I tried, but the screen became blurred (מטושטש) so I switched back to standard. I don't like the blurred effect so much. >> My bank (hapoalim) website does not look good in Firefox and Google >> Chrome. Other websites as well.

No argument, just tell me what you > like about it, or what you dislike about Firefox. The fonts look better with IE. In Gmail, there is a small sign (») when the mail is sent directly to my address. It looks better in IE than in Firefox and Chrome. I also like the sound when pressing links, in Firefox and Chrome it's like being deaf - no sounds. I also entered my website Speedy Composer ( http://www.speedy.net/composer/ ). In IE the website plays music. In Firefox and Chrome I need to install a plugin - Apple Quicktime - and I never install plugins. I hate plugins. And also, Bank Hapoalim website has problems with Firefox and Chrome. So in general I think IE is better. >>>> Sorry, I can't.
