One PC Firefoxed and two more at home, so that should keep me busy.

I have converted to the dark side. Nice little program so far. I have never used anything but IE. I tell a lie. I used Netscape for a little bit way back when I had a DOS 5.0 machine. What are some of the better features of Firefox over IE ?? I have never been one to dabble around. I would much sooner ask and be told. Thanks

I'll do it on the laptop. This machine is still 98. (Love it that way though.)

What are some of the better features of Firefox over IE ??
Well instead of having to open a new window for each web page you're veiwing, with firefox you can open new pages in "tabs" in your current window. Just right click on the link, and and click "open link in new tab". Correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm sure this places less demands on your computer. I think it's just easier, especially to close down, as you only have to click one button. Also, it's much easier to view the names of your tabs, as there not squashed at the bottom of the screen (if you have lots of other programmes running).

You can have more than one homepage (that open in different tabs).

There are much fewer viruses, spyware, malware and trojans etc created for firefox, as 90% of people use IE, so less chance of infection.

However, very rarely you'll find a website that won't work with firefox. These are usually the very basic "homemade" websites. This has only been a problem for me about 6 times in about 18 months that i've been using firefox, so it's best to have IE on standby.

IN reply to Racoll, it's also true to say that sometimes, for instance, Planet Catfish is broken in such a way that it's only broken for IE, but not Firefox - or at least if you believe Jools when he explains what's wrong with certain broken pages... And I have no reason not to believe that...

Some stats for the past month. Amazingly, we've atucally increased the amount of firefox use in terms of browsing the site by about 6%. Keep it up!

HEY! I AM NOT A... Wait, I guess I am. I might be able to program something that automatically kept downloading, installing, and then uninstalling Firfox from Planet Catfish. Hmmm. Oh and BTW, Firefox is made by Mozilla.
