Mozilla/Firefox is king! The websites I run have statcounters on them and I would say 75% or more of the visitors use some version of it. Only way to go

I use Outlook 2002 and sync it with my hp ipaq 5555. This doesn't really matter to me for email but it does for contacts. Should I still try Thunderbird?
I use Thunderbird for my home email but only use it to manage emails and maintain a very basic contact list. I do like it's filtering ablilities as I always seem to get more junk mail for my home email address.
Given that, if I had to choose between Outlook and Thunderbird for work, I would stick with Outlook (unless it's outlook express).

I use Netcaptor. It has the look and feel of IE, and is based on that code. But it is a tab based browser (which I love) and hasn't suffered the security issues of IE.
www.netcaptor.com They also have a free download. I would stay away from Opera, as it has a number of contentions with certain websites. The ones I found to be most annoying were secure/banking websites.

Another Firefox user here. The pop-up ad supression is a wonderful feature.
I only use IE to access my online banking since the bank's site doesn't support Firefox/Mozilla.

Blocking pop-ups. Tabbed browsing. More secure. More standards-compliant. Available for linux. What's not to like? I've been using it for several years now. -- Opera, that is.
I haven't yet seen a single feature on Firefox that hasn't been available and in service for several years on Opera. Firefox does have the advantage of being open source, but it's not a big enough advantage to tempt me away from Opera.

I've been using Opera for a couple of years now. The only sites I have not been able to use Opera at are Windows Update and Gmail; Gmail uses ActiveX controls, but they are supposed to be adding Mozilla/Opera support soon. My online banking works, every secure website I've visited works, and while I have Firefox on my wife's computers, I prefer Opera.
Great stuff!

At work I use IE because my company's intranet requires it. I don't have the flexibility to use what I like.
I recently installed Opera on my mom and dad's new XP machine, and we discovered that McAffee's anti-virus update process requires IE. If it were me, they would lose my business for that, but we used IE to do the update.
(Of course, I don't need their anti-virus software at all on my linux boxes anyway.)
