Uhm... that's what he meant by his post. :error

nawww, im on netscape

i am IE and won't switch

firefox loads up intially too slow for me...and I hate the interface look and feel

Not as long as Windows ships with IE it won't...

This sounds like the belief (delusion?) a few years back that the Linux desktop would take over Windows. For 90% of computer users it would and won't happen in the near future for so many reasons - 1 big one being most pcs stills ship with Windows OS.

And for the same reason, Firefox is not going to convert the average web surfer unless it's bundled with the OS. Yeah right.

I was wearly about getting used to it at first, but now I love it.

Considering new PC's (or freshly installed Windows) get infected within minutes of being connected and find their PC unusable... you may be surprised how fast "dumb" users will switch, mainly because they'll get their "skilled" friends/family to check shit out -- who will then install Firefox (or <insert other alternative here>).

Yes that's just one reason why I don't care for it. If I want to see web pages load like I'm on 56k dial-up I would be on 56K dial-up. Yeah I like how ESPn motion works ofireofx without having to download the software( thugh video quality is worse than on IE ) still you can't use the ESPN toolbar or google tool bar.

Cut it down by 100%

I tried it and it ranks amounst all the other free spyware programs(they don't remove all instances).I ran BPS and NOSPYX and they both found an additional 15 .Before without Firefox..I was getting an average of 30-50 instances everyday

Well isn't firefox FREE? Anyways like I said MS caught over 4000 from a friend's computer when Ad Aware which is amoung the best caught less than 500.

When firefox can loads images faster than molasses in January maybe I'll consider switching. Funny how when MS comes out with something the haters still hate and bitch. Before it was "Firefox blocks pop-ups", now IE blocls pop-ups. Then it was "FireFox blocks spyware". Now IE does too. Still the haters whine. Sometimes I think people bitch just to bitch by the way


Firefox phishing vulnerability discovered

A vulnerability in Firefox could make users of the open source browser more likely to fall for phishing scams.

The flaw in Mozilla Firefox 1.0, details of which were published by Secunia on Tuesday, allows malicious hackers to spoof the URL in the download dialog box which pops up when a Firefox user tries to download an item from a Web site. This flaw is caused by the dialog box incorrectly displaying long sub-domains and paths, which can be exploited to conceal the actual source of the download.............

surfers still use ie.. so i still use ie alot.. gotta optimise fot the masses..

I'm not bitching at all about I.E but my preferance now is Firefox.I have been using I.E for years and was just tired of all the spyware and bullshit.
As far as vulnerabilities go.I.E has had way too many for anybody to feel secure and more and more people are switching because of it.
Adaware,spybot s&d,hijack this etc etc aren't sufficient enough anymore.

I use IE so that I know what users are seeing and experiencing. If firefox eventually becomes a real competitor and is used by a healthy number of surfers I'll surf using it too.

yes and that's when hackers will create more exploits for it, but to each his own. Like I said when FireFox fixes the problem I have with it I'll use it more. By the way I still don't get all the orgasm peole get over tabbed browsing. this feature is one of the things that make FireFox "superior" to IE. I have yet to see the benfit. In fact if anything it slows my surfing down. So much easier just to look down and click the other window if I want to go to another page.

:1orglaugh

I'm speechless.

I like FireFox very much, but IE still faster in here, and on FF, some sites do not open correctly ... I don't know if this is only with me. Think you should give a try.

Firefox
 

I tried them all ! Firefox is the best by far ! :thumbsup
