On tues my explorer crapped its self so decided to d/l firefox. It is the grestest thing since sliced wheels. I love the themes and extensions.Is there any reson why explorer is better than firefox.
Sometimes a site developer will never test there site with Firefox so it will look wrong or not work right. I made the switch last year and always previewed my site with Firefox. I was working on a site and made the background black #00000 but I typed it #0000 , Firefox was able to figure it out and show it as black, but Explorer showed it as white. Goes both ways. Also Firefox doesn’t work with some Flash plug-ins; it’s a small price I’m willing to pay
That's right, that's when you have to find IE and unlock/un-secure it enough to go to the Windows update site ... then lock it back up and tuck it away 'til next time. Active Scripting or some such proprietary junk from Microsoft is what causes it. I don't think there's a plug-in, if that's even possible.
next Tuesday is supposed to be Black Tuesday again, with a "Critical" security update for MS Office and an "Important" one for Windows itself.
Fx is lightweight and pretty robust and not tangled into the underlying operating system like IE - Opera's ok too, and it's even got a "Voice" feature that'll scare your pets if you use it right .. but i say yea to the Fox.
Generally, firefox is quicker to issue a workaround...before they have a patch. They are able to patch quicker than Explorer...because it is enterprise software that has to be tested, and tested, and tested so that before it is put in the find they want to make sure it won't break anything.
But, Firefox has seen all the innovation...most of which was lifted from Opera. But Opera up until recently was pay or add supported...Explorer has not seen a major revision since, what, the mid 90s? (Basically when they dethroned Netscape). Explorer has been stale, and rife with problems (cough cough, active x).
That is not to say that Firefox is perfect, it isn't. But it is a better browser...and more importantly, they have given Microsoft someone to compete with...which is a good thing.
I pray that's a joke because AOL...is...well...aol. It's for children. Children who like a needlessly complicated and cluttered setup that cannot be customized in any meaningful way, and is tied to a huge program full of bugs, that if you call AOL about, you have to talk to APU NAHOSIPEMAPETLON calling himself "jeff!"
By the way, it's NOT a browser, it's a rendering engine. :D
Using IE is like mixing ingredients for cookies with a spork.
I have the "open in IE tab" extension for firefox so I never have to open the packard bell of browsers (IE).
Opera needs a few user friendly touches and features that firefox has, but I always have both open because Opera has grown on me and firefox has become Dale Earnhardt lately.
Anybody use the new netscape browser that is an attempted mix of IE and FF? After 5 minutes of trying that thing, and realizing it didn't have the ease of use of FF, I asked myself why I was wasting the time to learn it's functions.
Tabbed browsing rules, especially when you're at work and want to load up 12 pages at once. Go Firefox. I don't have a mac so I don't want to hear about safari.

I think he's just saying he's better than all web browsers.
I was just giving him the benefit of the doubt because saying he's better than other browswers is kind of retarded.
BTW--for those of you who are starting to play around with code building your own browser is one of the more fun/informative projects out there. It's also one of those ones that will impress your mom.
The retarded scroll pad on my new laptop can't seem to come to grips with Firefox...so I suppose in its limited experience, IE is better. Of course we all know this to be a DAMNABLE LIE.

Thanks HTGIO---I revealed my age there. You kids should try war dialing just for fun--although no one has a land line any more and long distance is much cheaper than way back when so there's really no need.

For those using firefox, you might want to try the Fasterfox Extension. It is an extension which gives you some more advanced options to improve your browsing speed. Its pretty sweet. Try it out.

She's not punk rock, god dammit, why is it when Avril came out and said she was punk everybody called her a poser?, we all know that hilary is goody goody,and she's far from punk, at least Avril had that punk vibe.

Both. I'm not ashamed to admit I watch that show. Ashlee was in it as Cecilia (hot name, hot girl) and she was super uber hotttt. Then she "went on vacation". Then Simon's new flame was super ugly Sandy (Haylie Duff). Ashlee was the first blonde sister of a popular actress/singer to act as Simon's Girlfriend, and Haylie just copied her.

real punks are worse than poser punks. although i hope all of them get their hands caught in meat grinders and slowly bleed to death
—kastofsna I'm always surprised that no one ever mentions this and I'm pissed at kastofana for thinking of it before I did. Everyone is always right there to say "that's not punk" when someone like Avril dresses in punk clothing or alt.rock band Y starts claiming punk roots. I have been guilty of this, and when I did it I was as big an idiot as the other millions of people doing it these days. I went to high school in the 80's, I've been to punk shows, and I'd never call myself punk. I worked with 5 "real" (3rd generation) punks in my life and 3 of them were among the most insufferable blow-hardy sub 82 IQ assholes I have ever met. One was likeable. They all stunk with a hobo power of 30. For some reason I don't think in 10 years there will be people out there yelling "That's not Goth!" but defending punk has a cultural coolness cache like having saw Reservoir Dogs before Pulp Fiction came out. I own about 13 punk recordings and if someone put a gun to my head and said "ditch 13 CD's from your collection" it would be hard to say whether I'd go punk or rap first. I'd probably take it as an opportunity to get rid of all of them. I have great memories and stories of the shows--like people falling on tables and spilling my beer, but I can't say I have any love for the music.
2000 words! holy shit! my last essay was like 300, and it wasn't even that hard!
hey, im gonna pull a ABM and post it on here. Well, now that I think about it, it might not even be an essay. Oh well, thats what the teacher called it. Idk, I think it's pretty good, havent got a grade yet.
DIALOGUE ESSAY Keith: "Hey these guys are tight"
Aaron: "Yeah, man they are the opening band for metallica"
Keith: "You say they are called the Rolling Stones? That's a weird name"
Aaron: (etc.) "Yeah, idk, my mom got excited when i told her they were playing, idk, she's weird"
"Why does he keep saying "Start me up"? Is he a car?"
"I don't know, he might be, he looks pretty old"
"Blah blah blah...beast of burden, okay i'm sick of these "stones", where is metallica?"
"Hey look there's Kirk! they're setting up!"
"Man, Kirk is my hero"
"Yeah, me too."
"Sweet, they're opening with "FUEL"!"
"what?"
"What did you say?"
"No, i didn't say anything, i was just asking you what you said before"
"What?"
"Shut up dude, Give me fuel, Give me fire, Give me that which I desire!"
"Yeah man!"
"Hey, i'm gonna take a pic with my camera phone"
"Sweet"
"There...oh man, that looks like Sh!t"
"Well, get a real digital camera"
"No way man! those are for chicks!"
"So only chicks can take pictures all of a sudden?"
I would have tried Chrome when it came out but they still don't have a Mac version and I really don't want to have to fire up Parallels to play with yet another browser.
