Hey guys,

Lemme know what you think abou the Mozilla Firefox browser.

I personally think it out runs Microsoft Internet Explorer mainly cos of the convenience of having all the windows in one main window, plus enhanced security features.

What do you think?

Cheers!
Yasir :D

Isn't this kind of in the wrong place?

Anyway, Firefox is great in my opinion. I find that web pages load much faster when i use Firefox. I don't know if this is the same for everyone, but it is definately the case for me.

I would vote Firefox over anything. :D

Not only that, but tabbed browsing is a miracle. The themes, the extensions, the security...it's all wonderful.

And true...a post about Firefox should be in the Internet forum, not the Gaming forum. But I'm not nitpicky :0

I love it, I couldn't work without it. I just reinstalled windows XP Pro yesterday, and while waiting to redownload my saved files from my home network main computer, i had about 1 hour of time without any of my games, and only IE.

even though I had the firefox installer in my documents, whicih was being sent over, I couldn't stand using IE and had to in turn download firefox without waiting the 30 minutes - 1 hour.

IE was just as I remembered it: craptastic. I think it looks ugly, too many popups, and most of all I HATE those "Do you want to trust this content from this company?" popup ads, they piss me off, especialy when i accidently hit "Yes" once, and it remembered my decision so I got hella lot of spyware.

FF >>>>>...>>>>>> IE

FF >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>....>>>>>>>>>>>> All

Only thing that comes remotely close is safari.

I felt the same way. I got a load of spyware from those popups. They even bypassed my google toolbar. And there was no censor on some of them. It was a horrible experience.

If I had a mac, I would get Safari without a second thought. I hate all the sites that say at the bottom of their webpage, "Requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v.6.0 to enter". By then, it's not worth it anymore.

I used IE for so long before finding firefox. it rocks not to have 20 or 30 windows open at the same time. security is a hell of a lot better. even with tweaks, though, it takes forever to load. however, this is more than counterbalanced by the speed with which it loads pages. also, keeps pages in memory, unlike IE, so when you hit the back button, no waiting for those stupid images to load once again. :D

I hope Mozilla will become as popular as Explorer and people realize that is much better browser... and safer and faster like the advertisement banners say.

The only thing Microsoft does is copying in each new version more features of Firefox. I bet the next version will include "tabs" which is the better point of Firefox browser. Having 20 opened windows is very stressing.

When free source software has better quality than paid, means that a company is not doing his work well.

MS got lazy when they overtook Netscape and had no real competition. For years, IE has changed so very little. Safari changed everything for Mac with tabbed browsing, a built-in pop-up blocker and search bar. Firefox brought those changes to PC, and it's about time. Wonder how long before we see Safari for PC?

Instead of giving answer to this thread the first thing which comes in my mind is what is this post doing in Gamers Arena.
I have written many times that moderators(There are a lot of) are not doing their job here. But no effect so far.

well this is surely in the wrong forum. and also, if you actually did look in the internet section, there are already threads about this topic with lots of responses. this is more like spam.
if you want to see what people think go here: firefox vs IE

fire fox is great but as much as most people would hate to agree, the microsoft internet explorer is still the best, well coz i usually find myself with heavy load trying to debug my scripts that work welll in interenet exploret to work with firefox and netscape the two of them jus work the same, i think microsoft should let us in on their seceret coz sometimes its jus plain annoying trying to figure out why your damn page wont show up on the page...

Currently using Opera 8 build 7561, best browser I have. Better than Firefox and IE! Opera runs webpages as well as I can imagine and it's tabbed and fast. Yeah, it has ads, but only a little 2 lines of text, and sometimes they are replaced by a user-contributed Opera tip!

I want to love Firefox I really do, but it is simply becoming unusable. Its far too slow in almost all respects, slow to open, hellishly slow at doing anything. I will however say that it it far excedes Internet Explorer (Although 7 beta 3 is promising, and almost usable). However I have recently moved away from Firefox (due to the memory leaking) and gone over to Opera, which I can highly recommend to anyone not wanting to use IE, but put off by firefox's speed (or rather lack of), true Firefox has some advantages (More widely supported, especially by the big 3 (Google, MS, and Yahoo) and the extensions (although most extensions simply mimic built in features of Opera) and Opera is usually fine if you mask the User agent as Mozilla, or IE). Opera is widely regarded as the fastest browser currently available and features pretty much every built in feature of Firefox (and some extension features) and more (Bittorrent, built in mail client, IRC, download resuming). Firefox is good (better than IE) just not as good as Opera, but the main point is you don't use IE.

