Firefox: worth it?

If you're using Safari then you're already using an awesome browser. Anything is a million times better than IE. Regarding Firefox, you've not got anything to lose, so just install it and try it out if you want. I've never used Safari so I don't know what I'm comparing to here, but some of Firefox's great features include the ability to skin/theme it and being able to extend it with a huge number of extensions - check your webmail automatically, get weather updates, make tabs behave differently, mouse gestures, and a million other things. Basically, if there's something you want your browser to do, the chances are that somebody has thought about it before and has written an extension for it. Want close buttons on every tab? Sure thing. Want your tab bar at the bottom of your screen instead of the top? No worries.

Yeah, I have a little complex about downloading things. I feel like the less my computer has to remember, the smoother she runs (she's a she because spending this much time with a dude would be wierd). Well I think I'm gonna try firefox out. I know there are people that swear by it.

Yeah that's in general pretty true. Firefox is only the size of a standard mp3 though and installation and uninstall is easy as :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and I think Mementh is referring to the Firefox extension - Fasterfox :)

I think he's probably talking about the fact that FF 1.5 is known not to run too well on Mac, while there are several custom builds that run better (FF 1.5.0.1 also has a bunch of fixes for Mac). (here 'well' and 'better' concern speed only, and some people report no trouble at all)

Yes, I use that extension. It makes all of the links download while you are reading the page so that when you deciede to move on the next page is already there, you just have to open it up. It doesn't really help for posting however.

Thats cus it doesnt cache dynamic pages. Otherwise it would cache the logout link and youd have to log in everytime you loaded a page
