OK Aaron, I'll make it so plain you can't help but understand: No amount of
nagging, whining, complaining, or warning me the sky will fall will make me
use Firefox in it's current state of development. Think you can remember
that? If so, it will save you a lot of typing in the future. But please DO
let me know if a new release of FF takes a big leap ahead. I don't want to
be left behind.

Bob, Who says I don't understand your irrational love of Maxthon? You are
welcome to use whatever you like, but when you make misleading statements
to make Maxthon look good, that's when I (as well as others) call you on it
..
My memory works fine thanks. Do cease typing out misleading statements
though, this will save people a lot of unnecessary typing to correct this ,
thanks.
But please DO let me know if a new release of FF takes
a big leap ahead. I don't want to be left behind.
You already are

This isn't entirely true. It's possible to run FireFox in a different
security context then your main OS. It is not possible to run IE in a
different security context then your primary user account.

Dick Hazeleger said:Like the "Mozilla IFRAME" vulnerability the next day? Look, I follow
software vulnerability and security reports on a daily basis; usually
they aren't issued on Sunday... the critical security holes (actually
it were three more... read Secunia's site...) report was - and by two
independant, so it appeared to me that this really was important!
Now, let's agree that ANY software can have security issues; IE, Opera;
and FF too, shall we?
Question: When would you believe that FF has a *major* security issue?
When it is announced by G.W. Bush (either one of the two) on the US
PBS, or what??? My goodness, those who write FF's code are humans, not
gods... and as the saying goes: To err is human!!! Time to wake up and
understand that!
I agree that the Moz. folks respond much faster than the folks from
Redmont, and that IE had many, many security related problems... all
true, but... FF is just a program, it ain't religion, nor a cult...
just a program, and programs have bugs which can be security related.
I probably will get fried to a crisp over this, since the "Hail the
Almighty FireFox" attitude here, if so... then so be it!

FF, IE and Opera user (disadvantage of being a webmaster
Touche! Well said. I use OE but not IE (directly). It seems to me that
OE/IE and FF both are but roads that take one to some other place; thus
being highways, as they are travelled upon, potholes occur.
I also think that slickwilliegates does not give ALL of any program for use.
I think OE 5.5 is an example. Once it was learned that people could do
all sorts of things with it....(like user control, they yanked it back)...well
having said that, and having heard that some believe XP offers more
control....hummm.... well, in a way, but the bottom line is still slickwillie
pulling the strings. There isn't anything you do in XP that isn't logged and
available to slickwillieInc! So "control" is quiet an ambiguous term.
BTW I tried that red dragon monster years ago. The inteface alone was
a turn off...I noticed it grabbing everything on my desktop and subjecting
them (audio/visual) to its control. So it's all about a power play. One
can only hope that stiff competition will keep slickwillie inc., on their toes.
As the big guy on the block of course they make the biggest target. Kinda
reminds me of the USA and all the nasty comments made about how awful
it is,....by those 'foreigners' here and or wanting to be here! As bad as it
is, it's still the best country in the world!

Initially I was considering FireFox, but all the threads in this group
have convinced me that FireFox is not Freeware, but instead Free
Crapware. Future releases of Firefox may make it a viable Freeware
Browser Product, but at this point it is not.

Then obviously, you didn't read the threads very well, but only keyed in
on the posts that support your false assumption.
I'm through defending Firefox and trying to convert IE and IE shell
users. If you are comfortable using a clunky, outdated browser that has
security holes out the wazoo, many of which are unpatched going back 2
years, then that's your perogative. I may think of you when I'm enjoying
using the best web browser yet, one that is only getting better all the
time, but likely not.

So you switched to K-Meleon?elaich said:

I am tired of people confusing browser shells with browser engines. K-
meleon is a Gecko shell, no matter how they try to say otherwise. It's
Firefox/Mozilla with an altered shell, just like Maxthon is IE with an
altered shell. K-meleon has all the same advantages, disadvantages, and
flaws that Firefox does. I can use extensions and tweaks to make my
Firefox look and behave exactly like K-meleon.

I've tried three versions of Firefox over the last year and always went
back to Maxthon/IE. I'll keep trying though. Someday they may get it
right.

If only there was a Firefox extension to make it use IE Favorites instead of
the Bookmarks file. I installed K-Meleon just because of that plugin, but
once I saw it couldn't handle most of the FF extensions I love...
(uninstall)
I know FF has an extension called SyncMarks, and I use it. It keeps the
Mozilla Bookmarks synched with the Favorites, but is slow.

Really? There's an extension that makes FF twice as fast?elaich said:

There's one that will let you use Favorites in addition to, not instead
of, Bookmarks.

Firefox loads almost instantly on my computer (1200 GHz, 256M.) If yours
doesn't, maybe it's time for a faster machine.
