Fire Fox

[Mike..]

Heard this program does it all. I use Yahoo as my default web page myself. I've seen it advertised here. Is it worth the change? Enough positive feed back and I may switch to it this evening.

[legoalex2000]

YES!!!!

it includes the following:
>Tabbed browsing, all your internet windows in one task
>enchanced security features
>custom themes (i use black japan)
>it's free,as are the SDK's
>it has a search bar in the right-top side
>all downloads are sent to a downloads menu

need i say more?

Ramos, thanks for the info. Email too?

Pete, Sorry about putting it in the wrong section......again! I'm still learning my way around this great site. I'm working on it sir

If you want a second opinion, then YES.

However, be warned that Microsoft's websites [like the Zone or Windows Update] might not work at all with Fire Fox. But don't worry, you'll still have Internet Explorer [it'll just be dormant on your hard drive].

[Mike..]

Reckon I'll give er a go this evening then. "Black Japan"? What's that look like? That would be cool considering my whole Rig is black. As for the Zone. Don't think i'll need it much or at all once I get the WSP ports open. And as far as MS updater, if I really need to get there I suppose I could just punch in the website and go. Whats a little manual labor in an otherwards automatic PC world

I went to Firefox a while back and I wouldn't use any other browser now! Earlier this week I found a cool trick you can do if you want to save streamed video with it. Cache the page then click on Tools, Page Info then under media you can save the cached file. Great for those little clips of flying footage

this would be the only pictue i have, don't think the quality is that great (of the picture, not the theme )

this also shows you Tabbed Browsing

I've never seen the point in changing. If I did I would probably use Opera.

IE for me, I'm afraid...  ;D

afraid, why? my Ctrl + alt + del 's have reduced by 80% because of Firefox, it's a more stable internet browser.

now i've never tried opera, so i can't vouch for that, but i won't diss it either, i heard it was good.

I've never had to Ctrl+alt+del IE. It crashes every now and then but I think thats more to to with the website than the browser.

Having used both Opera & Firefox, also, Netscape & I.E. I now just use Firefox.

Better by far.

[WebbPA]

Is there anyone that doesn't use Firefox?

Get into the 21st century.

[Politically Incorrect]

Faster, safer, more stable, totally customizeable, etc.
Why would you not want to use it?

Like mentioned above some "IE" only sites may not work well Windows Update for example but you can use IE for that

[commoner]

....Yes get Firefox...it's a treat to use with all sorts of extensions and themes..........I'm a SuperGnome myself but lots of choice..........commoner.
