i use both, but firefox alot faster thats for sure.

TheWildcard 07-02-2004 01:17 PM

Yes, Firefox is better than Opera.

Btw, once Firefox is the most used browser, people will start coding spyware for it. This is the internet.

ModelBuffet 07-02-2004 01:19 PM

ok that's it I"m downloading it right now

woj 07-02-2004 01:21 PM

Firefox is awesome :thumbsup

pornstar 07-02-2004 01:22 PM

slowly as in ??? in 1000 years they will catch up ??

wvuatl 07-02-2004 01:23 PM

Do you know if the Google toolbar works with that?? Or something similar?

Phoenix 07-02-2004 01:23 PM

firefox rocks...i use it for most things

loverboy 07-02-2004 01:23 PM

very, very true !!

The tech guy from Slate.com was saying that there are not that many viruses that go after Firefox. BTW, slate.com is owned by microsoft corp.

I installed firefox this morning. It takes all the favorites and other info right out of IE so there is virtually no setup time. The program runs much faster than IE.

Should have done this before.

There is http://www.prgooglebar.org

I haven't tried it though, so use it at your own risk....

fuzebox 07-02-2004 01:41 PM

"Slowly"?

:1orglaugh

The Mozilla team slaughtered IE years ago.

Saint Nick 07-02-2004 01:43 PM

I have the google toolbar installed on my Mozilla. It works nice. The new version even has PR now, but it takes it a little while to pull up the PR.

I give mozilla in general a big :thumbsup

Cool, thanks... their site looks pretty scary

The Truth Hurts 07-02-2004 01:44 PM

doesn't anyone else realize that no matter who is on top, they are going to be the target..

if firefox were suddenly the standard, tomorrow there'd be 500 exploits for it.

NickHimself34 07-02-2004 01:45 PM

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't put tabbed browing into IE yet. Mozilla's browsers have had it for a while, and that feature alone is worth downloading it. The new IE has a built-in pop-up blocker (like Mozilla has had for a long time) but nothing great to help it forge ahead of the competition.

Lace 07-02-2004 01:46 PM

I just installed Opera because of all of this fucking spyware and what not...Im going to check into firefox though right now.

TurboTrucker 07-02-2004 01:46 PM

It seems pretty cool, the scrollbar sucks ass though - can't see the damn thing.

Lace 07-02-2004 01:48 PM

joshuawk 07-02-2004 01:49 PM

opera is better

i luv opera!!!

The Bootyologist 07-02-2004 01:50 PM

I need to check it out..

sexsup 07-02-2004 01:50 PM

Firefox rocks, IE has to be heavily updated to compete

ModelBuffet 07-02-2004 01:51 PM

I just installed it.. MAN what a difference. this is WAY faster than the other IE crap I was using

unfortunately this is true. maybe the Firefox guys are ahead of the curve and are making it spyware proof.

i'm done with IE - except i'm still using Outlook Express.

michaelw 07-02-2004 01:55 PM

Anyone who uses firefox over MyIE2 is truly retarded

Is MyIE2 based on the IE engine?

Lace 07-02-2004 02:35 PM

Ok just installed firefox..don't like it.

Opera was taking up 132mb ram, firefox 40-/+mb ram...

But when im listening to music and click a button or try to go to a new page it stops winamp for a second...opera never did that:(

TurboTrucker 07-02-2004 02:35 PM

That's weird.

Couple things that should be standard are paste and go http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/pasteandgo and mouse gestures
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#mousegest

edit better way go tools-extensions
