Seems to be a lot smoother than 1.07 on my rig, now in the process of switching all 5 compy's over to it

Well, I hope it works better than 1.0.7 did. So far it seems faster.

Saying that, I have found the odd bug or two. I did not appriciate having to re-set up all my accounts in Thunderbird the other day shall we say.

PS. I can also get Firefox in readable Welsh, the extention pack for IE was written by monkeys.

Let me just say, as long as FF can read normal webpage html the same as IE, it's not a problem. But if FF cannot interpret minor html errers and render the page (as IE is able to do) we have a problem,

In other words, you were able to read the paragraph above despite the misspelled word "error" and understand the meaning. IE does that with webpages that may have a missing tag here or there. I've found FF cannot do this as well.

Hmm lets see... 8 reasons why IE is better than FF

1: FF cant render piss poorly written webpages (Oh yeah thats sooo bad)
2; FF doesnt support ActiveX (Oh yeah thats sooo bad, no one can root your system)
3: FF uses tabs instead of having your taskbar cluttered with open IE's (Oh yeah thats sooo bad)
4: FF lets the world see the source code (Uh oh opensource is sooo bad)
5: FF lets their users write extensions for it (Oh yeah thats sooo bad)
6: FF allows the user to completely turn off JavaScripts (Oh yeah thats sooo bad)
7: FF isnt as vulnerable as IE (Oh yeah thats sooo bad)
8:FF's developers isnt trying to make their own html standards like IE's did

Onkel Neal · 12-03-05, 01:17 PM

Yeah, well, I'm not going to lose sleep if FF cannot display some of my pee-poor html for you :P

As for the security issues, just wait, the day hackers turn their attention to your browser is coming. You're not trying to tell me FF is 100% secure, are you?

I've got IE. Never bothered with FF. The few nifty features did not convince me to move. The discovered FF secuirty holes was what I expected would happen.

It just isn't worth the bother for me.

And, no, I'm not a Microsoft cheerleader.

Isn't that why firewalls and spybot and antivirus were invented

As long as you have the newest updates, I check for those often
