I know there are a lot of proponents of Firefox and just thought I'd chime in on this. I usually couldn't give a rip about all this stuff, but for work I use IE 6 (the older software that i support doesn't support IE 7) and it's been getting so sloooow. I was just on this page this morning and I finally closed the page because it was to slow to load. I figured what the hell, I'll give firefox a try. SOOOOOOOOOO much faster loading pages. And the look and feel of it are very very similar. So anyone afraid of switching (Mayfair) should seriously consider it. Just thought I would share my experience.

 

def.. have you found the tabs feature yet? like click on a post in df but use your scroll whell (click it in) or the longer way right click open in new tab (not window) thats the best feature right there i tell you what...

 

Gald to see ya join the fire side of the net.

 

No kidding, makes me wonder why I haven't done this before. I know there is a way to turn off the ads on the page, where do I find that. I haven't really looked yet, but I know it's somewhere in here.

 

dont tell me youre running NT??? [:@][:@] lol

ive used firefox for over 5 years, back in nov or so 2002....
Chewy i know the older versions supported all the way down to 95 and if youre using windows 3.11 at work you need to take a long walk off a short pier
remember when windows 95C came out and it supported this cool thing called USB.... oh how far we've come...

 

HA, no it's not like that. I work for a company called Mckesson and one of the software systems they developed is a program a hospital will use to track a patient through a surgery. Our newest version is the only one that's been QA'ed to run on IE 7, so I've never had a reason to run IE 7 or firefox, and till today, it never bothered me.

 

Go to "Tools", then "Options", its in there. Have you also tried going to "Tools", "add ons", "Themes", and "Get Themes"? There are thousands of different interfaces for firefox, its really sweet and pretty easy to totally change the look of your browser.

 

The only thing that I see that might effect it is under Tools | Options |Content tab, but there's nothing that I see that directly deals with ad's. I see Load Images Automatically, but to me that means all images. Is that the option you are talking about.?

 

I'm still scared ...

I fear change ...
