Firefox is totally free and AB is AnswerBank (errr, this site !) .... PS I've been using Firefox for several years now and there are very few sites that are unable to run on it. AnswerBank is absolutely fine for me under Firefox.

One of the really useful add-ons for Firefox is Reminder Fox - a great little calendar that I find invaluable.

Firefox is far, far quicker than IE. It's also regarded as more secure (although IE is, reportedly, catching up with Firefox). As part of that security, Firefox deliberately doesn't recognise certain types of coding for web design (because they could be used for malicious purposes). So the 'Refresh' function, on the 'Recent posts' box of this page, won't work with Firefox. (Otherwise, AB loads perfectly well).

Firefox is also far more flexible, with a wide range of add-ons available. It's the browser of choice for most of the 'regulars', here in AB's Technology section.

Assuming that you're in the UK, the download link you need is this one:
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3 .0.10&os=win&lang=en-GB
You'll then get the British English spell-checker built-in by default (but you can add different language dictionaries to any version).

Mozilla Firefox is the very reliable, more secure and very fast web browser rather than others we browsers.
It is free available in net.
