ChAiNz.2da Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Originally posted by jedigoku what lots of things:confused: every thing works for me:p The non-standard HTML codes that Micro$oft so 'politely' gave the industry the finger on Those nice little "name glows" on most forums (here too) are non-standard 'hack-job' codes that are intentionally meant to work on only IE (or lackies thereof).... since over 95% of the browser market is still gripped in IE's hands, no one's bothered to call them on it... Firefox is making a dent in that market share however, so attention has been given to the subject of conforming to a universally accepted HTML Standard Also, many of the browser plug-ins available have been making a shift to accomodate Firefox (or open source browsing rather)... the revolution has begun...
Char Ell Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I generally use Netscape. Sometimes some secure sites I use (banking) don't render so well so I switch to IE. I guess I should try out Firefox since so many think it's a good thing.

RevanA4 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Posted July 19, 2005 ^^^^ yup I get no pop-ups next to no spyware ie my last spyware scan before yesterday was 66 days ago and I only had 7 peices of spyware on my computer

dufflover Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I use IE. I was thinking of Firefox before but I don't have a need to - I don't have a spyware problem. Plus I've been using IE for ages and I didn't like the Netscape format. I did find out about FirefoxIE, a modded version of Firefox which makes it IE like and I might try that eventually, but for now, I don't have a real need to change.
RevanA4 Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 :eek: here I made it easy for all you people that are to lazy to switch I put the link to the download site in my sig:p
Jeff Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Originally posted by THE VIGILANTE I've got IE. Well since you don't sound too unhappy about having it, you probably don't know all the downsides of it. I would do a system scan for viruses and spyware, and I'll bet you have a lot you don't know about. Then you'll switch to firefox.
RevanA4 Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 yup and mesa made it easy for ya to get it just click the link in my sig:cool:
RevanA4 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Posted August 3, 2005 here is an interesting article for all us FireFox users clicky clicky read and be amazed
Bob Lion54 Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Anywho, for Forum Junkies such as ourselves.. this nice little extension gives you a right click menu for BBcode commands... (definitley helps on those long posts) yet another reason to switch to Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...numpg=10&id=491 Just noticed your post. Anyway, this is perfect for the new "Quick Reply" feature. In fact, I quoted you with it!
Commas Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 i use firefox, i don't know how i ever browsed without tabs before, and i honestly don't think i can live without tabbed browsing now. its so frustrating to go over to a friends house who still has IE and try to click links with the mousewheel and nothing happens, so now everytime that happens to me i just say "trust me" and go download firefox to their machine and show them how to use it. I'm like Johnny Webbrowser-Seed. plus, i've had close to zero popups since starting with firefox.

RevanA4 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 this needs to be revived cuz more people have come
TheOssusKeeper Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 I have AOL ISP with IE integrated into it, but now that i have firefox, i think i'll be using it for all my browsing
Hallucination Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 I changed mine from IE to Firefox, and man it really is better.
RevanA4 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 WOOT yet another convert do to this thread
MdKnightR Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I voted Netscape, but I am about to download Firefox and try it out. I have Netscape 7.2 and tried the new version 8 and didn't like it. IMHO, the best browser was Netscape Communicator 4.02, but you can't get that anymore (and it is probably so out of date that most of the new technology would just bog it down). Since Firefox is being produced by the people that made that, I will give it a good try. Any opinions about using Thunderbird alongside it for e-mail? @Commas: Netscape has tabbed browsing too, but I don't like using it.
TheOssusKeeper Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 i don't know anything about thunderbird, i just use hotmail and aol for email