I find Firefox to be quite bloated, slow, and memory leaking - a perfect example of how open source projects can slack. Opera 9 is probably the best browser I've used on windows. It fixes the HTML rendering problems Opera had in the past. I find Mozilla to be decent on Linux, though I've never seen a fully graphical browser for linux not using the Gecko engine.

I recently switched from Firefox to Netscape 8.1, im pretty impressed so far. The security centre with built in anti-virus/spyware protection is good. It does tend to spontaneously combust if you have a multitude of tabs open though, Im hoping this will be recified soon with updates...

I don't believe the time I spent without FireFox. Before those dark ages I was using IE, which was HORRIBLE. I had so much spyware from those popups that I eventually had to restore my computer, even though I tried removing it with a couple programs. I love the tabbed browsing and the NO POPUPS. And when I had Internet Explorer, I would open it and have to wait like 10 seconds for the page to load, all while it froze while trying to start up, so I got fed up with it and looked for something else, and I wish I found it sooner.

i agree the in window feature is one of the best things ive seen but IE is starting to pick up on it so i think mozilla is going to have a bit of compition but ive been using mozilla for about as long as i can rember so im going to stick with it. i know it better then IE and i trust it more. it has alwase been more reliable exept when working on office live were they make you use IE because it is microsoft based i also like the downloading feature along with all the other ones you can download off of their site.

Love it for tabs, the bookmark bar, plugins, etc. It is a little slow, but on the rare occasion where it becomes a real problem, I just close all the windows and then cold-start it.

i like it a lot but it slows your computer down

Firefox is the best, in my opinion. I mean Internet Explorer is so slow now. ( On Internet E 7 It goes so slow! )
Firefox is the best!

Ya i like Mozilla firefox and i use it often. but i also use internet explorer 7. i like some features in internet explorer 7 more than Mozilla firefox and the same for the other way. but i like how in internet explorer 7 how you can have more than one home page. so when you open the internet you can go to the webpages that you go to the most often. mozilla firefox doesnt have this option. i use both of them the same. i have also tried aol explorer and it was ok but i got rid of it i didnt think that i needed 3 browsers. lol.

Inside firefox I can access my site's ftp, update my blog, read my rss feeds, automatically log in to virtually any site thanks to the bugmenot plugin, customize my right click menu, block all Iframe's javascripts and ad banners (pretty much no ads on sites I visit now), and I can switch my user agent so megaupload.com doesn't know it's me, allowing me to bypass download limits.

Firefox isn't just a web browser, it's the new operating system. It's plugins make it home to an exclusive realm of software existence that no other program, no other anything has.

It can slow down compared to opera, but it's like saying a movie will bog things down more than a jpg file. There is just more than can be achieved in Firefox.

i love mozilla firefox because you can modify it to run faster and there are plug-ins that help with everything, even finding security holes in your website so that you can improve it.

   Fri Mar 16, 2007    Reply         

I enjoy firefox indeed pages do load faster and using tabs makes it easy to browse even if IE added them but the add on are nice and very helpful.the down side is that most websites are made to be run on IE and you have to take that in to account when you make a website because it will look and work diffrent at time from what you see.I am very happy with my browser but then again I have yet to try the others yet.

I think firefox is great in terms of quick loading pages. But there are some personal websites, coding, and such that firefox tends to mess up, but it happens with most other browsers as well. I think tabbed windows are great. All the windows in one box. But I've only compared firefox to IE and Opera, but so far, this is the best browser I've used.

mandy, I know where your coming from for sure, but the whole reason that happens is because off CSS. Both browsers read CSS different as Ie supports some extra commands. In Mozilla's defense - IE supports commands that are valid or standard through out the web. Thats why those "cool" little webpages with lost of little cool designs and CSS styled scroll bars ect dont show, or show differently.

Related to tht, some webpages will display different on Ie/Mozilla because of the CSS Positioning bug. Mozilla and IE read the margin's different. If you were to research the matter, Mozilla has been said to be correct in rendering CSS while IE 5/6 has had alot of bugs relating to rendering the CSS. I am not sure about 7, but I do know the difference between the margin readings do exist as I had a problem with a website I was designing.
