I don't use it because I don't like the way it handles several webpages at a time.
With MS Internet Explorer, each page is considered as a new document and I can use
Alt + Tab (a shortcut I use very often) to swap (is this the right word?)
between two or more pages.
With FireFox, there's only one button in the task bar and each page is identified
with a tab in FireFox itself. And I can't use Alt + tab the way I use to. I
have to click on the tab with my mouse. Is there a way to change that
behaviour?

That sounds interesting. Can it be used to make a whole web site, or only for
individual pages? Does it handle pages with frames correctly.

I identified that font with a simple copy and paste to a Word document.
