Title: FIREFOX
Post by: tim on November 14, 2007, 06:33:14
Very pleased.

As soon as we went over, all our shortcuts came back & we have had almost no interruptions or stalling since.

We've been using Firefox for a long time now, and very rarely had any problems. Far superior to the main competition!

Agree. Far superior to Bill Gates' one.

yes it is good with regular updates, but can be flaky as there are some things still that, on a Mac, Safari works better

Wish i could get mine back. Opened it last week and was greeted with " can,t connect with server " Tried everything from dissabling firewalls, closing antspy ware and virus. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it, redone the settings and still no server.
Now i am stuck with IE7 unless off course............?

I use Firefox too, but have recently started using Opera for certain things. For me it combines the best of IE and Firefox, and it's free.  :)

Robin I agree I have FF and Opera but use Opera as my main browser now

All I get with Opera is "thanks for choosing Opera"???

Perhaps there is a desktop in Firefox and Opera but no can find, so sticking with IE7. But have disabled (or should I say dis-enabled) a lot of the new stuff. If fact looks a lot like IE6  :)
Don't see the point of tabs ,as in FF and Opera, surely a desktop shortcut does just as good a job.

Tim, Have you downloaded and installed Opera ?

Post by: tim on November 19, 2007, 08:27:29
Yes - but do I have to accept it as default before it will run?

Later - re-done it & I now seem to have it!

Glad to hear that you now have it working Tim, You do not have to make it the default browser, just use it as and when you want it if you like it then you can make it your default
