new posts dont just pop up on the page. the idea is, you make a post, then go read something else, then come back to your original post to see what people said.

not just safer than but firefox is the absolute safest browser available you probably have some issues with your host file or cookies...my guess is you've run some prog to clean things up and managed to block the cookies for the sites you're having trouble with but that's just a guess not knowing anything about it other than what've said try firefox but be aware, there's a slight learning curve so if you do try it, don't get frustrated..just come back and ask how to
delete your cookies and history folder. IMHO Firefox and IE is all personal prefernce. IE has its problems and Firefox has its problem. Just do me a favor and don't use netscape -_- I get 1 to many calls aday at work that go something like this "My netscape is broken and i want it fixed NOW!"

i think if you'll play with it you'll see the vast differences and it's advantages over IE be sure to visit the firefox extensions room and read about all available extension
