Well, I'm a user of Firefox, and I guess I wouldn't agree that Internet Explorer is much much easier to use. It's true that if you're used to File Explorer, then you may prefer using File Explorer to work with your favorites but I don't have any trouble working with Firefox's show all bookmarks applet. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of using Internet Explorer or into using Firefox; I'm just offering another opinion.

The company wants all Internet Explorer users to migrate to its new browser, Microsoft Edge, or we will have to find a working replacement browser (such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). For this reason, I have moved over to the Mozilla product from Internet Explorer for most of my forays on the Internet now. And, hopefully, when Narrator is updated to support braille displays, I can then begin using Microsoft Edge, despite its own shortcomings, as a permanent replacement for Internet Explorer.
