Internet browser questions?

Have IE 7.... heard bad things about IE8. Getting a lot off error messages lately and browser just shutting down... Especially during gaming. Looking into new web browsers..(ex... opera , firefox, etc) , I don't want to lose my favorites off IE... How different will my status bar be ^up at the top where my yahoo toolbar is on different browsers? Would i still be able to get a yahoo toolbars on the others? I have never used a different browser. If I don't like it will i be able to switch back without much difficulty?

    During install firefox will ask you if you want to import settings from IE, just select that option and when it starts all your favs and bookmarks will be there. It does nothing to the IE install so that will still be available if you need it. You will just have the option to use either browser. I think you will stay with Firefox once you learn the minor differences;)

    I had that same problem Internet Exploder (Explorer) keeps freezing and drives me nuts. BUT I love my Yahoo tool bar and favorites because. But if you go to another browser you loose being able to use most of your tool bars. I have Norton 360 and one of the things I like best is an option of saving cards for every site i go to, it saves my user name and password but the feature is password protected. And it only works on IE so I am stuck with it. But I got IE 8 and it's not that bad!!!!

    IE8 is better. If u will go to any another browser,you will lose the browsing speed. IE's are fastest browser.

    If you will go to another one, than firefox is good but slow.
