| 664216 | 2008-04-30 07:07:00 | Personally, I just don't like Firefox because of the creators smuggness that the made a brower that is better than IE (or so they think) Opera is much better, but I personally use IE 7 equipped with IE 7 Pro. I sometimes use Opera because I like the skins. FF is quite a good browser, but only beacuse they have alot of people making add ons for it. P.S More and more sites are blocking FF because it has an ad blocker! So don't use ad blockers. Anyway, you can get ad blockers for IE, try IE Pro, lets you do mouse gestures and restore crashed sessions and other stuff. |

Sites that try and force you to use what they want can go to hell. |

| 664218 | 2008-04-30 07:19:00 | I think that you are the minority if you are having problems with FF. I have been using FF for a couple of years with no problems :) | LiquidSolidity (1589) | ||
| 664219 | 2008-04-30 08:34:00 | Any one using Firefox get this add-on, it has only just become available as a separate extension used to be included exclusively on Netscape (Firefox skinned and a few extras) but could not be put onto normal Firefox, well now it can be since Netscape demise, it's one of the best extensions I know and the reason why I used the Netscape browser: addons.mozilla.org This one is very good as well: addons.mozilla.org |

| 664220 | 2008-04-30 08:38:00 | As for bookmarks, sometimes I get my full (extensive) menu, and other times I get a short version and have to go to IE to get what I want. Familiarity is always helpful, but I've had many more frustrations in a day with FF that I would have in a year of IE. Let the fox fur fly................ Cheers Billy 8-{) :mad: Have you tried SeaMonkey? I find it the better of the lot! Tried FF (2) on my partners computer today and had some difficulty to set the popup blocking.It might just be me. So or so I never quite liked the FF , so I'll stay with SM NT |

| 664221 | 2008-04-30 08:42:00 | I use both IE7 and FF, whatever suits my purpose. I didn't clog FF with heaps of add ons. Mr Marnie prefers FF, but occasionally uses IE7. |

| 664222 | 2008-04-30 09:47:00 | Man, IE7 is just unusable. The delay when opening new, blank tabs! Anyway, I'd do what wrattreus said because it definitely won't make it worse. Get FF3 Beta 5 and see all the amazing stuff that they have done. Its a lot more responsive, looks better and has lots of new features. Can't be beat. www.mozilla.com |
