FireFox?

[skoker]

I use IE8 but need to go to FireFox.  Since I don't know it well, is there a way to port all my addresses and passwords over?


NEWB!

What's wrong with IE8? I prefer it over FF actually, especially after moving to W7.

Anyways, when you install FF, I believe it asks you whether you want to move all that stuff over from IE to FF.

IE8 is more CPU intensive and usually pretty slow at loading up website details such as CSS, Javascript and all that. There are benchmarks out there comparing the major browsers and IE8 doesn't do that well.


I'm not sure about passwords, but most other information can be transferred, yes.

Try this Jordan.

I installed all of the 'big name' browsers, lived with each one for a week, and kept the one that pissed me off the least.

I'm running FireFox.

And this was after I had been running IE for 2 years quite happily.

Safari was quite interesting, but just hard for me to get used to.

After reading about problems with IE8, including a conflict with files used in FS, I decided not to install it. I'm quite happy with Firefox which I've been using for a long time with no problems at all.

and it's the most similar to IE

That's because MS included a lot of Firefox features in IE8.

You should just be able to import settings, bookmarks etc straight into Firefox.
I wouldn't use any other browser

I didn't even know something like this existed.


It looks awesome. Will try it but I see a downside is that I can't get Google ToolBar.


EDIT: Never mind...found the toolbar. Time to play with it some more.

Opera 10 FTW. Many IE and FF features were originally from Opera, for example, integrated web search, tabs, zoom, sessions / continued browsing, mouse gestures and perhaps more, like an integrated Mail and chat clients that nothing else has.

...as well as "Internet Explorer 7", and "Mozilla Firefox" on my Desktop, I also have "Opera" as well....

Its interesting to try them all out, now and again, especially if there are any problems with one, or another.... ...!

Mostly, I use Mozilla Firefox...with its useful add-ons*... ...!

What is it?  :-?

Firefox 3.7 You thought Firefox 3.5.4 was fast. This thing will blow your face off!

I don't know how anyone can stand Internet Explorer!  It is the slowest blob of goo on my computer!  Ok, maybe not the slowest, but it is not the fastest. I'm a Firefox user and always will be.
