firefox is the goddes, simple as that:)

I'm happy with firefox and i think the tabbing is nifty and i do love the search bar where you can change search engines.

That's what I love the most about Firefox :smug:

Does anyone else experiance slowness when they press the Go menu button?

 

Mine goes all funny.

I dunno. I nearly uninstalled it on sunday as i had 7 trojan horses and then i scanned my computer with spyware doctor and it forund like 400 infected files. Everything seems fine although i've had a couple of pop ups which isn't common for me so i'm not a bit warery.

I use firefox, but the only advantage it has over IE is that there are less people using it and therefore less people bother trying to beat its security. As far as i know the latest IE has tabs now.

I've tried installing the new version twice now, but on each occasion all my bookmarks vanished.

Therefore I've reverted to 1.5 for the time being.;)

IE7 has tabs...

 

...but from what I have seen their 'tabs' are rubbish.

No Firefox = You are a ******

While I prefer Opera over Firefox, because it loads faster in my computer (page rendering, cold start, on a dial-up modem http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html), it (FF) is better than using IE (or IE7 which is bloated) due its known security flaws.

 

I personally tried both Opera and Firefox and decided to keep Opera for the meantime because it works really well and I'm not an extensions kind of person who likes to run it out of the box.

 

Installing FF would be a wise decision.

No Firefox = You are a ******

 

 

Who on earth are you to make such a statement..nOOb..

 

 

 

I used it once..and was flooded with spyware warnings and other nasties..so promptly got rid of it!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well good for you :P

since reading up about it, i've been on the firefox site and i have a few questions.

at the moment i have IE and i really don't know much about browsers etc only that i have great wireless connection lol plain and simple.

so if i change to FF, what problems, however subtle, may occur? i've heard it can interfer with the connection at first or remove your bookmarks, fail to show videos, allow viruses in during the initial start-up etc.

 

basically all i'd like to know is if the change from IE to FF is worth it and those who have made this change from IE, what problems they faced first up. the change will not affect windows XP in any way right? this may seem like really stupid questions, but i'd appreciate it if all you FF users will indulge me :nice: if you can of course.

Firefox is far better than IE

IE 7 is a simple copy of firefox

 

the best part of firefox is that the link bar can be a search bar too

so just typing speed of sound lyrics it will load the 1st page of results of a google search. suberb.

 

and 3 downloads a time, even greater

 

and i had opera and its too slow and complicated

I have currently got IE but i am woundering wether to update to firefox. I have noticed some of you use firefox so all I want to know is whats the difference? Do all the web pages work on firefox? And have you had any problems using firefox?

firefóx=no viruses

firefóx=no viruses

 

Sadly that isn't as true these days.

 

Back in the days of 0.8 when magazines started going about Firefox, when it was a mere baby, it didn't have many viruses written for it, because why bother with something so small?

 

But now it's at 2.1, the market share has increased, so have the virus count. It's like Macs, more and more people are switching to Macs, but soon it will be a case of the virus writers will focus more on Macs.

i've heard it can interfer with the connection at first or remove your bookmarks' date=' fail to show videos, allow viruses in during the initial start-up etc.[/quote']

Never had any problem (just with the Coldplayer, but in that case it's not Firefox's fault as I had some problems with IE too), when installing it usually asks if you want to keep the bookmarks of IE

 

So from me you can only have a positive feedback ;)
