I am officially done with Firefox.
 
Firefox takes up too much resources and IE has gotten a lot better. Especially with their new anti-spyware...So I uninstalled firefox.

It's been a good run Firefox but you gotta go.

beta-tester 09-26-2005 02:23 PM

I am in the process of downloading Opera. I hope it's cool :)

Also, I am so unpatient to see official release of Firefox 1.5 FINAL!

I might give Opera another try though, I read somewhere that it's a freeware now

fuelcell 09-26-2005 03:21 PM

Yep. Working on switching over to Opera. So many bookmarks, live bookmarks and saved passwords that it is a chore but Firefox has pissed me off one too many times.

Tat2Jr 09-26-2005 03:23 PM

Going back to IE????? That takes some serious balls. They lost my trust ages ago.

sumphatpimp 09-26-2005 04:35 PM

MicroShit Internet Exploiter will own you in the end.

aaron 09-26-2005 04:40 PM

i still use firebird

BeatingSkull 09-26-2005 04:43 PM

gotta love the speed of firefox over ie... GFY for example takes .. i dont know, i'll guess..hmm like 5 seconds to load & with firfox it was like POOF!!! & it was done like instantly... i love that tabbed browser thing.. makes things so much easier than that fucking cascading that ie does.. as far as bugs & things.. post them in their blogs, they're working on all of it

Spunky 09-26-2005 04:43 PM

Only Opera and IE for me..Firefux was a pig and changed a bunch of shit on me after it locked me out

Whoa!!!! Thanks! This trick on that link stops the FF memory leak issue!! Nice!!!

This is how you fix this "memory leak" problem. (It's not actually a leak, it just doesn't flush the cache it has.)

1)Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
2)Right click any line to bring up a sub-menu
3)Choose "new">"integer"
4)paste this into the dialogue that appears: browser.cache.memory.capacity
5)Next click Okay
6)Specify the amount in kb (about 60000 should do) in the next dialogue that appears
7)Restart Firefox and happy surfing.

Damian_Maxcash 09-26-2005 04:45 PM

BVF - I bet you a single round of truth or dare (truth or dare GFY style could be fun) right here on GFY if you dont have to reformat within 2 weeks of going back to IE fulltime.

you dont even have to do that to set the size of your cache.
do this;
at the top of the page>
Tools>Options>Privacy>Cache>click on cache and you can set the size from there. (type the number in the box)
And don't forget to clear the Cache once in awhile too!

I stopped surfing most of the porn sites a long time ago....I was straight for a whole year UNTIL goodnightsex TGP decides to put some bullshit on their submit page.

So now I ONLY visit porn sites that I know and I only submit to known sites. Fuck those rinky dink operations.

je_rome 09-26-2005 10:42 PM

I think I will stick with my firefox.

Doctor Dre 09-26-2005 10:44 PM

I'm getting sick of the ressources used by firefox ... I'm waiting till IE 7 beta is over and we'll see

kektex 09-26-2005 11:27 PM

I also got tired of it...I`m now using Opera and I love it.And it`s now freeware too.

Vitasoy 09-27-2005 12:09 AM

Once I started using Firefox, I never looked back

kaori 09-27-2005 12:13 AM

I use and love Opera :)
but, it's not always the most compatible..

and unfortunately, when I submit sites, I'm forced to use IE (cause they all use the IE browser page.. blech...)

chaze 09-27-2005 12:17 AM

IE is still the best hands down.

Check out this plug in for IE too:

firefox is where its at

mrthumbs 09-27-2005 12:25 AM

Just installed Opera.. Like it so far.

I gave firefox a fair chance but its just too slow and its jams up quite often.
Same for Thunderbird.. memory leaks and issues.. ahh..


Opera users:

Is there a traditional Internet Explorer skin avaiulable? (not the XP version) ?

fetishblog 09-27-2005 12:32 AM

Firefox > *. Anyone who still uses and worships IE should be banished to a planet far far away. :1orglaugh

By the way, the article about limited Firefox's memory usage is wrong. You should set it to 16000 not 60000.

dozey 09-27-2005 12:40 AM
