I only use firefox when I go on f2p servers. The trick is.. there is an extension in firefox which blocks ads you don't want. (See where I am going). It's called ad-block. I just made it so it blocked the whole frame in the f2p runescape, so now whenever i go to world 1 there are NO ADS!

Why not browse with FireFox and use the standalone RS client, as biox does?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What about us people who dont have IE on their pc?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are an idiot if you totally uninstall IE from your computer really. Its the best way to install windows updates and also ensures your computer has any components it needs to run 3rd party software which plugs into IE

If you can't even spell it right, you probably shouldn't bother trying. Seriously, it would mean you cannot play any of the games you're used to (except runescape) without a lot of hassle. It means you'll be compiling programs from source code, have to do without the fancy configuration screens and use a text editor to write to configuration files. Make a good typo and your computer won't boot properly anymore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why do people use Linux, then?

 

 

 

Because it's good for programming, debugging and other 'geek'-like matters. It might not be very good for playing the general kind of computer game, but there's still a lot of other things you can do better on Linux than you can on Windows. Of course, Linux is also free, and you can examine the source code. There are also very few viruses and worms out there that affect Linux, partly because its codebase is very secure (more so than windows, it appears), and partly because lots of people use windows, and very few people use linux, which means lots more people will be affected by windows worms or viruses than will be affected by linux ones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either way, I don't recommend trying Linux if you don't even want to switch browsers.

yes, Linux is the way to go if you are doing anything major in programming.....it does have some downsides though, besides some of the time you must ocmpletely re-write a program that you have made in Linux if you want to run it on a Windows platform (although it does help if you are transferring it from a Linux system to Windows XP.

hmmmm....when I use firefox, I must select a different kind of Java.....I think that the one that I use is the Sun Java...and sometimes the unsigned applet works also; the default one never works on Firefox (at least for me it doesn't)

DaN, you might want to try using GAIM. It's really quite good and supports Yahoo, AIM and Jabber on top of MSN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks ill check it out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just trying to workout how to install thing ATM :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Ok I found APT thing hannibal mentioned and without knowing what I was doing I now have GAIM installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very nice 8)

I use IE. Havent had any problems with it and my security is all third party, thats not a problem. With my firewall and virus protections plus 2 spybot removers, Im fine with IE and prefer its universal compatibility although FireFox is a great program.
