the only problem is the lack of bookmark organization, and the fact that none of the bookmark plugins to fix this work with RC1
To me there are a decent amount of good things about it but something about the Netscape based design just doesnt appeal to me. I cant stand using normal netscape over IE and to me theres just too much of a resemblance even if that resemblance is very minor.
I'll second that werd.The Kadvang said:
Firfox is really sweet, and it practically has no spyware!
I have Crazy Browser which is essentially the same thing and I love tabbed browsers!! Also if you use AIM the program DEADAIM is awesome too, same thing...tabbed AIM windows so you don't have a million of them open.
i must be the only guy on the planet who doesn't like tabbed browsers

Actually, if you don't usually have a ton of windows open, there's not much point to tabbed browsers. But I'm one of those obnoxious people who hates waiting for the "back" button, so I open everything in a new window. When I'm searching for something obscure online, I'll often have 15+ windows open.
Any particular reason you don't like 'em?
Anyhow, IMO, Firefox is a marvel of a program. It's small, fast, and very customizable through their plugins and themes. Nothing exotic, just a quality piece of software.

Specifically when you're using the browser? That's bizarre.manhattanprjkt83 said:i would love it but i keep having this problem where the whole screen shakes
If it's all the time, make sure your monitor is not right next to any other electronic devices like printers, copiers, etc.
I use both.
IE has a faster start-up the Firefox, but Firefix has a faster refresh..
I like the tab feature, but I can always use "Open in New Window" in IE...

Firefox is good stuff. I still have to use IE for some stuff at work, but I use Firefox almost exclusively any other time. Some of the Firefox Extensions are great. Probably the one I like the most is Adblock. It lets you block ads from almost any webpage.

Its a worthwhile addition, although, you have to put up with an annoying little adblock image appearing next to videos, and some stuff that isnt ads sometimes. But its more than worth it.

You could also try Avant Browser...
I like Firefox - been using it for a month now. After the first day or so, I figured out how to use it - I was floundering the first day, though.
Still trying to cozy up to the tabbed browser deal. At first, I thought it was frozen up, then I saw about seven tabs above the screen.

I like to run 2 or 3 seperate windows so I can 'multi-task'...gives me more time to go out and ride!

can you install the google toolbar into firefox? i like having that little search window.
Firefox comes with a built in google search bar.narlus said:
sweet, i'll have to try this at home. i've downloaded it, just never got around to installing it. do i have to do anything to disable/remove the existing IE?
I'm also using firefox...decided to try after using Opera for 1,5 years... similar systems, both have their advantages and disadvantages...
Nah. The first time you boot up the browser, it asks if you want to make it the default browser. You can do it if you want, though IE is still my default browser.narlus said:
It'll also ask if you want to import your favorites direct from IE.
It is your hand hitting the desk. Back the chair out about half a foot and try again :nuts: Or just quit looking at the p*rnmanhattanprjkt83 said:i would love it but i keep having this problem where the whole screen shakes
whoa who deleted my post!!!!! I just asked if it would run with SBC Yahoo DSL because IE6 is part of the program... WTF
Firefox here too, Opensouce for life
FireFox rocks, much better than IE.
Check out K-Meleon. I have been using it for maybe 2 years. Its awesome. http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/

I don't think I could ever go back to IE now. Firefox has taken pro e-surfing to a whole new level. hahaha
Here are some of the extensions I can not live with out.

How do you get mozilla to open a new tab on a link? I have the check boxes checked for select new tab opened from links and favorites, but it either opens a new browser(links) or opens in the same window(favorites).

Right mouse click - open link in new tab.
Yeah, I figured that out, but that is an extra step and I'm lazy.loco-gringo said:
Is that the only way?
Speaking of ad blocking --> HOSTS file
Hold control when you click the link. It'll open a new tab. If you have a scroll wheel, you can assign the scroll wheel click to open a new tab in your preferences.Wumpus said:
Shift-click opens a new window entirely.

How do you over ride the popup blocker when clicking on a link?
Shouldn't be an issue... When you click on a link, FireFox allows a new window to be opened. At least, I've never had it be an issue... Are you asking because it's a problem, or because you think it might be a problem sometime?Wumpus said:

For some reason it won't let me open the other smilies when I click more. Guess I just won't use them.binary visions said:
Well, there's an option in the preferences that lets you allow popups from certain sites. Just add ridemonkey.com to it.Wumpus said:

Yeah, I tried that, and it didn't help.
