Yeah yeah, I know you prefer Firefox, but since people do still use IE, thought I'd mention the bugs I've noticed since I upgraded from IE7 (using compatibility mode does cure them but still, if you're doing any changes anytime it's worth knowing about ):
- When using menus it doesn't highlight as you mouseover each option any more, only when you click on one.
- The tabs on your profile page (Characters, WR Update, Friends) got indented a bit compared to IE7, looks a bit odd.
- Census DB stats page, the top batch of info is no longer centered.
- Tabs on battlegrounds page are shifted to the right a bit, same as on profile page.
All pretty minor, only really annoying one to me is the lack of menu highlights, but thought it worth mentioning  _________________ EU-Draenor:

I got IE8 to see whats its about. The InPrivate thing seems rather interesting could be configured as an adblock feature if you add all the filters in for each site, good thing there are lists like EasyList for ABP addon for Firefox.
But otherwise.... I still use Firefox for everything. _________________

| Yeah, I haven't upgraded to IE8 just yet. I may go ahead and do it on the laptop so I can squash these new buggies |

LOL I stopped using IE since it is slower than a snail. Now use Chrome which is 390% faster than IE 8 and 500% faster than IE 7. Now still use Firefox some but it is also slower than chrome but only 40% slower. Mostly use Firefox if wanting to avoid ads on a site. Example WoW forums which are packed with ads. (adblock plus)
