Well basically its IE with: Tabbed browsing, greater security, more stability, an integrated google search box, a HEAP of extensions and themes downloadable for free,...
Ahh yes, i nearly forgot, Its much faster than IE. Switch! It will only take you ten minutes to decide that you need never return to IE

Hmm...ponder this, I shall. But...I feel like I'm signing over my first-born only to receive a bunch of spam. Not that I've done it or looked at it yet, but that's my gut instinct.

Hmmmn everything

Trust your instincts mr Fett, you know we speak the truth

Then don't trust your instinct, then. In addition to what everyoneelse has mentioned, Firefox has an integrated pop-up blocker, is much more customizable than IE, run fasters and prevents you from having dozens from open IE windows in the system bar, keeping them as organized tabs within one window. It's also a lot safer than IE (not that many security gaps (holes, craters?) as in IE.

Listen to the two webmasters. We speak the truth

Firefox v1.01 is the safest browser on the market at the present time. It has none of the security holes of IE.

Is Firefox more secure than Internet Explorer?

Yes, Firefox and all other Mozilla-based products are more secure. Why? Here is a list of the most important reasons:

* It is not integrated with Windows, which helps prevent viruses and hackers from causing damage if they somehow manage to compromise Firefox.

* There is no support for VBScript and ActiveX, two technologies which are the reasons for many IE security holes.

* No spyware/adware software can automatically install in Firefox just by visiting a web site.

* Firefox doesn't use Microsoft's Java VM, which has a history of more flaws than other Java VMs.

* You have complete control over cookies.

I've been wanting to upgrade from IE to Firefox, though I just can't be bothered.

Using IE is just simpler for me at the moment, no hasles of trying to get use to a new browser and no problems with any sites.

If you do get Firefox, isn't there a bug that makes it slower than other browsers? I could have sworn there was a thread regaurding this issue somewhere, as well as a fix . . .


EDIT: Found it, here

That wasn't a bug, that was a feature to turn on http pipelining, not available in Internet Explorer, it makes your surfing faster because it uses experimental features (which means a lot of websites don't support it). I tried it a little bit, then had to stop using it cause it wasn't working with Gmail.

If you can't be bothered to upgrade, that's ok, but all my websites work fine in Firefox, and here is the direct download, click install, you're done:

I use Firefox and everything displays just fine.

Currently browsing the site in MacOsX with Safari.
The forum looks like crap. There are bright-blue borders and fills everywhere on the table, hat are not visible on my PC at all...


The quoted lines are also blue colored. Even it's background. Strange.

Note that Firefox does have security concerns as well. There's already fixes from 1.02, as well as some other security issues that have not been fixed yet. It is not perfect software, so use common sense when online.

Always have to keep your software updated to be safe - even Windows and IE updates.

Don't know what's going on, but the forums won't load in Firefox today for me. Just asked a friend and he says the same (both on 1.0.1). This is curious because yesterday and the day before I was using FireFox (as usual) and it worked. Today, not so much. Strange thing is they load in IE just fine... anyways, since someone else I know is having the same issues, I was wondering if something changed/happened today.

Nothing I can find. Thanxs for the notice, I received from others as well, so its affecting everyone.

Please fix it soon
I am far too used to Firefox to have to switch by to IE.
I had a chat with Stratus about it to no avail.

Guys internet explorer is better








Just kidding!


Anyway seriously, I use firefox and sometimes I am forced to use Maxthon and both times I access the website I have had no issues.

Whatever it was , it worked itself out the next day. Curious though.
