I use Firefox quite a bit, but it has no 'compatibility view' like IE, so I have to switch back and forth for some websites.

Thanks for the comment Mentalist. Id does make the task a lot easier.
I've been using Firefox for about 7 or 8 years. I previously used AOL and IE and you can probably imagine the problems I had. So, I dropped AOL and switched to Firefox, haven't looked back since. Best browser there is, hands down. Nice hub.
