I just updated to the latest Firefox!

[Ex-Member]

I have a question. After you download FF, do you uninstall IE or leave it?

Can't uninstall ie. It's an integral part of the OS and required for things like "windows update" to function.

When you get Firefox, get the plugin. There's a few pages I use at work that don't render very well in Firefox, and rather than switching to IE just click the IETab button. Renders the page inside IE inside of a firefox window.

Here's another cool thing you can do. Go to your preferences and you can default multiple tabs for homepages. So mine has ESPN and SnoWest. Put in the address and seperate them by a pipe character "|".

This screen shot is with a Mac, but it doesn't matter.

Hey Mule man....

I'm sure it's faster but it looks boring without all the pretty pictures and other such bandwidth robbing sh!t !

It also kinda looks like an old Commodore 64 !

Thanks for the hint about Firefox. I just downloaded it to my PC also and it is MUCH faster.
I'm stuck with dial-up out here in the sticks and it is noticably faster all around.

I just downloaded firefox yest. Now I have a virus called microsoft antivirus pro. If you get this, it sucks bad. My laptop is ****ed. I was also running avg. It will be in the garbage after this is all over too. I tried to download the virus program from the previous page,(forgot what its called) its not ****in free. Wanted to charge me everywhere I went.

Wow didn't think something like that could help but it did alot. Now I just need to figure my auto hook up for the dial up any ideas.

hahahahaha

glad some good came of my post...

I had firefox on another computer b4 cause it was faster and shortly after I got this computer something funky started happening with IE so I downloaded firefox and it has worked fast and haven't had a single problem with it...

A lot less junk at the head of the page to confuse me too... I like simple, haha

I was a die hard AVG guy, UNTIL I found AVAST free, MUCH better ! ! !

I disagree but they are both good. AVG is rated higher among independent testing facilities.

Does youtube work well with Firefox???

Works perfect. IE8 sucks donkey ballz.

I currently have 32 tabs loaded in 3 separate Firefox windows, still runs smooth as silk.

Chrome just had a new update, way faster too, even faster than firefox i think.

That is a lot of naked midget wrestling.....lol


I upgraded, found a little difference, but not much.. I have used firefox for a while, mostly for tabs and xmarks makes it so much better for using multiple computers.

Only the sweetest browser for mac or PC that you can get! Non of the BS of IE and it kicks butt, plus it is not part of the OS like IE.

Get FireFox

Yep , Firefox Rox !!

The new firefox has porno mode errrrr private browsing (tools < Start private browsing) (no cookies, pop-ups of any kind, history, etc...) which is VERY handy.

On firefox how do you get your bookmarks to open in a new tab? Mine just open in the same tab that I am currently viewing.

Highlight the bookmark and right click and select "open in a new tab".

Maybe there's a learning curve but I didn't like it. I have Charter high speed and it didn't make anything I found faster.

 

[AndrettiDog]

Anytime you are going to click on a link you can hold down the tab key then click the link to open that page in a new tab. Nice for viewing pics.

Hold apple or control, then click. Holding shift will load opposite your current setting... if i apple-click a link, it opens that link in a new tab... apple-shift-click opens it in a new tab but doesn't toggle to that tab.

Middle-click will do the same, with the same shift-key modifier behavior as well.

You really want to see fast try windows 7 with google chrome.
