    Firefox

    I have seen various references to Firefox throughout this website (particularly in the sense of attaching photos). Anyhow, who has Firefox -- do you like it? I'm intrigued by it but don't want to download it yet if it would be a major pain to use .. comments appreciated !!

    I like it. It's easier to use then internet exploder or netscrape. It just seems to run more smoothly and efficiently, not to mention my browser hasn't crashed once since I switched. IE used to crash once a day or so.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I use Mozilla Firefox and I love it it doesn't have as many pop- ups and it is easier to use. The only downfall is that if you have yahoo you can't change the font or color when you send a email.

    I absolutely LOVE FireFox. Tabbed browsing, the ability to download extensions and totally customize the browser to your liking. THEMES, you can skin the browser... I could go on and on all day!!

    Not to mention it blocks ALL popups more efficiently than any toolbar you can download for internet explorer. AND it is MUCH more safe and secure.

    I strongly recommend FireFox to anyone, even just to try it out, at least try it for a week!

    I will NEVER go back to any browser (ESPECIALLY the nasty IE) ever again Since I've made the switch I've also had significantly less spy and adware and viruses because FireFox is more secure than IE.

    Firefox rules. It has a really good popup blocker, crashes less and most pages load smoothly. Occasionally there's a page that's incompatible but that's getting more rare.

    I am a Firefox user too. I like the ability to make print larger.

    In MSIE go to View, scroll down to Text Size and pick your poison ... er, um font size. It sticks too.

    If the Cntrl+Wheel up or down doesn't work, make sure you have the proper drivers installed for your wheelmouse.

    My husband uses Firefox too. I use Safari and I'm perfectly happy with it. I do like Firefox though and if I ever get to the point that I'm no longer satisfied with Safari than I'll switch to Firefox.

    Thanks! It worked now! I have both Firefox and MSIE on my computer and hubs tells me to stick with Firefox for safety reasons as Lady's Human said. What I know about computers can fit on the head of a pin, as you can probably tell.

    LOL once Tibby somehow managed to make the print smaller! Everything was so tiny that I couldn't read anything. At the time I didn't know how to change the print,I was so frustrated. Then I realized I could just shut the window and that solved the problem

    Opening a new tab also works, because the text size only stays for the current tab

    CTRL+T opens a new tab
