I read this and I am in no way suprised, and that in it of it self is a bad thing. IE < Firefox
-
I've already seen it on a client machine yesterday. They're running Firefox until I can get to them.
OT: was posted in Technology forum. :tongue: -

Um, yeah.
Firefox, Opera, K-meleon, Kazehakase, Dillo, Links...

Firefox rules.

MS should really spend time cranking out quality rather than quantity but we all know that will never happen.anlgp likes this. -
Sking, I was wondering when that smiley was going to be used.
It seems fitting that such a nerd like you would find an appropriate place to put it :tongue2:sking29 likes this. -
And people wonder why I use Firefox. "You are just trying to be different"....no, I am using it because it has better functionality, is faster and is safer. It always was safer, even before this...
Microsoft is a joke IMO. I can't wait until I get my Apple next year.dolfan32323 and FinSane like this. -
not to tote the fanboy horn again but linux = free and works on PCs. not hard to learn. just takes time.

As for Firefox I started using it with 3 before it I had used IE 7 but I made the switch and reasons like this are why I am glad I did. I do think PCs catch a lot of unnecessary flak from the Apple folks but the way MS drops the ball on the quality of IE and the 360, its easy to see why PCs get slammed so much. Still IE is just sad for how MS lets it compromise its users.anlgp likes this. -
For the record I don't mind using PCs but I can do so much more to my linux partition that makes me enjoy it more.
My os boots up in 1/2 the time it takes windows to boot up and my desktop is basically just a small bar along the bottom with a right click bringing up the menu.. or no menus at all and all CLI.sking29 likes this. -

and they did say... what the ****? a window? -
Yet another post down the tubes due to our nerd show. :lol:

Everyone knew IE7 had security issues anyway. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 and a half foot pole.

Ahhh **** it, time to switch to the darkside.

I recently went back to IE and immediately noticed my comp slow down and various trojans trying to find their way onto my machine. Cleaned them up, dumped IE to go back to Firefox and have had zero issues.

I would add to that by saying there are viruses, but you'd have to manually give them permissions to spread each and every time. So if you fubar your computer it's basically your fault. -
can someone hook me up with link to Download Firefox??

If for whatever reason you don't like the fox there are alternatives to that as well that are good.
I mentioned a few earlier.vmarcilfan75 likes this. -
