FireFox, you set me free! [pop ups] [tabbed browsing]
Q: Let me start by saying I used IE for years. Ive read a lot about FireFox, and finally decided to give it a shot. Well I downloaded it last night and got Pimp Zilla theme and I could not be happier. Tabbed browsing is so easy to use and the rest of it will seem very familiar if you use IE. The pop-ups, I have some of my sites are now all gone, the browser looks cool, and everything is faster, cleaner and more efficient. If you believe even half off, do not hesitate to do so. Thinking all the time I wasted on IE .: Broken Heart:
Best Answer: I use this software and I assure you that any and all spyware will be removed, that is missed by all others.
Download the free version of Superantispyware. http://www.superantispyware.com Update and run an in depth scan. Recommend that you always reboot after any nasty spyware or virus is found to be on the safe side.
Being free, you must update daily on a manual basis.

Re:If you're going to stick with IE, at least get Maxathon. I still like Firefox better when I have a computer that can afford 100MB+ of RAM
Re:I'm glad to see a thread about FF that isn't a bashing war. Even for hardcore IE users the success of alternative browsers has at least been a catalyst for improvements in IE. Competition works!
ps- Colored tabs is a minor extension that I recommend

My problem is that about half the time I try to open Firefox it loads but a window never appears and I hate to ctrl-alt-delete kill FF rinse/repeat.
This happens to me too, just not often enough to make me want to use a different browser.
Re:I am a pretty hardcore FireFox user as well. I use Firefox for general browsing and Opera for any time I need to download (the download manager works much better if the connection breaks). I only open IE if I'm getting updates.
Re:Funny, I eventually gave in to FF…a few times, actually…and felt the exact opposite. Offered me nothing and was annoying at best.

Thanks for the info guys, I've already added these two but will need more info on the others before adding them. Good stuff though. I ran my AdAware and had 0 spyware for the first time ever!!!

Re:I also have firefox and am pretty happy with it … only thing still wrong is it will not do rich text mail on Yahoo Mail

Not sure if this is their problems or with Firefox .. hopefully they fix it soon .. otherwise great

You have me confused with someone else.
I don't surf a whole lot, so I never bothered to try out FF. Recently I have developed other interests and the corresponding sites have popups, so I decided to try FF. I don't see it as far & away superior to IE, but it has a couple of nice improvements that I like. I would really appreciate if we could stay away from the trolling & fanboism, thanks. I posted this for other people who may be considering trying it out. Using this does not make me enlightened anymore than you building your 'puter does. It does make for some quicker surfing and more convenient use in some ways though. It does have a couple of drawbacks though.

Re:Only thing I've noticed with FF is that not all pages display correctly, and when highlighting text/images on a page, they display incorrect output.

Yes, some people have yet to be enlightened.
You mean people are still using square wheels?

Re:I've been a happy user of FF for quite awhile now but lately have been having some issues and am thinking about trying out Opera. My problem is that about half the time I try to open Firefox it loads but a window never appears and I hate to ctrl-alt-delete kill FF rinse/repeat. I guess I could always just uninstall/reinstall but problems like this are what allow for trying new things.
Re:yeah Firefox isn't perfect :! my fav browser opera
Re:Firefox isn't perfect, but overall, it does seem to be one of the best browsers, if not the best
Glad to see you like it.
Re:just click on the links

Re:there should be a pop up that inform you wether you want to install it or not… try installing greasemonkey, ul love it
