Goodbye Explorer.. Hello FireFox!

Finally.. IE Free.. Thanks to Mozilla FireFox!

Until now I stuck with my clogged up slow Internet Explorer because:

a) it was there and besides.. everything is Microsoft anyway.

b) I didnt care for Netscape or most of the Mozilla's Ive tried (many were no faster and had their own fluff and didnt show sites properly)

So I get Hijacked by the dreaded 'About:Blank' homepage Malware/Spyware thing.

I cant get rid of the damm thing and someone recommeds Mozilla FireFox .

WOW!

Fast fast fast.... no fuss, no muss - even imports your IE bookmarks.

Did I mention fast?

If you want to get yourself free from IE then run.. dont walk.. run to this site

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

(at worst.. I find pages made with 'Frontpage' tables will not always show up properly.)

 

haha I have FireFox as well no more popups..and you can have tabbed windows which kicks ass!!!

 

I've had it for a while. I'm never going back.

 

Thanks for mentioning those other benefits guys.. NO pop-ups and the tabbed windows options.
(yeeha.. i havent played with all the stuff yet)

Personally - I love the google box in the corner too

No pop-ups anymore and lightning fast.

Browser Heaven.. and I will never go back again either!

*starts kissing firefox title bar mmmm*

 

I have Mozilla (FireFox is a smaller version of Mozilla) and yes, it's perfect... Really nice...

 

i`ve tried firefox and avant.i think avant is much better,no popups or banners or flash animation

 

Yeah, besides no pop-ups, Firefox also blocks ad banners and the like.

 

I like Mozilla's built in download monitor.

Note even if you are usingn mozilla, you will still want to apply patches for IE as they are realeased from M$ because other system components may use them as well.

 

Good Point Xaioflux.

Ive noticed my online banking seems 'confused' if I visit using Firefox, so sometimes I use IE.

Sometimes you may actually want pop-ups too.
In this forum, a new PM will want to pop-up in a new window and Firefox wont allow it by default.
No problem becuase the PM will still be in your inbox.

But just noting - sometimes there are 'good pop-ups'.

Oh.. another tip:
Dont forget that you may have to configure your 'window washer' or manually delete your history from FireFox / Mozilla yourself.

This is mainly a 'heads-up' for those certain males who may not want a certain female user (or boss) to know certain things

 

Well, you can allow Popups from pages you want. Just browse through the preferences, you'll find it.
