Granted, I am a FF fanboy, but I'll try and be as fair and unbaised as I can...

Firstly, Firefox 2 was simply better than IE6, it did stop more popups, it had tabbed browsing for convenience, etc...
Compared to IE7, sure IE7 now has many of the features FF has and more, including tabbed browsing, better popup blocker support. But if you've actually ever used FF vs. IE7, I think you'd find it's just so much easier. IE7 goes too far with it's attempted protection. Have you noticed it blocks nearly EVERYTHING until you ok it? Any sort of popup window (even one specifically designed for the site) is blocked by that dumb bar at the top until you allow it. Whenever you try and download ANYTHING it's like "Are you sure you want to download this???" Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have clicked it. It prevents interactions with Flash animations until you click on the Flash to activate it. It's just TOO much protection, and therefore, inconvenient.

On the point of Microsoft controlling the internet...
Obviously, Microsoft does not control the internet, and never could, however, they can control what content sites have by implementing code or scripts that only work with IE. Let's just be honest, the less control Microsoft has over our lives, the better.

Finally, on a popular torrent site I occasionally visit for completely legal reasons, a few months back they had a statistic that FF finally beat out IE in percentage of visitors who used it. Therefore, FF is becoming more and more popular, and millions of people can't all be wrong about FF.

It seems to me that you've never even bothered to use FF, and for that reason it's just unfair for you to bash FF, especially over IE. I think if you took the time to get your head out of Microsoft's ass and tried Firefox for even 10 mins you'd just see that you just enjoy it more.

EDIT: I see there you use IE7. Quick question, where's the Menu bar... How would I configure my browser settings, or organize my favorites, or open a new window, or view my history. Defaulting the menu bar as hidden... Clever. Bravo Microsoft.

(Yes I'm aware that it can be displayed, but to hide it away at first is just... dumb. I don't wanna guess what all the little pictures mean, I just want clear, plain, easy to use words on a menu bar....)

If you don't want EA to get any credit, destroy their Refinery. Duh.
