Firefox! I'm in love

[UNCLEagent]

Although it had been recommended years ago - only now - after complete disgust and frustration with Windows Vista, did I download Firefox 2.0....

I never felt I needed it when I was using Explorer and XP.

Now - WOW!!!!!!!

What an incredible NOTICEABLE difference in browsing speed!!! Pages are downloading so much faster!!!

I'm not a techie - but I swear by the promises of Firefox. I'm only on day one here with it. I'd like to see how it holds up in the weeks to come.

I did some online reading today, comparing the two browsers. Based on the objective reporting alone, I cannot believe Explorer is even on the marketplace anymore.

The only downside is to get it to work you must think in Russian.

:D i like it better too, my only frustration was that I cant figure out how to keep pages in the address bar history so I can get to them easier the next time I visit without typing in the URL again.... and i'm using IE on XP too.

IE is junk but its like McDonalds... junk is junk but we still eat it up.:D

I love firefox... IE just doesn't do it for me, but I have not noticed a huge difference in browsing speeds.

It's ok.... I got it.

It's taken some time, I only grabbed Firefox becuase I specifically needed it for an application.

Now I am Soooooo hooked. IE just seems like such a piece of shiznit now that I am using Firefox for everything.

I have to use IE when signed into my work network, sucks.

It's so great to have you back.

[Kaeos]

Thx :lol:

I've been using Firefox for five or so years and I don't know why anyone would go back to IE. I know, it's JUST a browser but when IE wasn't yet cribbing ideas from Firefox (tabbing, etcetera) I love customization and all the add-ons that I can heap on it.

Anyway, definitely get Adblock Plus as an add-on (with filterset.g). I use a couple of interesting add-ons like Distrust, which erases your surfing trails from your browser. Gspace, which converts Gmail into a file storage HD. Mouse gestures. Download Helper which makes it easy to download imbedded movie files on youtube and other video sites as FLV files.

Bokchoi... it is good to have you back but you might want to fix the poster and spell Kaeos with an "E"...just a thought... he's weird like that.

[Bokchoi Cowboy]

Fixed

[mckracken]

it was fixed BokChoi... now it went back to the way it was the first time... KAOS.
bummer dude.

Just got it. I had no idea. I stopped going to a bunch of sites because you had to wait forever to do stuff. This is great. Thx. N:)

Uh - oh.

Bad discovery.

First, I downloaded Firefox and noticed a huge difference in page download speeds.

I also noticed tha obnoxious stupid banners weren't popping up all over the place, especially on Yahoo and Livejournal.

What a sweet benny, I thought.

Then, I tried to open Traz's 'holiday' gift. I was given a prompt that I first needed to download Adobe Flash. No prob, I think.

Now that Flash is integrated with my FF, all these damnable animated banners and idiotic advertisements are slowing my FF browsing right back to where I was with IE.

Fucking advertising.

Fucking Capitalism.

Fucking Capitalism.

Yeah. I mentioned that you need to get: Adblock Plus as an add-on (with filterset.g). They're two different add-ons. Go to tools and then to add-ons, then click on get extensions, and you just have to search for it. You will not see 99.9 percent of the ads.

[UNCLEagent]

WOW!

It works!!!!

THANKS!!!!!
