| 699451 | 2008-08-22 19:44:00 | Well, right now, I've gone back to IE 7, using Roboform . So it saves me typing in my usernames / passwords all the time . And IE7 Pro, to block the ads . And I've added shortcut keys to the sites I visit, which saves me going through the menu, to select whatever site . I've tried FF 3 . 01, its still not good enough . On some / or most sites, where there's a menu, click on it, (when you move the mouse, (Example, click on the menus in FF, you'll see what I mean) ( . edencomputers . co . nz/c . aspx" target="_blank">www . edencomputers . co . nz) its meant to close (it doesnt it stays open) . This doesnt happen in Opera, or IE . Move the mouse it closes . You have to refresh the page, for it to disappear in FF . Installed Opera 9 . 52 last night (which has just come out), thats no better . Some sites took ages to load, sometimes, you had to press enter 2-3 times to get it to load whatever site . And it started hanging . |

| 699452 | 2008-08-22 20:09:00 | think you got a bum install of ff. No more internet exploder for me. | wotz (335) | ||
| 699453 | 2008-08-22 20:12:00 | Umm no its happened with every version of FF I've installed, not just 3.01. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 699454 | 2008-08-22 20:33:00 | Agree with that Speedy, there has been a lot of hype about Firefox when actually IE7 is a good browser. Safari is still the fastest browser though but if I can't use that I prefer to use IE7 rather than Firefox. I know several people who have had problems with Firefox and rather than going back to IE have started using Safari with good results. |

| 699455 | 2008-08-22 20:45:00 | I'm sticking with Firefox. It's just a minor annoyance in an otherwise perfect browser. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 699456 | 2008-08-22 21:21:00 | I've had problems with mouse-over menus hiding behind the flash graphic banner making it a challenge to select a particular item . :rolleyes: I just put it down to bad website design/coding . :badpc: |

| 699457 | 2008-08-22 21:44:00 | I thought it was bad coding too . BUT, then it would happen in Opera and IE . It doesnt |

| 699458 | 2008-08-22 22:17:00 | IE7 still doesn't provide sufficient conformance with web standards to be considered an acceptable browser, in my opinion. If you're having problems with Firefox, I suspect it might be a dodgy extension... or maybe just a dodgy operating system... :) | dlane (11847) | ||
| 699459 | 2008-08-22 22:23:00 | If you're having problems with Firefox, I suspect it might be a dodgy extension... or maybe just a dodgy operating system... :)Yeah, well I run Fedora 9, so that must be it. ;) | Jen (38) | ||
| 699460 | 2008-08-22 22:25:00 | Well no its not dodgy . And there were only 2 addons installed for FF (Adblock/Flashblock) . If it happened with other browsers, then I would blame the sites . But its fine with other browsers I'm not too worried about web standards, just as long as the browser works properly . I dont care what browser I use |
