I liked Opera too but I'm using foxfire these days and it's OK for me, touch
wood, fingers crossed etc.

I've been to the Firefox website, searched for all known delay bugs,
asked questions that have not been answered sensibly and not got an
answer. Since Opera does not have the delay bug I will not bother
again with Firefox, and I install Opera on all machines that I
maintain now.

IE is known to have many vulnerabilities so is best avoided.

What speed computer do you have because firefox does have long delays on my
old p3 550MHz, IE is fine though and firefox is normally fine on my dual
core machine.

My computer is around 2500MHz.
The 30 second delay problem that I was having with IE and Firefox
occurred after every half dozen or so clicks on links on many
different web pages. Using Opera or Mozilla fixed the problem. Mozilla
is getting a bit old now but has features that I need.

The new version of mozilla is called seamonkey.
