I use Mozilla Firefox myself, and it's the best browser with less security problems as Internet Explorer.

TFFE RULES!!!! Wow! You've opened a whole new world for me! Once upon a time when I was web editor I used to have Netscape but I guess Firefox must have been developed since then. I have down loaded it as commanded and am now using it. (I'm very suggestible that way) The forum looks a bit odd though. The Author table cells have gone all big and spread out. Perhaps that's what the Spread Firefox message is about? I'll take a gander at the source code..ho hum [Edit] Cool, you don't get that in explorer. All the source code is in pretty colours like in Dreamweaver so you can see it better. And the table cells are only a little bit spread out really so I'll guess I'll get used to it.[/Edit] Existential crisis aborted. Reality Internet Personality ID: 176744 ·

I have never had a problem with Firefox and Winblows Media Player. I have an intermittant problem with FF when trying to connect to a website. It'll get stuck on "looking up www.###.com" Opening up a new tab or window wont help. I'd have to shut down the browser and start fresh. When this is going on I have no problems connecting thru IE. Another thing of FF I don't like is the "send image" which only sends a link to the image. ID: 176922 ·

Firefox is better than IE hands down. It, and Mozilla have had tabs for quite some time, among other features, that Imminent Explosion doesn't. I use both, Mozilla on my FreeBSD box and Firefox on my XP box. M$ is now copying the good browsers and adding tabs to IE. M$ [read: Bill Gates] can't stand that someone has software better than their own. Look what they did to Netscape.... By making it so that removing IE cripples Winblows, is not the way to make ANYTHING better. All they accomplished there was to make Winblows even worse than it already was.
