| New to FireFox | Aug 9, 2007 |
A few weeks ago, my IE started to crash constantly for no apparent reason. I had the latest version and even downloaded it again, but it still would not work for more than a few minutes at a time. So I downloaded FF and I love it. No problems anymore. | | |
...and Opera occasionally. I don't even have IE, but even if I would - I wouldn't use it even if they pay me Too unsecure and too limited in options. Too many "even", I know Anni | | | Mara Ballarini Australia Local time: 09:47 Member (2006) English to Italian + ...
sorry for my limited knowledge, but I had never thought of changing browser, nor of the reasons for doing it or how to do it. However, after having read a few comments from the colleagues and having found that firefox is downloadable for free, I'd like to try it. Do you reckon the new Mozilla Firefox is what I should go for? Thank you everybody for all the good tips anyway!!! Mara | | |
It is awesome at filtering popups and it has a nice feature where you can group bookmarks to different sites and you can then open the group of bookmarks with one click. Being a tabbed browser, this is great for when you want to open the gazillion dictionary and translation-related sites you use while translating. It also has an auto-login feature that stores login info and when you visit sites you added to you logon list, it automatically logs you in, without even needing a cookie. So, you can ...

IE simply because ...... | Aug 10, 2007 |
I tried Firefox simply because I was influenced by someone who hate IE. Lo, it turned out this stuff is a lousy partner for those who needs Asian language (in my case, Japanese, but then on what occassions and how, I wouldn't dare to recall). Therefore, so far I am happy with IE, unless there has been a great improvement in Firefox into this area since. BTW, I never heard about all other that are mentioned. | | | Natalia Zudaire Argentina Local time: 20:47 Member (2004) English to Spanish + ...

I switched from IE to Firefox for a while, just to see what the hype was about. The option of keeping several tabs open in one window is very nice. However, I have some questions about security. The assumption seems to be that Firefox is safer. I read otherwise when I researched both, but that was a while ago and I have no idea where I read it...

This link http://www.smokinggun.de/?p=152 has an interesting comment about security (see the highlighted gray box - that part is in English). I also use Norton Security which has a fraud protection feature linked to IE. I wonder how the security level compares now. For now, I keep using IE for anything that requires a higher level of security. ▲ Collapse | | | zkt Lebanon Local time: 01:47 English to Arabic + ...

I use FF on my PC... | Aug 10, 2007 |
...and Safari on my Mac. I find both quicker and safer to use, although there are one or two websites that will only operate properly through IE (worse luck...). I have a gmail account for email, so I do not use Outlook or Thunderbird. | | | John Cutler Spain Local time: 00:47 Spanish to English + ...
I found IE 7 to be a complete pain in the neck. Its safety features were more of a nightmare than a help. I am now a convinced FF fan.

Hello everybody, As I was working as an employee, we were not allow to use IE for safety reasons, so I got used to browse with Mozilla suite. In the meanwhile, I prefer surfing with Opera as it is faster, but I still use Mozilla regularly for the pages which Opera can not open, and I mail with Thunderbird only. | | | LinguaLab.net United Kingdom Local time: 23:47 English to Norwegian + ...
I mainly use Opera - like everything else from Norway, it's brilliant! I love their new speed dial feature, and how it remembers which pages you had open last time you were online - it saves a LOT of time!

I used to use Opera (and loved it for its speed and handling - the mouse gestures feature is great), but due to the continuing incompatibility issues with various web sites, I'm switching over to Firefox. I've been using FF for quite a while now, with the AdBlock Plus, IETabs, MouseGestures and TabMixPlus addons. And it feels almost like Opera now - I think I'll stay with FF for good.
