I’m tending to agree with you. If I did not have so many favorites stored with my user id and passwords for my clients....I’d switch to another browser immediately.

One of the things that I hate most about IE8 is that if a window hangs, and if you go into Task Manger to kill it, then IE8 kills ALL of your open windows.
 
In IE6, if you killed a hung window, it killed only the other windows within that instance of the process [child windows and parent windows and whatnot] - but any windows which had been started as a different instance of the process were spared.
 
Or the IE8 bug in the TEXTAREA tag which causes the text [in the TEXTAREA] to jump up and down all over the screen as you are trying to edit the text.
 
Or the IE8 bug in the "View Source" window, which, when the source is copied to Notepad, fails to copy the carriage returns.
 
Or the "IE8" bug on XP which totally hoses your Outlook Express 6 functionality [I spent a LOT of time on that one last week, and almost pulled my hair out].
 
It's little things like that which make me scratch my head and wonder how in Hades the stupid thing ever made it out of R&D, much less regression testing.

You can save your fav list and reload it.

FF will transfer your IDs and passwords from IE.
