anungunrama Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm using safari and would like some convincing that firefox is really all that people say it is. I have no problems with popups. What's the difference between the software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 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. I suggest you try Firefox. If you've got any questions about it, feel free to contact me or post back ehre :) Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mementh Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 there is a build of firefox (sorry can't find the website) that is uber fast on the max so i might recomend it The following statement is true.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yeah, I have a little complex about downloading things. I feel like the less my computer has to remember, the smoother she runsYeah 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 :) Where the bloody hell are you?

Hannibal Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedm Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Oh and I think Mementh is referring to the Firefox extension - Fasterfox :) 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. PDM PDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it would cache the logout link and youd have to log in everytime you loaded a page p.s is that a moomin in your sig?
