Which internet browser do you use when using Mylot?

I have tested many different internet browsers when using Mylot and so far I only found one that is stable and works most of the time - Opera and second to that Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or 7. I've had major problems using Mozilla Firefox when using Mylot which I'll explain - but don't get me wrong I love Mozilla Firefox because it meets my needs and more sufficient than Internet Explorer. When I use Opera it speeds up and works well with Java Scripting - if you didn't know Mylot works a lot with Jave especially with some of the links you click and when you start a new discussion and end a discussion after you're done posting it. When I use Mozilla Firefox it is not user friendly in Mylot because the Java Scripting is slow say after I am done with posting a discussion and I click Start Discussion it just sits there for a minute or two or longer for it to sync in. Sometimes it took so long I would have to end the topic and start again. I even installed fasterfox, linky and cooluris to see if that would fix the problem but it didn't. So I just forget it and moved on to Opera. When I use Internet Explorer it runs good like Opera, but I rarely use Internet Explorer and the feature for Jave Scripting is hard to find and sometimes it has it ups and downs to tend to hang. So then again for you Mylot users I recommend using open source browsers like Opera with less complications of dealing with slow downs. If you have experience them share them as well.

I only use internet explorer when I do any browsing online. I have windows XP and it seems to work the best for me. I have never tried to use Opers but I did try to use firefox and didn't like it. It just seemed not to be very compatible with my computer.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.11 and Java v.1.5.14 (because one program I run has issues with v.6). I generally have no problems but occasionally MyLot hangs after pressing 'post response'. I have also had it do this in IE7. My feeling is that it is MyLot's server that is slow.
