I currently use IE7 on a pc with Vista.I can't bookmark sites and fancy changing my browser. Any ideas on what works best with vista? I've heard of Firefox and opera. Thanks for any help!

I really like Firefox, it is quicker than IE and seems to be more compatible with websites than Opera.
The tabbed browsing in Firefox is far better than with the others as well.====0 -
Personally I like Firefox, but I'm wondering why you can't bookmark sites in IE7? What is the problem with it?It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends

I prefer Opera (although as d123 said, it can be picky with some websites)
Features I like most about it:
Magic Wand username and password feature (really cant do without it now)
Speed Dial (have your favorite sites laid out in front of you)
Paste and Go
Go to url.
If I could get those features in Firefox I would convert.0 -
I also like being able to go back and forth by pressing Z or X.
Saved me losing and having to re-write emails quite a few times, as it doesn't refresh the page in the same way as IE or Firefox.
Plus being able to clear away your browsing data in two clicks is good too. IE & Firefox have nearly caught up in this respect, but not quite.0
