[/quote] Only if you have the right plug-ins downloaded... And I also use Mozilla and somehow IE has seemed to have disappeared off my desktop and start menu... strange...

Jazz4jesus Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 interesting. This is a problem for me. Where can i get said plug-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciana Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 On their start page you can get extensions and plug-ins(like java, quicktime, etc...) for firefox. You can also right click any page that doesn't load properly w/ firefox, and right click "Open this page w/ IE" or "Always open this page w/ IE" although there are only a few that you'll have to do this for. ( I haven't had to do this yet.) I use it and love it. It is like the old Netscape I use to use. When I got a new computer I had only IE, and I especially missed the tabbed browsing. Then, I heard about mozilla firefox being better w/ security, so I didn't hesitate to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yep, I sometimes do that when a certain website isn't compatable with FF. I use FF religiously, I especially loved the tabbed browsing and the google search bar (and rightclick: "google phrase"). The only snag I've really come across is that FF doesn't play videos. It'll direct me to a site to download an Apple plugin. Anyone care to share any status bar things they use? I love FoxyForcast (weather for your local area) and a fun [url="http://henryearl.messedup.net/"]Henry Earl[/url] one (he's currently in jail).

dUSt Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I only use Firefox. I also use the e-mail program, Thunderbird. Less viruses and adware = good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it only a few times. I have thunderbird for mail, but I still have to set it up. BTW, I still keep IE as others should do just in case you need it for some sites, and it causes problems if you delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
