Firefox really better than Internet Explorer?


Wizz

Recommended Posts

Well I downloaded Firefox and let's just say in 30 mins I got annoyed by it already......

 

 

 

When I go into Youtube it says I have Javascript turn off or I need to install a new version of Adobe Flash. So I do, but it still gives me the same message! But on IE it works fine....

 

 

 

I try to log into Tip.it, I put in pass I get the "You are now Logged in" Message, I click the Index tab and guess what. I'm not logged in! So I try again, still get the same message but once I click Index or Check your messages I get logged off but in IE it works fine.... (I'm posting this on IE while Firefox is open in another window)

 

 

 

I try to watch Flash videos but what do you know! It can't it just loads then blank :/ But on IE it works.....

 

 

 

I go to my Favorite blog but Firefox blocks it even though I know it's a safe site! IE does not...

 

 

 

I really don't see what all the commotion about Firefox is all about :/

 

If these small problem are fixed I'd be happy to switch to Firefox but until someone helps me with these problems I will use IE.

Wongton is better than me in anyway~~

Meh, it's just a preference. You CAN tweak firefox so the speed is faster but meh, not much different.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, one thing about IE was that major security flaw or something.

Close all the tabs of TIF on firefox, then open one with TIF and log in, I've found that it automatically logs me out if I'm not signed in and have lots of TIF tabs open when I'm not logged in. (hope that makes sense)

 

 

 

What's the blog that firefox blocks?

No you don't get it, I open Firefox it goes into Google (so far one tab), on that tab I put in the URL Adress Forum.tip.it (Still one tab), I go to log In and put Username+ Pass (Still one tab), Tip.it takes me to the "You are now Logged in" Page (Still one tab), I click Index and BAM Firefox gives me a big slap and it turns out I'm not logged in.

 

Also the Blog is Post Secrets.

 

 

 

EDIT: One more thing I try to log into another forum (PHPBB3 based) and it does the same thing like in this Forum!

Ah I get it, that's weird.. My firefox doesn't do either of those so I can't help sorry >_> Even Post Secrets works for me.

Well thanks for trying, I have not done anything and I barely Downloaded FIreFox if that helps.

 

Ok Youtube works fine and Flash videos works now O_o but I still can't log into Tip.it right and I manage to fix the blocking of Websites.

 

 

 

Ok I turn off enable cookies in Firefox and guess what I can log in! But I have no Idea what kind of effects will happen if I surf the net without cookies enabled.

Firefox does not share plugins with IE, as they use a different plugins system.

 

I try to log into Tip.it, I put in pass I get the "You are now Logged in" Message, I click the Index tab and guess what. I'm not logged in!

You have cookies either turned off or disabled for Tip.it.

 

I try to watch Flash videos but what do you know! It can't it just loads then blank :/ But on IE it works.....

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 Second addon on that page.

 

I go to my Favorite blog but Firefox blocks it even though I know it's a safe site! IE does not...

 

Do you know it's safe?

 

I really don't see what all the commotion about Firefox is all about :/

 

1. Faster

 

2. Safer (Remember those computers hijacked by IE just a month or two ago? There was an announcement on Tip.it, it was so big)

 

3. Completely free (You can't get IE without buying Windows)

 

4. Cross platform

 

5. More extensible

 

6. Renders HTML and CSS better than IE (Web pages display correctly- Sometimes they display so much better in FF than IE you wonder what the developers were thinking.)

I'd use Firefox just because it's so much better for web designing. IE is the bane of web design.

 

 

 

Besides, just because a few things don't work on your particular system, doesn't make it terrible and everyone has to use IE. It works perfectly well for the millions of other people who use Firefox.

:wall: :wall: Cookies are essential if you want to log in to anything. You need to turn them back on or else you won't be able to log in to anything.

 

 

 

Also, you can customise Firefox very easily.

I managed to tweak firefox to make it a fair bit faster, and it is unquestionably more secure then internet explorer. My personal preference though remains Google chrome, I love its simplicity.

Ok I cookies were enabled, I put in Pass and Username. Click Enter and I get the "You are now Logged in Click here to Continue". I click takes me to index but I'm not Logged in! I turn off Cookies put in pass and Username I get the "You are now Logged in Click here to Continue" I click Index and I am logged in. But here is the downside, I click a Link that directs me somewhere else in Tip.it I get logged off....

Ok. Go into Tools > Options > Privacy, and make sure that both boxes under cookies are ticked, the drop down box is set 'until they expire', and tip.it isn't added as a exception.

 

 

 

Also, when you installed, did you import all settings from IE? Something from there might have affected it.

Perhaps log out of tip.it forums on IE, then log in on FF, and tick "the remember me" box. Then it should work.

 

 

 

Also, Firefox is more secure, since IE is the browser all the hackers and other maliscious people work on to get into your system, not firefox.

I hate to be a fanboi but Opera trumps Fx and IE. Get that instead, really.

I think that's most stuff Opera pwns for? And no need to download loads of add-ons like on firefox to get all these good stuff that ACTUALY works. I'm trying to find something wrong about opera but I just can't.

And there are probably more but I don't know them. I don't keep up with the latest extensions anymore.

 

 

 

Also, FF is open source and FF3.2 will be lots faster than Opera.
