Makochild Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Has been all but bad :D It comes with all kinds of default features that you wont find in Internet Explorer such as tabbed browsing, popup blocker (which can be customized to auto allow sites you love to show popups.). You wont find themes and extensions for I.E. and you wont find a customizable built in search bar. (google's search is wubbly but ive added dictionary.com's search; ebay.com's search; mysql.com's documentation search; and php.net's documentation search.) It loads pages much faster than I.E. and the browser itself loads faster than I.E. It also shows web pages that are coded more towards W3C's standards while I.E. doesnt like some of the code. Ive only used firefox for a short time and im glad it's my default browser now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Kirklander Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Firefox ain't bad. I like Mozilla 1.7.x better though, and actually prefer My IE 2 to both of those. But there is no denying - tabbed browsing owns! (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Kirklander Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 i dont know why everyone is so exited about tabed browsing....i dont like it myself We will pray for you... :D It is amazing. First, your browser window does not have to be cascaded and take up more room. Second, you can set it up so middle clicking on links opens up a new tab to the right of the existing one, for example. So, when I browse Neowin, I do a VIEW NEW POSTS. All the posts are in the first tab. Then I middle click on threads that I want to participate in, post a message, then close that tab and the first tab is still there with all the new posts listed. No more "Back Back Back" button to get back to the master list. It works great with other stuff too. But seriously, to each his/her own. If it ain't your thing, it ain't your thing, and that is still cool. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitCh-Fire Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 The Latest FireFox (0.9.2 i think ? ) Has been working great for me....after enabling the dom.window_status tweak, its running like a bunny rabbit on steroid, with coffee flowing thru its veins. :huh: Kinda apparent, but ill never go back to IE :) :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakani Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I love Firefox and have been using it since 0.5, but damn they gotta do something about the memory leak that is present for a number of users. Oh btw...first post. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kryptonate Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I like tabbed browsing for when I read a thread or a page and it contains links I just click on it with my middle mouse button and it opens in a new tab so when I'm ready with reading the thread I can go see the other pages. You also don't have to go to the taskbar every time you want to see a new page that was loading when you were busy with the first window. Firefox is the best :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacidz Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Its ok. Mozilla Ok Prefer Opera. All good But some people on Neowin just a bit too enthusiastic about a browser. Damn some need girlfriends. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
