Do you Firefox?

[jackal70058]

Anyone here use Firefox? I know few you do because you have buttons in your signature line. I downloaded it because people say it better than Internet Explorer the one I used. I installed and just to try it out and uninstall but I actually like it!

[stiltman]

IE all the way

BTW, Might want to check your signature script. It says I'm in Asia, but I'm not

[SLICK RICK]

Yes.

[makntraks]

Of course!

It is the only browser I use.

Firefox - Don't browse the web without it.

[shelbyGT]

i clicked IE just cuz I tend to use it more than firefox. I have both installed, but I guess old habits die hard, or whatever that saying is.

[Faustus]

I like Safari, but when not on my Mac (My pc or my work box) Firefox all the way. IE blows.

IE is like screwing hookers without a condom.

That is a cry for spyware.

Hello,

No worries bazooka - I have sp2 with the firewall.

AND I run adaware almost once a day

(plus I update norton once a week or so )

[housepig]

not Firefox, but Mozilla 1.7 (I'm too used to the tab layout in Moz, everytime I go to close a tab in FF I end up opening a new one!)

[lordsmurf]

Agreed.

IE is for safe sites only.
Firefox is for "surfing"

A week ago, I finally downloaded Firefox.

I like it and I don't like it. There are some annoying things about it- like the black traced line around boxes on Videohelp. And that it is hard to open thumbnails with it.

I would say I now use Firefox 60%, IE 40%.

IE is slightly better designed browser IMHO. But since everybody is raving about its security, I tend to use Firefox more.

[richdvd]

IE all they way.
Firefox reminds me too much of Netscape and I really dislike Netscape.

I agree.

[bazooka]

The strength of FF is the extensions, like the ability to block and remove annoying flash ads.

[richdvd]

Been using IE since Day 1.
Got used to it....and it's never given me any trouble. I always do the critical updates and run Spybot regularly. If problems start to arise then I MAY switch, otherwise no.

[budz]

I've used Firefox since reading about it here.....I don't get spyware while surfing the net....but the moment I open up IE which isn't much now days, I end up getting tons of spyware....With Firefox I don't get any spyware....I also use Firefox while ordering online stuff from like newegg.com.

[Conquest10]

IE is slightly better designed browser IMHO.

How so? I love my Firefox and custom themes (even though my favorite never made it past version... the one before 1). Works better with sites done with CSS. IE completely f(*&s uo with some sites.

I agree.

I use the sky-pilot classic theme, with helpful extensions like ad-block, nuke anything, and so on.

Don't like Firefox on windows, it just feels slow to me. Browsing is split 50/50 between IE and Opera.

On linux, I dislike Firefox even more. It's just as slow, and the start up time takes too f'n long. So I use Opera.

Spyware, addware, malware, viri. I don't worry about them at all. I only visit a few websites, mostly forums and .edu, .gov sites. I have google's toolbar installed with pop up blocker. It's blocked 42 pops in 18 months. 40 of them are from www.cdfreaks.com I belive.

[shelbyGT]

My google toolbar has like 3000 blocked in about 2 years or whenever I first installed it. I think most of those are from, um, adult websites?

But I use mostly IE and don't have any spyware, et cetera. Simply using IE doesn't guarantee it will happen.

[HatchetMan]

IE after installing XP SP2 is tha bomb (best popup blocker I've used). I hadn't even heard of Firefox until now.

[Faustus]

AND I run adaware almost once a day

Hrm... I installed firefox. I run Adaware every few months just in case.

edit: actually this thread made me check. I just installed Adaware for the first time since I formatted this machine about 6 months ago. The result? Removed a few tracking cookies.

[jimmalenko]

Ditto.

[vitualis]

I hated Netscape Navigator too...

However, Firefox is SO much better than IE 6 (even with SP2) in so many ways.

Firefox + Adblock (extension) --> No more adds anywhere!

Regards.

So you're telling me as a MOD you're not supporting this site with the ads?

[vitualis]

In any case, my link goes straight to the forums... no ads in sight (even with IE).

Regards.

[Cobra]

Plus, members do not view ads on VideoHelp. As long as you are signed in, you don't see them.

I changed to FIrefox when I cleaned my PC and stuck on XP Pro. Have to say I am more than impressed. I am still undecided about their mail program because of my pst file form Outlook and e-mails i want to keep but I am still trying. I would change to Linux as well if I could get the bloody internet to work for me. Still trying tho.......
