You should have downloaded Opera. Now your plagued with the infamous Mozilla Memory Leak (MML.Win.32) bug.

Firefox is great, but keep IE. Many Windows sites require you to use IE to download updates and what not for your computer.

There's an extension you can add to Firefox called 'User Agent Switcher.' It allows you to change your user agent (which is what browser a website sees you as) to Internet Explorer, or anything of your choosing. Opera and K-Meleon both have this by default.

I love Firefox too but can't use it on this site. For some reason it won't let me reply to posts correctly here. Weird. I still use IE for somd.com, obviously. :lol:
 
So I should look into Opera...

:shrug: I use FireFox on my home and work PCs with no issues. FF v3 has a quirk in that it erases and redraws the display a couple of times, but only on this site. Otherwise, it works fine. A few have complained about certain things not working, but I don't think it's the browser itself, maybe another underlying program or utility.

nah. Opera isn't that great. Firefox is better. I think Chrome (by Google) is better too :yay:

You've been brainwashed! Opera is better for the simple fact it wasn't created using a Java platform, therefore not requiring copius amounts of RAM to run it. The best browser using a Java platform, however, is K-Meleon.
Just the opinion of one person.

I don't know if anything has changed since I last tried Opera sometime within the last couple years, but that program required the -most- RAM which is one of the reasons I said to hell with it.

You cannot un-install IE7 like you did in XP. In Vista IE is the desktop windowing engine, i.e; it is the equivalent of Windows XP Windows Explorer.

the newest final release of firefox gives you ####fits with replying to the forums if you have WYSIWYG editor turned on.

Actually, I have WYSIWYG trouble with everything with Firefox. That's why I just use IE7.

Alot has changed, they're already into the 9.6x versions.

I hadn't tried either Opera nor Chrome, so I tried them out today. Chrome was nice, but too basic for me. I like Opera better. In fact, it could replace Firefox for me. Too bad it couldn't import everything (including passwords) from Firefox like Chome did.
