Is FF an 'alternative browser'?



2010  	       IE8  	IE7  	IE6  	Firefox  	Chrome  	Safari  	Opera
February 	14.7% 	11.0% 	9.6% 	46.5% 	11.6% 	3.8% 	2.1%
January 	14.3% 	11.7% 	10.2% 	46.3% 	10.8% 	3.7% 	2.2%
(according to http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp)


I suspect FF usage is higher amongst IT folks who 'know better' or just want features like oh say perhaps not clicking thru 2340932098709 steps to enable and disable proxy settings? (thanks to QuickProxy FF add on).

After much frustration, I chose to give alternative browsers a go.

Indeed, Apple's Safari works "normally" with www.cisco.com. 
I haven't yet tried Google's Chrome, but there is a "physical" difference in performance between Firefox and Safari, a difference that is network independent.

A little search brought this up:

I would really like to spin cycles troubleshooting this, but I just don't have the time. This stuff should just work - between Cisco and Mozilla, one hopes for a solution.

For now, Safari it is (I'm running OS X 10.6.3).

Cheers,

Mark.
