FireFox - Why I don't use it... - GoFuckYourself.com

I have no fucking clue. I was reading This Thread and thinking that IE7 was cool... for now. But I have always liked FireFox, just never used it on a regular basis. The functionality when using Plug-Ins like these is endless. I think I may try to switch.

I switched to Firefox just for reading GFY and other forums because a Ctrl + keystroke (or two) instantly enlarges the text size without distorting the page layout (usually), and makes text much more readable on my WUXGA 1920 x 1200 laptop screen with tiny print.

HeadPimp · 03-27-2007, 08:13 AM

I run IE, Firefox and even Opera from time to time.

V_RocKs · 03-27-2007, 08:14 AM

IE7 is ghey...

axel77 · 03-27-2007, 08:14 AM

Firefox is better, it catch so many trojans etc...More safe..

Orfeux · 03-27-2007, 08:16 AM

IE7 sucks!!!

Sarah_Jayne · 03-27-2007, 08:39 AM

I was a Netscape user for ages until I couldn't use it anymore. I hated having to use IE and firefox feels like netscape again. So, Firefox is where I stay.

i like firefox and use it most of the time.
just uploaded a new add on to it called cooliris. lets you view entire sites within the old site just by having your mouse over the link. it even lets you interact within the new site and use it.
very cool tool.

shekinah · 03-27-2007, 09:17 AM

I love using firefox for it helps me to view different sites at once..

Murderous · 03-27-2007, 11:42 AM

I used to always use FF on my Macs, but since being on PC I just stuck with IE. For the record I miss both my Macs

You do understand that if FF and Macs had a larger share of the market then hackers would actually bother with them. I wish FF would be at least 40% of the market or more so you freaks would realize it isn't all the shit compared to IE and Opera.

firefox still has a nasty memory leak.

These guy probably al have 4 GB of RAM so why should they care. Probably any slowdown on thier computer they blame Microsoft not FF. FireFox is a god. To question it's greatness is to invite death upon you.

yes you are right.
Microsoft takes the brunt of that stuff because they are the most common operating system and browser.
I like Microsoft people, they take the heat for the rest of us.
you guys are brave.

gonna upgrade to Vista are you?

Yes most common. Hmmm Linux has been free forever and easily downloadable yet cannot make any headway in usage.

FireFox supposedly so much superior, also free and easily downloadable yet is stuck at 15% of the browser market.

Think about that. There has to be a reason.

Well I'm not going to get an overpriced Mac that I'll never be able to upgrade much nor will I be using Linux.

Of course there is a reason, 85% of the people are too stupid to know any better... most popular is often not the best...

Not sure when they got stuck but they have moved from 0-1% to 15% pretty fast imo.

One of my computers has 512 and that memory leak causes me to have to reboot. So I don't have FF on there.

If IE had a memory leak that bad they'd work 24 hours a day to fix it. The FF people haven't fixed theirs in the two years or so that leak has been there. That is the downside to open source garbage. A bunch of basement coders who aren't FORCED to do anything.

zibril · 03-27-2007, 02:11 PM

FireFox is great, IE sucks...

Zoose · 03-27-2007, 02:25 PM

Firefox owns IE IMO - though I haven't used IE7. Once you get used to tabs and get the browser set up right, it is so much easier and more comfortable to browse with. Also, as far as the memory leaks go.. simply exit Firefox once every couple hours and you'll be fine. I had a stick of memory go bad a few months back and have been stuck with 384MB and have not had any trouble. Photoshop on the other hand.. I can't seem to work on something for more then 45mins without it crashing
