flash, but that measn there are a number of things I just can't do, as well as the IE only sites (which are becomming rare). In the end I bundle any such jobs up and do them at home where I keep an x64-XP box for such things. If the most stable flash enabled player on FreeBSD is linux-firefox 1.5 then it would be nice to have it in ports. -pete.
