Mozilla Firefox would be my preference as it's very reliable and less prone to peculiar things happening or "attacks" as many viruses are aimed at exploiting Microsoft products such as Internet explorer. I don't use outlook or thunderbird for email, as at work we have Linux so I use good ol' pine for email and at home I can logon to my work, hotmail or OER email accounts. So I can't comment on which is better for email. The only negative is the odd site is designed for Internet Explorer use so keep IE on hand for those situations.

I use Firefox, 632. With IE, I used to get an error message often which made it close.

I tried Thunderbird for a while but reverted to Outlook Express. Only because I lost the settings and couldn't be bothered setting it up again when I still had Outlook set up. Didn't find either better or worse for my usage.

Firefox, except it doesn't like the AFL stats site and some other sites - change to IE on sites I have problems with.
Outlook for email - don't need to change - it works

I like the new IE version and I'm keeping it.
Had lots of problems with Firefox, getting lots of pages not loading.

I luv the personalised web pages on IE - although I'm having problems putting OER on there.  Can it be done?
