so basically, only a few people who weren't already using firebird/phoenix upgraded to firefox.. otherwise its all previous users upgrading their browser.

interesting

Well, it makes sense as most FireFox users will be more aware of the news than users of other browsers. What's more interesting is to see that of the non-FF users, about half have switched (I'm discounting some of the Safari users that haven't switched because of Safari's greatness :p ). I think that bodes fairly well for the banner campaign. I'm hoping FF at least makes some headway into capturing back some of the market from IE. That will be good for the web as a whole, because it might start to increase awareness for standards compliance and cross-browser compatibility :)

ok count me in as one of the few who actually went back to the .7 build after trying out FireFox.

1. the Download Manager is a piece of sh!t, where are my normal download windows? not there. :(

2. the Breeze theme seems to work, but when i use it in conjunction with TBE i get an XML binding error at startup.

3. TBE is buggy, whenever i open a link in a new tab, it creates an extra tab with the previous page on it. wtf.

i guess i'll stick with waiting to upgrade till they get their crap together.

I'm using FF and Opera 7.23 at the moment... I hope FF gets the "Continue browsing from last time" option that Opera has (eg 5 tabs open with diff websites, retained and reloaded upon reopening FF, hence "Continue from....")

...and yes I know I get it to do something similar with the "Use Current Pages" button in General section of options but that means before I quite FF I would have to press that button everytime.... Opera does this automatically :)

just tried firefox

didn't like it that much

i'm too used to ctrl-O in IE to type in links and when i hit that in firefox it tries to open a file..

...that and i coudln't find the option to turn off underline links (i hate that too) lol :laugh:

but then i read about this MyIE2 thing

now that's some good stuff :happy:

You use CTRL + o to type in address URL?

Why not ALT + D instead, it works both with Firefox and IE.

Upgraded to FireFox long time ago. LIKE IT SO MUCH.

Still using IE. Firefox mostly.
