Which browser you are using?
I like to work with Mozilla Firefox most but i like IE too.
Firefox is (in my opinion) the best web development browser out there. The range of extensions that can help web and graphic designers is amazing.
I only use IE if I really have to (to check if something works properly or what the site will look like on someone’s computer who doesn’t have Firefox).
Although recently I’ve been using Wyzo, a media browser built from the Firefox framework due to recent Firefox updates end in it crashing. Wyzo’s great as it uses all the Firefox extensions too.
Anyway, that’s my two cents on Browsers.
