I finally got brave enough to try it after using Explorer which I learned first. Holy Crap, what a difference in speed!! I have seen the light. Apparently it has an effective pop up blocker too. 8)
8) would'nt use anything else. if you have time go up to tools in firefox go to extensions and check them out lot of good stuff there. welcome to the alterative browser club. :D :D :D
I have found the pop up blocker to be very effective, only let one through once and there was a update available a couple days later. I love the way you can open pages in tabs.
Got an address? After deleting 150pieces of spyware off my machine in the last few days, I'm ready for somthing else...

Enjoy
devo, you beat me to the punch :D :D
sorry! :)
I love the tabbed browsing in Firefox. Being on dialup it is really nice to open a whole whack of pages in tabs and then read them after disconnecting. That's how I read this forum! ;D
I open a few tabs in the morning, ten go make coffee. By the time I get it brewing, I have several pages loaded for reading. As I read, I close tabs, then as I get low on tabs, I open a few more links as tabs so I don't have to wait on them to load. I also replaced Outlook Express (or Lookout Express as my friends call it as you're always looking out for the virus it let in) with Mozilla Thunderbird as my email program.
Oooh, gotta love that Mozilla browser!!!
Must say, I was definately not sorry to see the internut exploder go... (As my brother calls it... and it's alternative is the nutscrape browser... lol)..
Have been useing mozilla for ages, and love it. Also use the Thunderbird email, and it's great too!
Don't hesitate.
asy :D
I havn't tried thunderbird yet but i use Gmail 1000 megs of storage and a good spam killer in it as well. i have several acounts set up and use them for online storage. :)
Welcome all to the Firefox camp. Now if we could just convert the boss. ;D
I cant very well convert my attentions to a browser that is less then 10% of the share of users. Especially when that browser still has incompatiblity with even some old standard stuff. Trying to keep the forum user friendly for that 10% usually takes up 90% of my time trying to add new functions.
Firefox is actually slower on the forum now then I.E. in all my testing.
Ok guys, I see this is gonna be tough. So I guess we'll take whatever we can get,..... and run with it. ;) ;D
Doing a great job boss, no matter what browser you prefer.
cheers
