| New to FireFox | Aug 9, 2007 |
A few weeks ago, my IE started to crash constantly for no apparent reason. I had the latest version and even downloaded it again, but it still would not work for more than a few minutes at a time.
So I downloaded FF and I love it. No problems anymore.

...and Opera occasionally.
I don't even have IE, but even if I would - I wouldn't use it even if they pay me Too unsecure and too limited in options.
Too many "even", I know

sorry for my limited knowledge, but I had never thought of changing browser, nor of the reasons for doing it or how to do it. However, after having read a few comments from the colleagues and having found that firefox is downloadable for free, I'd like to try it. Do you reckon the new Mozilla Firefox is what I should go for?
Thank you everybody for all the good tips anyway!!!

It is awesome at filtering popups and it has a nice feature where you can group bookmarks to different sites and you can then open the group of bookmarks with one click. Being a tabbed browser, this is great for when you want to open the gazillion dictionary and translation-related sites you use while translating. It also has an auto-login feature that stores login info and when you visit sites you added to you logon list, it automatically logs you in, without even needing a cookie. So, you can ...

| IE simply because ...... | Aug 10, 2007 |
I tried Firefox simply because I was influenced by someone who hate IE.
Lo, it turned out this stuff is a lousy partner for those who needs Asian language (in my case, Japanese, but then on what occassions and how, I wouldn't dare to recall).
Therefore, so far I am happy with IE, unless there has been a great improvement in Firefox into this area since.
BTW, I never heard about all other that are mentioned.

The problem with Firefox is that sometimes can not load certain elements of web pages.

Try adding the IE Tab Extension. Just go to http://ietab.mozdev.org/ and once you have installed it, you can right click on "Mostrar la página con IE Tab" and it shows you the webpage with an IE embedded on your Firefox.
I am a big Firefox fan, and I run the following extensions: IE Tab, of course, FireFTP, PDFDownload, DownloadThemAll, AdBlock Plus, FoxClocks, FoxMarks, URL link, GMail Manager, Image Zoom, and Fast Video Download.

| Firefox and IE - security? | Aug 10, 2007 |
I switched from IE to Firefox for a while, just to see what the hype was about. The option of keeping several tabs open in one window is very nice. However, I have some questions about security. The assumption seems to be that Firefox is safer. I read otherwise when I researched both, but that was a while ago and I have no idea where I read it... This link

has an interesting comment about security (see the highlighted gray box - that part is in English). I also use Norton Security which has a fraud protection feature linked to IE. I wonder how the security level compares now. For now, I keep using IE for anything that requires a higher level of security. ▲ Collapse

Hello Everybody,
Aren't there any Opera addict here?
I just love its features for surfing combinig also a mail program
I am curious by nature so sometimes while surfing I come across something interesting whether a quotation a definition or anything I can keep a note in conjunction with a Web site to refer to later.
You can save browsing sessions for later reviewing
plus if you accidentally close a tab you can retrieve it from the trash can and... See more Hello Everybody,

| I use FF on my PC... | Aug 10, 2007 |
...and Safari on my Mac. I find both quicker and safer to use, although there are one or two websites that will only operate properly through IE (worse luck...). I have a gmail account for email, so I do not use Outlook or Thunderbird.

I found IE 7 to be a complete pain in the neck. Its safety features were more of a nightmare than a help. I am now a convinced FF fan.

| Opera and Mozilla | Aug 10, 2007 |
Hello everybody,
As I was working as an employee, we were not allow to use IE for safety reasons, so I got used to browse with Mozilla suite.
In the meanwhile, I prefer surfing with Opera as it is faster, but I still use Mozilla regularly for the pages which Opera can not open, and I mail with Thunderbird only.

I mainly use Opera - like everything else from Norway, it's brilliant!
I love their new speed dial feature, and how it remembers which pages you had open last time you were online - it saves a LOT of time!

I like Firefox very much but I did not use it because of that. Now, I have the solution. Thank you!

Firefox works just fine with Japanese. You don't mention how long ago you tried, but I have been using FF for several years now and have never had a problem in this regard.

I used to use Opera (and loved it for its speed and handling - the mouse gestures feature is great), but due to the continuing incompatibility issues with various web sites, I'm switching over to Firefox.
I've been using FF for quite a while now, with the AdBlock Plus, IETabs, MouseGestures and TabMixPlus addons. And it feels almost like Opera now - I think I'll stay with FF for good.
And Internet Explorer...well, don't get me started on that. ... See more I used to use Opera (and loved it for its speed and handling - the mouse gestures feature is great), but due to the continuing incompatibility issues with various web sites, I'm switching over to Firefox.
