Whohoooooo!
Since I used firefox I never had any problems with popups, especially those that come in tens. and most especially my websites. I had to put a lot of effort into making it look like I wanted to in IE.
Right now I'm having an easier time with firefox.

Heh congrats to firefox as I have used it for about a month now and am completely enjoying it. I use it over IE completely and pretty much every single website I visit is supported by firefox

Tabbed browsing, security patches, etc coming to IE soon. Don't waste your time coding for two browsers.

Well if the IE development team have done their job properly and stuck to the W3C standards, then we won't have to code for two different browsers, cos IE should function exactly like FF already does. tongue.gif
Oh, and good on IE too for coming with all those ideas by themselves. rolleyes.gif

Firefox, or firebird since i was using it was better than ie for as long as i know. Nobody needed to push me to use it and i don't push anyone else to use it; they can use whatever they want as they'll have to find out what's better themselves. I remember the days of ie when i had to use crummy popupblockers to pop my popups, i had spyware and all this install plugin activex things that automatically install it was really annoying and really knocked me up. I hated the cluttered taskbars and the grouping of windows (sometimes open as new window is good in firefox but i hardly need it) and firefox's tabs and other fucntions like adblock and the weather plugin really complete me. I used to be dumb and was scared to try out a new browser thinking my internet woulad not work, pff. The day i tried out mozilla (i used moz before the bird/fox) was probably the best day of my browsing history, i had also tried out netscape on which mozilla is based but i found it to be too big, slow and it gave me all this aol crap which i didnt need, stillit beats internet explorer.

Firefox has come a long way since it's original name (Which I don't even remember). I'm using Fireofx to type this message and I will never be able to go back to Internet Explorer.

Yay! Go Firefox! Ever since my friend recommended it to me, my stressful moments when IE crashed on me, or when it slowly loaded pages are gone. Now I have this useful browser that could do what I want and even better! Sure, it still has some problems, but it's pretty obvious that it'll outshine and outdo IE someday.

*gives a cake to the fox*

Oh, what fond memories I had with you... laugh.gif

    No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite
    having no huge features, was a great update. Version 3, however, totally messes everything up. Its
    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history

    Well as we get closer and closer the release of Firefox 3.0, mozilla comes out with Alpha 8. In
    this update it is security rich this time as they bring in anti-malware warnings and protection
    against rogue extension updates. They also beefed up the security to the extension auto updates to
    help prevent people from redirecting you to malicious sites because of the way the auto update
    works. This time they have set it up in a way that it checks the url of the installation manifest
    and makes sure its the correct one or it doesn't get updated. QUOTE "Firefox aut....

    it out considering i needed it anyways to test out my websites. I got the iFox Smooth skin also to

    is also a major change when rendering web sites: The text is anti-aliased. Personall....
