(Mozilla) Firefox

Firefox and Thunderbird should be baked into XP @ factory !!

This browser rockes, nice tweaks for it.. good protection against scrips, popups and other shite… I really really love it !

[quote quote="DJ Val":3cou72os]For a while now I keep coming across links for FireFox. Can someone please tell me how good this is and why it is better than Internet Explorer and are there any pitfalls. Thanks.

Take care

Val, you’ve only got to read . It saves all the copying and pasting.

I’ve been using it for quite some time now and the ONLY time I see I.E screen is when I update Windows.

Someone mentioned, Thunderbird (think it was DISTORTED), well that is the Mozilla replacement of Microsoft’s Outlook used for email. That’s awesome too..

From a webmaster’s point of view we’ve seen a steady marked increase in people using Mozilla Firefox over the year that’s for sure.

Tabbed browsing alone’s like enuff said ! – It’s wicked stuff and it’s all Open-Source aswell.

Hope that helps you make a decision..

happy xmas – acapella.!

Ok, when you install Firefox you have the option to import all your favourites and history etc. so yes,

If I were you I would keep on using Outlook Express, if it does what you need it too theres not much point in changing?

I assume that ThunderBird would transfer all your settings though, as firefox does?

Tim.

I use Firefox! I would never go back to I.E. I get more peice of mind with Firfox…

Hey Val,

I still have internet Ex on my computer, you can run both if you want. (you just choose what one you want as your default). When you install Firefox it will automatically ask you if you want all your bookmarks etc.. copied from I.E. Its easy.

I would recomend it! its a good safe program.

Peace

[quote quote="silvershadow":114fxyr5]i created a website, and i viewed it in internet explorer, it looks perfect, but when my friend viewed it with firefox, it was all messed up.

According the the firefox website, firefox is supped to be better at displaying complex websites. But who knows.[/quote:114fxyr5]
I have worked some with web developement and working with the standards set up by W3C and the thing is that Firefox shows these correctly and IE does not im afriad.
This is a real pain for all web developers and we almost have to make two versions of the code all the time to fit IE.

So if it’s messed up in Firefox it’s probably just bad code. Tell him to follow the W3C standards 😉

[quote quote="DJ Val":rl0a6r01]Ok so I listened to you guys and have installed Firefox. I have a slight problem which i’m sure you can help me resolve. When i try and d/l remixes from here, i can no longer right click and save target as. It gives me a right click option to save link as???
If i click the remix "download" tab, firefox is telling me that i’m opening it in MM one of my software programmes. I don’t want to open anything as soon as it downloads, I like to scan everything i d/l for viruses. (don’t worry it’s a woman thing ) Please help
Take care

I’m still trying to figure that one out also, because it does the same with me. I’ll have to see if they go into the ‘Temp’ folders or something.

I hope somebody can shed some light onto this.

Thanks Val, it does make sense. I did the ‘downloads’ folder when i got it, but i could’nt figure the bit where it was’nt ‘saving’ because i keep selecting ‘open with..’.

Cheers, and Duuuurrrrr to me.
