Brooke Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) are you talking about the browser? if so, its widely used in the mac community, however i havent downloaded it yet. i make websites, so i have almost every other browser, since i need to test my designs on as many as possible, but foxfire isnt as widely used, so its lower on my list of necessary testing browsers. thats bad though, i should download it NOW lol i do love safari though, i think thats my browser of choice. just try it out, if you dont like it, dont use it.

FoxBansheeRacing Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I'm on it right now. Its pretty much the same thing as IE, but it was screwing up my computer so I switched to this and I havent had a problem with it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Firefox is a great alternative to IE and their email client, Thunderbird, is an excellent alternative to mickeysoft's OE. I'd say if you've tried netscape 6, and like it to some degree, you'll like firefox a lot more. Most browsers outside of IE, (Opera, Netscape, apple's Safari, etc.) are all Mozilla-based browsers. It's just the interface and add-ins (adware/popup controls, etc.) that is different Firefox has the google toolbar built in, so it blocks popups. I'm actually switching to thunderbird from OE... With firefox I think we have a winner in the battle of the browsers, at least in PC-land. -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted October 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I d/l netscape about a month ago and its allready stopped 167 pop ups I use to use netscape back when it was 1.0 or sumthing... It was way better than Explorer back then! I didn't think netscape was really around anymore..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 FireFox is great, has some small bugs with some java and flash based stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted October 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 FireFox is great, has some small bugs with some java and flash based stuff though. I have noticed a few here just trying to use the taglines, gotta make sure they are inplace before typing the message. If you go back to insert a tag it places them at the bottom... see ?

nater006 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Yup, i'm a happy Firefox user since its very first days. I don't have the Internet Exploder option, being a Linux user, but who needs it when you have Firefox? Haven't really given the Windoze version a whirl, but haven't heard any complaints (save for folks not being used to it) from users about it.

nater006 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 http://www.mozilla.com Oh, and to pages that appear to have glitches.. you have to keep in mind that Microsoft has basically distributed all sorts of proprietary web code that work fine with IE -- but not with other browsers. Anything that adheres with the proper W3C standards will show up fine in Firefox. Haven't had any issues though. Microsoft did the same thing with Java... and lost in court to Sun. Hence SP1a for XP... no Java VM. Firefox is good though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
