Avant browser is a tab plug in for internet explorer. It's internet explorer, but with tabs. no speed decrease whatsoever. It takes a little configuring to get it to look exactly like internet explorer, but it is doable. I've used it for 2 years now.
And patched internet explorer is just as secure as patched firefox at this point. Firefox has it's own issues now, because hackers are exploiting the fact that people think it is flawless. Internet explorer also has several remaining flaws, but they are not worse than the remaining firefox flaws.

It's a shell program that loads IE with a Tab interface. SO it's kind of both. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

I cannot find spellbound but all the others are nice.
Joph, does your mouse have a scroll wheel that clicks "in"?
Click that on links, and they automatically open in new tabs behind your current one. So you can scroll down the list of new threads in a forum, say, and open each in a new tab with one click.
And that same scroll wheel click will close a tab if you click on the tab itself.
It's also got a cool "find as you type" function you can turn on, where if you're on a webpage (and the cursor isn't inside a text box), you can just start typing a word, and it'll automatically jump to and highlight it.
In addition to what trickybeck said, File -> New Tab.
It's like opening a new window, except you don't open a new window
And kaolin, wtf, XP? Classic style > XP style
also, about it being weird about loading pages, type 'about:config" in your address bar, and fiddle around in there.

Internet Explorer 7.0 is release for beta, and it has tabbed browsing. I personally don't like it, I much prefer Firefox.
Edit: well the link I had doesn't work anymore

Joph check out This thread from awhile back. Couple links and screenshots of eye-pleasing FF add ons and what not. The Gestures extension is great as is the Colorful tabs.
been using FF for a while now.
release 1.5 is out and seems to be a little quicker.
I've heard there is a search extension that connects to the EQ database here on alla's site, but I've been to lazy to mess with it...I could see that as being useful.
You do have to pick only a few extensions to keep loaded all of the time, as it does slow things down a bit.
FF is much nicer for web designers (IMHO) as it more stricly follows CSS standards than IE6. I've had more trouble getting some simple things to show correctly in IE6, I've almost been debating dumping support for it on the pages I write, but too many people view them that have IE6 and I can have everyone (general populous) change.
Once you get used to tabbed browing, you really miss it when it isn't available.
Good Luck!

Regarding FF's ability to load pages, might try this too, but only if you're on broadband (I think I remember you saying you're on dial up somewhere, so this probably isn't helpful in the least).

Someone posted some tips on speeding up page loading in Firefox specifically a month or so ago:
1. Type in "about:config" in the address bar without the quotes.
2. Set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true.
3. Set network.http.pipelining to true.
4. Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true.
5. Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to some nmber around 20 or over. This is what will speed up page loading the most. The higher the number the faster. I will explain. This determines the maximum amount of REQUESTS Firefox can send for any one page. It means that it will send up to some entered number of requests thus, as each one comes in, it will add something more. Note however if you are playing FFXI or any game or downloading anything, this will eat a lot of bandwdth. Mine is set at 30. Average load is 3 or so seconds. I don't mind it.
6. Add a new variable and call it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" without the quotes of course. Make it an integer and set it to 0.
As I said, this will eat bandwidth if you go past around 40 or so depending on how much bandwidth you have in the first place.

Probably because you have been posting very oddly as of late. Have you checked your water for heavy metal contamination recently?

Thanks for the heads up. I've even got mine set to automatically check for updates, but it must have been looking the other way for this one.

Firefox...I used that a while back...I liked it. I think I used it for about a year. But...there's a Memory Leak in it that will strike at the worst times...Got really tired of it, I usually run games like WoW or whatnot in the background while I have browsers open. That just sort of ****** up the gameplay. So I switched to opera. It's like firefox on steroids.

Give it a try if Firefox acts up for you or Avant doesn't work...I couldn't get AvantBrowser to work for ****.
It includes Gestures...Tabbed browsing...You can even close the browser with tabs open and when you reopen it, it will open all the pages you had open before, with all information saved, etc...so it's like "sleeping" the program instead of closing it. My favorite feature, personally.

I've been an IE junkie for years, all other browsers frighten me.
I just updated to 1.5. Careful some of your Extension are not yet compatible. Before FF 1.5 starts for the first time, it will automatically look for you.

Auto Fill doesn't work either. I'll miss that, since I'm incredibly lazy.
Have fun with IE :P
