Hi Richard and Haus,
How does it handle .URL files? Heard it still opens them with IE, is that true?

Hello Ramesh
It looks like I thought I already had it, looks like I didn't, but I do now.
Do not really see much difference right now.
But will whip on it for a couple days and see.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

I'd like to check it out. Does it have a clean uninstall so IE reverts
completely to its original state?

Haus
Hello
Yep
Remove it from Add & Remove programs
No more pop-ups
It will move all your bookmarks for you.
You can set it to default and still use IE for certain site like MS.

I'm not a Mozilla man, but I somehow got to shifting to Firefox essentially
due to two reasons
- Almost all websites show up exactly like they do in IE - I don't know how
they managed that - Mozilla was broken when I last checked
- Much faster rendering of pages, graphics and pictures - It show what it
has downloaded really fast and even in fractions - Useful for a slow
connection.
There's a problem with the tab bar in Firefox though - Once it gets
completely filled scrolling between tabs becomes a problem. It was good
enough to replace Crazy browser for me, and that's saying a lot.

Thusly, it was spoken by the voices from within Richard Urban's head on

WinME partition (it got installed into XP right away). It's very
irritating to have just finished upgrading you browser and your email
client only to find out that they've both been upgraded.
<nomex boxer shorts: check>
Since we're on the subject of Mozilla, may I also suggest the other
program: Mozilla Thunderbird. More powerful, and a lot more secure than
outlook express, and with built in spam filtering.

I run a dual boot. Today I finally got around to installing 0.9.1 on my
WinME partition (it got installed into XP right away). It's very

I hate browsers that cant do basic things like that...

A few complaints to date that I can see -
I use my Links as a Taskbar for regularly accessed sites (Banking, research
links etc., abt 12 of them), they all showed as the standard Firefox HTML
icon with no way that I could find to revert them to my custom icons.
On uninstall, my Google shortcut in Quicklaunch (which I always use to open
the browser) kept on trying to open C:Mozilla, even though the properties
said http://www.google.com.au/advanced_search?hl=en
By opening IE, going to the above link, then dragging it to the Desktop, it
still did and said the same.
On trying to rectify the above, I found the Registry still full of
Firefox/Mozilla keys (plus a live and well Gopher folder & keys), and
including a few which had overwritten IE as the main HTM, HTML (etc.) keys,
or pushed IE down in the pecking order with Firefox as No.1 - a complete
mess.
Finished up having to do a System Restore.

As opposed to what, browsers that open your machine up to the Russian
mafia?

Hi,
It's actually a security fix edition and you don't need to download and
install the whole stuff again. Just visit this page :
http://www.mozilla.org/security/shell.html
I don't know if they fixed something else in 0.9.2, but it's basically
this update that matters.

No, they haven't added that feature yet. But I presume all these things
will be fixed by the time Firefox 1.0 is out.

There's a free Extension available at the Firefox site that does
that. It was the first extension I installed.

Why use Firefox? In terms of security, what does it do that you cannot do
with the MSIE settings?
