8. Opera just made it easier to see..
Firefox wasn't around when I could not see due to early onset cataracts in my 30's. (Netscape & Mozilla didn't overwhelm me.) Opera lets you change font size or to a 'user defined' view on the fly by clicking on an icon on the browser tool-bar, which I don't think that FireFox extensions provide for. (I do know that you can change font sizes by a key board command in FireFox.)

You can turn off ActiveX via IE's Internet Options, as I'm sure you know. Depending on the webpage, I personally use a variety of browsers, although Maxthon is my primary browser. Between its built in controls & Proxomitron, virii's don't worry me too much.One thing that I like abt it is that you can easily create 'groups' which load a set of webpages at one time. There was a FireFox extension to do this, but it was not as intuitive as Maxthon.(I have the benefit of a video card which allows for 2 monitors, so running multiple browsers isn't a big deal.)

Doesn't tabbing (w/o keyboard strokes) require an extension in Firefox?
