Re: Should have done it from the start...

i just downloaded Firefox 0.9.1 yesterday(7/3/04), and have yet to see it hiccup at all. Great beta release, can't wait for 1.0 to come out. Too bad the masses out there don't know what a sweet browser Firefox is-much better then Netscape7 by far. Currently I use Netscape6 to avoid the nefarious problems that IE6 offers. And, no, I don't want to lock down my browser to the point where text is the only option.

Just my 10 cents worth...

I just found out that Firefox 0.9 doesn't allow some sites through the pop-up blocker, even though they are on the allowed list. This is not exactly a fatal flaw, but when you add in the web sites (relatively few) that don't display properly, most people will stick with IE. Why trade a headache for an upset stomach? I don't think Bill needs to worry about his stock price too much.

you got to be kidding right? I will never go back to IE for the S%$%^T that MS makes . Firefox0.9.1 has been the best yet and all we have to look forward to is it getting better. I tell people every day do dump IE and for the most part 75% do and by far the Norm Best Buy shopper dont have a clue about how the internet works or what they need. I see it every day

I see people ask what's a firewall?
Do i really need Antivirus whats that do for me??
what is spam is that why i get all the pop ups? and if so how can i stop that? will spam blocker work?

just the Norm ??? i get every day
