I just switched to mozilla firefox, because I had some little virus on my pc, and when I removed it IE didn’t work properly anymore, and so I thought I could try something new. and as far as I can say after 4 days of testing: It just sux. pros: +easy to configure +search textfield you can add your own search, translation,… engines (but either it’s impossible to adjust the size or I just didn’t find out yet) contras: -doesn’t display pages properly (layout of some pages doesn’t work anymore, table borders are displayed different, colors look different) -bad ftp client (I used to like that feature in IE for little uploads) - [ctrl][n] opens a new window, but with the homepage instead of the one in the active window (what I found very useful in IE) ---

i use ff because IE is NOT a browser! it stores your history in a folder that only if you use the run program you can find and even if you do find it you cant delet any thing! and here the proof [http://a](http://a)\*\*\*\*[aka-san.home.comcast.net/yayrant/ieharmful.html](http://aka-san.home.comcast.net/yayrant/ieharmful.html) hope people make the change ---

but the reason it’s not a browser is because it doesn’t properly use the http protocol, whereas firefox does 🙂 edit, thought it was the thing in syko’s footer, seems it’s a 404 instead 🙂 edit2, oh wait it is 😛 ---

I still think firefox is not that wonderful as it is gloryfied by most of its users sometimes it doesn’t display the pages correctly, it just stops loading a page although there is no reason for that (works fine after hitting refresh). plus I still miss the features of IE I named on the last pages of this thread. ---

I don’t know if I’ve seen it stop a page, but I’ve seen it stop a movie I was trying get. I had to physically close the browser and open it back up; refresh wouldn’t work. But that was like once, and everything has it’s ups and downs.
