Oh wait, FF has a download manager that will plugin to just about anything, including some obscure tools so I'm pretty sure Bittorrent is one of them. It's called Flashgot.

Chrome is crap when it comes to good browsers like Firefox or Opera.

There is no safe car brand for a reckless driver. Same goes with a web browser, there's no safe browser for a careless user. It's called "Pebcak" (Problem Exist Between the Chair And the Keyboard) :P

Where is Chrome's multi platform support? Oh wait no, it's windows only -.- .

 

 

 

@louiellen: BOFH excuses ftw :P.

Chrome is being ported. My guess is that when they port it, they're going to port it properly.

 

 

 

Or then there's Chromium.

I'll take my Netscape 6.0 any day, thank you very much.

I had the exact same problem of logging in, I solved it though pretty simple. Go to tools>options>privacy>show cookies and then just remove forum.tip.it. Problem solved.

I use Firefox just for the Runescape Microhelper :

I stopped using Firefox when I discovered that it was lagging behind on my old computer.

 

 

 

Too intensive.

There are a whole array of reasons that Firefox could be acting slower, starting with having way too many addons. If it really goes bad just reinstall it.

Seriously? It's been years since I used Netscape. I remember back when that was the major browser for Mac, and before that... when Internet Explorer shipped with Mac. Now that Apple finally got around to making a browser of their own, I use that (Safari). Firefox is nice though, I just need the Mac look that Safari has.

FF3 has quite the mac look IMO...

 

 

And I think that about NN6 was a joke. I have NN9 for testing purposes, which is unsupported now. NN6 came out what, 10 years ago?

I don't have the patience to run through all the issues it could be. I switched over to Opera and have used that ever since. Also, I never used more than 2/3 addons, and on my last install on my old PC I had none.

 

 

 

Firefox just isn't really optimised for computers with older hardware from my experience. Scrolling was lagging and I was inputting text faster than the browser could register it - which wasn't really fast at all. (Not a fast typer, no more than 40/45wpm)

Thought i'd just pop in and say that MS will release the full version of IE8 today at 17.00 (GMT+1h).

IE will still fail on the security side..At least.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Making FF faster]Open Firefox 1.0(Any version works) and in the address bar type: about:config

 

1. Find network.http.pipelining and double click on it so it = true

 

2. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests double click on it and change it from 4 to 100

 

 

 

What do these changes do?

 

1. This enables option #3.

 

2. This makes FF use 8 threads to each page.. Bascially, if you thought FF was fast before, try it after this.[/hide]
