sweet, i've just made firebird my default browser... its very fast in deed... well it was fast before.. but now.. kick A$$

I too made the switch about a month or so back to Firebird. Usually once a day I'd run Adaware & find 5 or 6 references would be found regarding suspect cookies. Since changing to Firebird that has basically dropped to zero detections. Thanks to there being no further stand-alone IE versions (7.x+ that is, not IE SP2...) looks like I'll have zero reason to change either.
