Title: Firefox? Post by: pauld on Monday, September 19, 2005, 11:31:32 Been using firefox for over a year now and never use IE at all now, except for some dodgy "Web apps" at work which use some of the ropey proprietary features of IE. Top browser, faster, more stable, less "come see my hard drive O you great unwashed of the web" security holes than IE.
Title: Firefox? Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, September 19, 2005, 12:57:48 I've been using it for just under a year now. Tried Opera as well but couldn't get on with that
Title: Firefox? Post by: Spud on Monday, September 19, 2005, 13:00:00 I was going to use Firefox but various computer mags said IE is the better option so ive stuck with it.

Title: Firefox? Post by: Spud on Monday, September 19, 2005, 13:02:09 Nope just various non Microsoft magazines. Ive had no problems with IE so why would i change it?. :-))(

Title: Firefox? Post by: Boeta on Monday, September 19, 2005, 13:09:08 I've had Firefox for a few months now.
Guys like SY and OF have been going on about it for ages. Title: Firefox? Post by: flammableBen on Monday, September 19, 2005, 13:28:04 I like thee funny mousey gesturey plug-iny thing I downloaded for it. If I make a T shape with my mouse it comes to this site. Mega Madness.
Title: Firefox? Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, September 19, 2005, 13:37:39 I use firefox. Haven't noticed it being any quicker at all but I like the tabs. Apart from that it's pretty much the same.
Title: Firefox? Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, September 19, 2005, 14:24:22 geeks make me not want to use it because they list all these gay advantages that I dont care about (being more secure - woo!, faster- I use broadband so it goes at the speed of light whatever i use, more user friendly - I'm browsing the net, it looks the same whatever I do).
but i do like tabbed browsing so I use it anyway. Title: Firefox? Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, September 19, 2005, 15:34:43 Quote from: "Spuddy_STFC" Nope just various non Microsoft magazines. Ive had no problems with IE so why would i change it?. :-))( Give it a try, the only disadvantage I've found is that image heavy webpages take longer to load in Firefox. Title: Firefox?

Title: Firefox? Post by: pumbaa on Monday, September 19, 2005, 16:08:44 I prefer Firefox to IE - less (no) popups & fewer security holes are the two main pro's imho. I don't think its any faster, but who cares on broadband etc.
Title: Firefox? Post by: Rossi on Monday, September 19, 2005, 16:21:32 I use Firefox because IE is crap because you get pikey popups all the time
Title: Firefox? Post by: Spud on Monday, September 19, 2005, 16:24:29 I use IE and its got a Norton Internet security tab that blocks pop-ups and ads.
