Mozilla
Still not safe then?
Alternative browsers such as Mozilla or Netscape may not protect users, the agency warned, if those browsers invoke ActiveX control or HTML rendering engines.

Whatever you define 'safe' as, then if your using Mozilla your really no safer than IE.

Ahh but you have to admit Mozilla has better pop up killers, spyware blocking etc... and is genrally better than I.E
I've used Mozilla in the past and found it unreliable and generally a pain in the arse on my system.
I've got a pop-up killer and Ad-Aware as well as good Anti-Virus and Firewall - I'm fine using IE.

One thing mozilla does do is mess up the code on thesite and all the buttons disapear or the reply box is half size..:(
but I do like it.. mainly because the other tab option :D that is a featrure I.E could do with :)

The profile button is there for me and I use firefox. Mind you, the reply box is half the size but that's because mozilla is a 'stricter' browser and doesn't interpret bad web page coding unlike IE, which in doing so encourages more dodgy coding.

I'm using Netscape, and I just disabled scripting. I haven't seen any buttons disappearing, but the text box is half-size.

Any browser that uses Active X and Javascript are prone to attacks. I disable Active X and and sometime Javascript on Firefox.
Remeber to downloads security updates for any browser.

Just change the HTML width then. If you dunno how to do it see the Mozilla help forums.
