Your reasons not to use M$IE

are quite valid indeed
I'm a bit more demanding than you as I actually never used IE, except for M$-crippled pages. Been using Opera for a couple of years, but the ad-free version is not that cheap (have paid for the one I'm using at home) and I don't want to register the browser I'm using at work (the corporate standard being IE) so I was trying FF. The only (moderate) unpleasantness I was experiencing is gone now
