Most of you have probably already heard about Firefox, and those who havent, you dont know what your missing! This rock solid program is amazing, I have never had any problems with it frezing or any thing! You can even download thousands of plug-ins for displaying the weather, playing music and much more, you can even make your own because firefox is developer freindly. You can also get tonnes of themes for your browser, different colours to make it your own. Firefox is also a lot safer to use than Internet Explorer. Spyware ad programs can not install them selves on to Firefox, so you wont get any of those anoying pop-ups. And best of all: Its conpletly free. Mozilla also offers an email program thats much like Outlook.

I have a serious problem with Firefox: the cookies for some sites do not work. In other words, when
I'm logged into a site, like as the admin on my gallery for example, my session ends
immediately. My session behaves normally when I'm logged into my email services, but my cookies
behave really weird in other sites. I have two solutions to this, one drastic and the other not
drastic. I can either format my computer and start from scratch, or I can completely rid of computer
of any traces of Firefox, including ALL history, passwords saved, cookies, and cache. I...

normal usage of a browser with opening and closing of sites. IE8 and Safari both crashed d...
You can access your FireFox cache files by typing this "about:cache?device=disk" into your FF URL
bar There is the cache directory will tell you the directory in which cache is stored, this is not
IE and you'll not be able to browse by going to that directory, because its in encrypted form.
If you want to browse your cache, you're in the page! The about:cache?device=disk is the
disk cache page! browse around in here. This is completely different to what is temporary
internet files in IE. Use the quick find function by pressing / (forward slash) an...

A while back I somehow stumbled upon some Google-run blog, where I saw a post about the quote
unquote Google Browser. It looked interesting, so I downloaded it. After installing it, I found out
that it was pretty much just a Windows version of the command line Lynx browser (any old timers
here?) with a nice installer. It's interesting to browse with Lynx - no images, no JavaScript,
no CSS, just straight out text and form elements. I could barely imagine using Lynx for my
day-to-day browsing. Here's a screenshot of Gmail in Lynx:...

Last year, I downloaded elinks, a text mode browser, but didn't put any serious use into it
until today. Some features that got my attention was QUOTE * It is text mode, meaning I can
run it when X won't start up, over a low bandwidth SSH link, or when I just don't feel like
looking at graphics. * More control over how pages are displayed. I very often don't like the
colour schemes that webmasters think are great, and in elinks, ignoring their choices is as simple
as pressing %. But if I do like the color, it lets me use it! * ECMAScript and ...

Do you use Opera, Firefox, or IE the most? I would have to say Firefox. First, I used IE because it
was standard. Heck, all of us used it. But then, once I found firefox, I was very pleased with the
