FIREFOX is great!!!!! I even installed it at work. My favorite feature is the tabs. I get alot less pop ups as well. Plus it is noticeably faster.

Ive always wanted to install it on my PC, but I just don't know how to go about doing it. Would I delete my existing internet explorer? Any information on what to do would be apprecaited! Also where can I get firefox and is it free?

www.mozilla.com and Download Firefox!

I love the Tabbed browsing and the spell checker! I have used mozilla for a few years now and have learned to HATE IE!

Your the first person that I've ever heard of that didn't like Firefox over IE.

Did you even give it a chance?

It's great. The only time I use IE is when I do my online banking. My bank requires IE:o Other than that I'm a Firefix devotee.

tried it, like it.. especially the download manager..

but since i already have IE7 and itll take additional space for archives etc. i wont be using it on my main computer.. but any of the older OS pc's I have will be using it..

for anyone that still has WIN98se and WINME, its definitely a step up from IE6..

i had firefox for like a month and i hated it. i gave it a pretty good run and tried it out but i didnt like it. it was always hanging up and not responding, i uninstalled and then reinstalled and still the same so thinking it it might be my computer i cleaned it and checked for errors and made sure it was good to go but still the same thing. so i will be using IE, mozilla didnt work for me.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/ShiftFMX/Mozilla.jpg Is there any way to change the color of the windows theme, like where it has the clock, the start button, all that and at the top where it says the name of the web site you are visiting...i dont like the green start button, and the 3 colors windows only gave you,, i want a red or something thanks

03-08-2007, 05:43 PM

Opera 9 Beta is the best internet browser hands down. download it, garunteed <3 lol. you can have side tabs and after you learn all the features its amazing...

Initially going to Firefox was a toss up for me because I like IE6 but I went with Mozilla for security. I then downloaded the IE7 update and I think it's horrible. I hate the button layout and just don't like the look. I'm lovin' Firefox 2.0, it's streamlined and fast as all get-out.

I def. recommend Ad block Plus, Fire FTP, Foxy Tunes, Web developer and I've got another one, I'm not sure what it's called it checks your grammar, punctuation and all that.

I've only had it for about 1 hour and love it! Probably the best thing I've downloaded besides LimeWire...lol

03-08-2007, 07:09 PM

I had it for like 1 year now but recently it freezes up every 20 seconds or so and it always goes non responsive. I can't figure out how to fix it so I guess im stuck with IE7 and not happy with it.

guy,
you do know that you can get a plugin for firefox that lets you use internet explorer inside of firefox. Not quite sure how it works, but microsoft falls for it... so why not?? haha
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/

ive been using firefox for what seems like ever now... I absolutely love it

i am using foxy tunes, ie tab and... i think thats it

dang i love vista's snipping tool...
sorry for the crappy handwriting.. i hate using the touch pad...

ShiftFMX isn't using vista, hes using xp. right click on your desktop, properties, appearence, and then you can change your color scheme to green, blue or silver...;)

I love FF. The only time I use IE is when the site isn't compatible with FF.

I've been using FF for at least a year now and have the new 2.0. I do have one issue. Certain media players won't work. It comes back and says it needs a plug in. So I try and do the auto search and it says there are none available. So now what? Any ideas?
