FIREFOX - THE BEST WEB BROWSER

[lucasbuck]

Best browser I've used. Virtually no pop ups :thumbs:

Yep, I installed it a few months ago when Triple_D had posted a link that was okay for him (since he was smart enough to use Mozilla) but wreaked havoc with my IE.

Rod posted "Oh you must have been using IE " and then a few of you told me about Mozilla Firefox which I now use.

One of my computers is infected so badly with viruses, that IE won't even work anymore, so FINE Microsoft, you wanna push a product that is a piece of crap, then we won't use it.

My "Conspiracy Theory" side of me says that Microsoft is in kahoots with these scumbag companies that design the pop-ups because with IE on my computer that runs Windows98, I have NO PROBLEMS but on both of my computers with WindowsXP, all I get is BS.

Problem solved with Mozilla Firefox :thumbs:

I heard a news story on the radio yesterday about te 13% number that Rod quoted. It will only go higher :thumbs:

Screw you Microsoft :angry:

Unfortunately if you remove IE, you won't be able to use windows. :angry:

That would be a good thing!

Currently using 0.9.3 which I think was a bata version. Had a couple of annoying bugs but downloading latest as I type to see if they fixed them.

One thing I miss was the Control-ALT- short key that created a new window. Problem is the new window is my home page instead of a copy of the last source page.

Ahh...an extension to an open source project...nothing is more pure but inevidably bugged and error prone.

I like Firefox, I would never dload skins/extensions...

Edit: Actually Seizure that is probally a very usefull plugin, too bad it's not compatible with Firefox 1.0

Thanks for the link, I always wondered about trying this.

Ok, the FireFox is tempting me but I am somewhat concerned about it disturbing the internet features from Earthlink. Does anyone know if it will have any negative affects? I do not know enough about this stuff and am leary of screwing the computer up.

I've been with 3 ISPs since I installed Firefox, 2 dial-ups and one high-speed (cable). The browser has had no problems with any of them. Change the access and SMTP/POP settings as required and off you go.

Highly recommended, Phillip. :thumbs: Thunderbird, on the other hand, while nice and uncluttered, I still don't like as much as Eudora. Don't even mention Outlook.

Just downloaded it! We'll see - has to be better than IE.

Was our bubble just burst?

Microsoft awakes to squash the Firefox bug? Story here

 

[Lumberg]

like the article said, if IE 7 has tabs bye bye firefox, netscape, etc

I stopped using FF cos it was a pain. CrazyBrowser.

Interesting story. Sounds too sided to me. There will always be die hard Microsoft fans. There were a few false statements in that story, so I don't give the author much credit. Firefox crashses everytime a pdf is opened? Come on, someone doesn't know how to use a computer.

Couldn't have said it better myself:

Just switched to Firefox and it's already much better then IE.

 

[junkman_56]

I use Opera at home, it is great.

I like MyIE2 aka Maxthon.

But Firefox isnt bad at all.

Try Avant Browser. It has all the bells and whistles that mozilla has. I Love the auto refresh feature, which I don't think mozilla has.

I never liked firefox for some reason... some pages just dont resolve properly..

I currently use IE7 and am happy with it.

I never have had any problems with IE, but my PC is pretty locked down and I run a 64 bit operating system.

 

[Rob_k]

been on the firefox bandwagon for a while now, version 1.5 is the shiz...

IE is total garbage. I use FF but personally I feel anything is better than IE.
