<---- firefox user for about 3 months now, loves the built in pop up blocker and tabbed browsing

windows SP2 is suppose to take care of all the problems with windows and IE

 

agreed

 

I've been using firefox since its inception, before they changed the name. I'm working up a case against using IE company wide at the moment. Tabbed browsing is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I wrote my own browser using the IE DLL's that allowed tabbed browsing and had a built in popup block as well as a bunch of other stuff, but this code is much better in terms of security so I dumped my IE hack and started using this and like it much better. It gets even better with each revision that comes out..

 

yeah im proud of this since ive been using it since it came out in beta, for anyone who wants to change [for the best]

FireFox kicks ***.

 

i downloaded firefox, i kinda like it but it seems the script that i made for the advirtisments doesn't work with it.

do the banners at the top work for anyone else in firefox?

 

I just dl'd it and the banners no worky worky.

Back to IE for now.

 

Heh, SP2 still wont fix all the vulnerabilities in IE.

The program is just a piece of ----.
