I dont like firefox. I dont see a single point what makes fire fox better than IE/Netscape. Ok, I see there are alot of differences in IE and FireFox, but what's different in FireFox and Netscape? I once faced an error in FireFox it had soemthing like "Navigator is going to close now". Are they using Netscap's code? ------------- http://www.muhammadbinyusrat.com/blog/" rel="nofollow - Say to the believing men.. |

Firefox is better than IE in allot of ways, for a start it is much
faster, better security, follows the W3C standards better, etc. Mozilla Firefox doesn't use Netscapes code, Netscape use Mozilla's code for there browser. Netscape 7.2 code base uses an older version of Mozilla from www.mozilla.org ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I found Firefox to be that bit slower than IE (apparently this is
because the rendering engine (Gecko?) follows the W3C standards, there
are more definitions than there is in IE). But the new version of Firefox (1.0.1) seems to be a little buggy and slow (applicationwise, not website rendering). But in fairness, Firefox is a better browser by far. Try it for a week and you will see. I didn't like it at first, till I used it for a week, now it's all I use unless I have to use IE. ------------- Wolfie--[ http://www.wolfweb.co.uk - WolfWeb.co.uk ] PHP, .net--[ beginner ] ASP, VB, C, SQL--[ intermediate ] X/D/HTML, CSS, WML, XML--[ |

I played around with the 0.8 builds and didn't like them, but when 1.0 rolled around, it became worth switching. The earlier versions kept crashing, which is why I didn't use them beyond tesing the waters. To put it another way, MS declared it would stop development on IE, and recently announced IE 7 will be coming out. You know why. Until IE 7 comes out, FireFox is the best browser available. I've loved Opera's mouse gestures for years, but Opera never seemed to make it to the level of usability that IE or FireFox has. It now looks like Opera is switching their strategy to focus on mobile and embedded applications. We'll see what happens... ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

Gah! I found Opera horrible to use! Seemed a little OTT to me and the ads are just annoying.

I also tested Firefox and I noticed that my tables are messed up. (bigger or smaller) When I hit the refresch button everything is ok again and when I refresch a cople of times more the problem is back again. I also had a few cookie problems. (Could not connect to the forum) I stick to IE for the time being.....

Did you uninstall the old version before installing the new one/ The next version of firefox uses the 1.8 mozilla gecko engine which is faster. |

Yeah. I forgot to uninstall it at first; but I uninstalled (1.0) it and installed 1.0.1 again. And I have found the rendering is faster now in 1.0.1 since 1.0 ------------- Wolfie--[ http://www.wolfweb.co.uk - WolfWeb.co.uk ] PHP, .net--[ beginner ] ASP, VB, C, SQL--[ intermediate ] X/D/HTML, CSS, WML, XML--[ |

According to what I read on Mozillazine (offical mozilla forums) there
are no bugsfixes or impovements to make it render faster.  However it does seem to render faster
