Don’t even think twice about it. Firefox is awesome and I only use IE when I absolutely have to (e.g. those few times when something doesn’t show in FF). It is a killer app and being open source there are lots of plug ins like dictionary and spell check and skins and all sorts of cool stuff. And tabs totally rule. :hr: ---

Yea, I guess I should have said its the “Mail version of Firefox.” It has pretty much all of the cool features of Firefox that pertain to stuff you deal with in email. ---

> [@kirupa](#): > > I tested in FF, and I’m able to view all of the examples. I use the default Flash produced tags to display the animation. For how long have you been having this problem? As long as I’ve been using FF - several months now. Some of them work fine and some of them don’t. For example, the preloaders in the MX tutorials work fine, but the drop down menu does not. I guess I should revise my earlier statement to say that a few don’t work for me in FF - I haven’t tested them all but it seemed like most of the ones I was searching for to answer some questions on the forums didn’t show up. Luck of the draw I guess. 😏 Would you like me to keep you updated on the ones I’m not seeing? :hr: [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/whats-firefox/63587.md?page=1)
