Though Mozilla may not be a microsoft killer it is surely going to be a IE killer. The process has already started and unless IE improves itself significantly nothing its gonna be no where. The customizability and safety of MF is far greater than IE has. Not to forget Opera too. My rating would be: 1. Firefox 2. Opera 3. IE(or should I say avant?)

Very true! Thanks Prashant, for your invaluable attempt at educating the folks at Rediff. To call Firefox (a browser that survives more or less on support) a Microsoft killer (a company with a market capitalization of around US $ 300 billion) is not only foolish but also stinks of ignorance. You've kinda hit the nail on the head. While Opera still struggles to increase its market share to 15%, Firefox still faces problems with its memory footprint. Though I personally prefer Firefox to IE (Opera is way behind to be even considered), Firefox is a bad choice for any operating business model. After years of attempting to make their LMSs compatible with Firefox and Opera, scores of frustrated LMS developers will tell you why IE is more often than not the *only* choice for developers and end users.
