firefox as a web browser


who uses it and why? Is it a mac thing? I use internet explorer most of the time. One of the professors at school mentioned firefox being better.

I've been using Firefox for years, since it came out as Firebird lol. It just shits all over IE, especially now. Less errors and crashing, can open multiple tabs (IE7 finally does it) and it's just a nicer layout. Plus you can add tons of little scripts and shit to it.

At work I had a QuickNote script which saves your notes, so that was awesome. There's just an endless number of add-ons and enhancements you can use, but as a basic browser it still kicks ass over IE.

I'm on Windows as well.




A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

You should use Thunderbird for email as well instead of Outlook/Outlook Express :)

unfortunately, IE still has a significant majority.
anywhere from 70-85% depending on where you look.
pain in the ass, that browser.

I may convert. In class some dudes were ever talking about it like it was the best thing ever.

Just install Firefox and when it asks you to import bookmarks you can click ok, that's it.

I am still on v2, haven't upgraded to version 3 yet but I hear it's a lot nicer. I hate upgrading unless something is actually broke or severely flawed.

Never done anything like that for me and I've been using it for a few years now.
