Re: not quite

Big time! The damn thing still doesn't work right, and shutsdown 10x as often as IE. I hardly use it anymore...

So what is wrong with your system????
I have NEVER had a problem with Firefox....
It is my only Browser.

I'll second that. I have yet to encounter a site that causes Firefox to hang or hard crash.

I ran across my first one the other day - the A&E TV network's Web site at »www.aetv.com/ . Funny how it crashes Firefox on my Windows XP machine but not on my Linux box...

If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.

I just clicked on it using Firefox with no problems. I don't have the latest updates for FF though so I have no idea if that's the reason. I think I found just one site so far that doesn't render properly on Firefox and it's probably because they are using FrontPage extensions or something like that (it's not a commercial site).

Say What?? Shut down. My firefox would never close like the internet explorer thingy! If anything shuts down, then its internet deplorer, err internet explorer I mean.

then you must not use java or surf....

I use both and if I want a crash, just surf multiple pages running java in tabs...

Funny thing is I just went there and No Crash, Hang or what not. And My Firefox is at 1.03, So I think It's just Your system possibly.

Hi, like FF alot, but had one problem with it. Wanted to download 2 MP3 shows with FF. Where you would normally right click "save target as", I could only download the name of the file or the url.

So, had dust off my old IE, did the same thing and was able to download the entire file. This happened on another site with success using IE, but was unable to download using FF. Am probably missing info w/r and need to learn more. Anyway, I put the IE back in its box and haven't had a problem yet.

Have a good day.
