Windows Mozilla Firefox1.0PR VS I.E 6

I have both these browsers installed, and I am wondering what your oppinions are on which is best.

To me firefox seems to be more secure and have more functionality, it's maybe a bit more aesthetically pleasing, speed doesn't seem an issue they load relatively the same.

As for I.E, I have used it for years and know not alot about using it, is there plugins? can I skin it, how does it compare to firefox?

And can I ask is there a way to make the google bar in firefox search uk google?

 

yep click the logo and then go to "add engines"
or here

firefox pros::
lots of extensions
no popups
can block adverts

ie pros::
some pages work better in it (coded pages that use ie features and not standard).

TAB ****EN BROWSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111


if you only install one extension for firefox make it Tab Browser Extensions

 

i personally prefure firefox to ie 6 ... and yea i think some sites do work better in ie, but thats only because they were designed in them.

 

thanks for the feedback, mozilla is looking better

 

Not IE

 

LOL Firefox is the total bomb.....its the best browser ive ever used.....

 

I was a diehard Netscape user - I've used it since it pushed Mosaic out.
Hated having to switch to IE just to visit certain sites that were "optimized" for IE. Tried the Mozilla products periodically over the last few years but they've been lacking. I switched to Firefox with the Version 1.0 preview release and all I can say is....... IT ROCKS!!

 

Mozilla "Sunjackal" (as it is currently known on this machine ) is bloody fantastic tbh. One if not the best download i've made in a long time.

 

I'd now have to possibly agree after a day or so using it, much better i think.

 

i hate having to use only IE at college.buggers me up when i'm trying to surf the net.IE6 is crap. Mozilla LightningSquid all the way.

 

cant you set firefux to run off a usb flash drive?

problem with firefox

I love using firefox on my work computer but am having a problem with it on my home computer. I have downloaded and installed it several times and continue having this problem. The website seems to bounce. It goes up and down. The whole window doesn't do it, just the website. Anyone know what I am talking and/or have this same problem? I am running win xp home (for now) and cant understand this problem.

Thanks.

 

There's a possibly similar effect a few people have seen (including me). Clicking a link, either the page jumps or the mouse cursor jumps a line, and a second click is needed.

Nobody claims Firefox is bug-free...

 

how do i get rid of IE?my IE is full of spy/walware and its F***ing with my game of Richard Burns Rally. i've tried removing it from 'add/remove windows components' but it still returns.

Get rid of your spyware with something like Ad-aware, then just try and forget about IE. Delete all your shortcuts to it. You *cannot* delete it, and you have Mr Gates to thank for that. Indeed, you can never stop using it 100% (unless you switch to a better OS ), as some things in Windows (such as the Help system) actually use IE's libraries. Bad huh!?
