The old Netscape Mozilla brower is not currently supported and support was discontinued in Feb 2008, as I recall.

This poll is for currently supported browsers.

I prefer we don't open "a can of worms" discussing all the unsupported browsers of days gone by

A more tangible reason is: i like Mozillas capability to type text into the address line, press <cursor down> and <ENTER> and it will do a search on these words with my favourite search engine. I also like the "window-oriented" modus operandi of Mozilla better than Firefoxes "tabs-oriented" way. This is just personal taste: i like several windows better than several tabs.

On top of that i use the other parts of the Mozilla browser suite (Mozilla Mail and Address Book - i detest IRC chatting and i write my HTML code in vi) on a common basis, so there is no waste in installing a complete suite instead of a standalone browser.

For IE i have no purpose at all, not even when i have to work on Windows - see here.
