What task/s can IE perform better than Firefox or other browsers?

What exactly were you looking for?

Oops, the word “Salt”.

Both searches, in IE and in Firefox,came up with the same result for me. I guess I’d have to see exactly what you’re doing.

I only use IE for certain web sites which were designed and tested only to work with IE, and which mess up using other browsers. Otherwise I avoid using it.

@Dutchess_III I posted this OP not long before I posted permalink another OP, that I found the box.

@Zaku ”...certain web sites which were designed and tested only to work with IE.” Which are those websites?
@Dutchess_III

@flo It varies as people update their web sites. The most recent one was actually the Cinerama ticket vendor web site which would say “please try again in a minute” forever with other browsers, but worked with IE. By sheer coincidence, the Cinerama is owned by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft.

In the past there have been some banking sites I used to use which would only work in IE. Maybe some travel sites, or computer product info / support sites. It’s been pretty rare recently, but sometimes I hit some big corporation’s forms which don’t work right in other browsers, but do in IE. I assume it’s usually because they only tested IE, and the organization effectively doesn’t care enough. I don’t try IE on scruffy sites, because I figure those are more likely to have malicious IE-targeting content.
