[TeeKay]

I experimented with firefox, but you can't use Ctrl+O on that, so I'm back with IE!! Damn Microsoft and their insidious software :D

[unregistered user]

Firefox! *hugs Firefox*

[nafklt]

I like Firefox because of easier downloading, tabs, and popup blocking... at least it's still free... unlike Opera.

[unregistered user]

Internet Explorer:slimey:

Maybe you were using an older version. 0.9 is the newest released.

Mozilla's always been open source after the original changed it's name to Netscape, so it was probably brought up.:cheese:

Well yeah, it works, just not for what I want it to do hehe :D

Ctrl+O is the open file dialogue in firefox, it's the open URL dialogue in IE (I prefer that to using the mouse ;))

[Xinithian]

I'm using Avant Browser.

[ChildOfThePride]

Firefox all the way! :)

[Vidan]

Opera, all the way and back! :) ;)

Opera impressed me enough that I decided to buy it. I think the price has gone down to less than US$30 since I registered it over a year ago.

Firefox is a good browser.

I only use Internet Explorer if there's a particular IE-exclusive feature on a page that I want to access.

When I had a website, I accessed it through Lynx, a text-only browser, to see whether it was readable. I've come to appreciate that there are people surfing the Internet, such as the blind, that can't make use of all the fancy graphical/layout features that would turn out somewhat incoherently on a text browser.

[nafklt]

Opera is cool, but it would be better if it was free. Firefox is open-source so it's free.

[TrkenTyger009]

IE and Mozilla......IE to doenload plugins, b/c Mozilla wont....., but w/e

[nafklt]

Yay! Finally some Netscape users!:cheese:

[kcnmttcnn]

i was a Netscape user until a certain someone said something about Firefox.

[unregistered user]

i don't like Netscape, i use Internet Explorer 6.0 ;)

[nafklt]

I used to be a Netscape fan, until I heard about Mozilla, then I was a Mozilla fan until I heard about Opera---> Firefox...and so on.;)

Internet Explorer's is pretty cool too though.:cheese:

[unregistered user]

IE, MSN E-9, Firefox. ^^
;)

[Simba_TLK]

i have had bad experiences with programs which are not "normal", such as having to reformat the computer, windows behaving strangely, etc :eek:

I use IE...but I downloaded Firefox, and tried it...I suppose it is okay..but I'm used to IE. Oh...and I forget who mentioned them being taken to a search thing...if it is the "searchtheweb" thing...I had the same problem...and i know how to get rid of it...cause adware, and spyware things won't find it. :)

Also, at my grandma's house I use MSN Explorer. I metioned that because I was at her place today. :Psst:

[Endra]

Firefox!

I do have some problems with it though. I often get the "This Document Contains No Data" message. Refreshing the page 10-20 times works though :p

[Shawchert]

[Lion Roar]

I use Opera.

I have also IE 6 and Mozilla Firefox, but I don't use them.

[Nephilim]

Internet Explorer doesn't even work on my computer any more. ;)

[Ruska]

I use Mozilla FireFox.

[Nala-Rules]

I use AOL 9.0 :grrr:

Total waste of space it is :die:

[Endra]

Now I use Opera :D

[Anni_the_Diva]

I've been a faithful Mozilla user since May. Going back to IE would be like going back to 28k dial-up from Broadband. :eww:

[Prince Kovu]

Um.. i Use Firefox and IE ... I think i like both, but when i go to sites full of pictures and animations i use to pick firefox because i feel that it loads them in a faster way.. same when im dling something.. But i like more IE for forums like LH.. anyways its more likely what i feel like clicking.. firefox or ie icon -.-'

By the way sonique.. yes.. Windows always acts in a strange way.. oO *click on link* Oo

Other way around...;)

[SIMBAtheENIGMA]

If this thread has been created im real sorry. I had a look! :cheese:

So which one do you use then? Firefox or IE If other please specify :) *hehe* :bleen:

[Sharifu]

Why, only the cool people use Firefox! ;)

Hehe you know I'm kidding... :p But really Firefox is great... With IE I got pop ups all the time and my screen would freeze sometimes, or take forever to load...

[King Simba]

I use IE and MSN Explorer. I should try FireFox out though especially since I've heard great things about it. :idiot:

[unregistered user]

Definately Firefox, its much better then IE in my opinion.

[Sombolia]

IE. :woeisme: Hate, hate, hate. My mom won't let me download Firefox >_>

[Opera Ghost]

Internet Explorer

[Monai]

Firefox, converted a while back. :D

[unregistered user]

klowd.. your sigs make my brother computer feel bad:lol::p
IE.. cuz it's my brother pc:S

[TakaTiger]

Firefox

[Suki]

Well, I did a search on Lea and didn't find any topics like this. Unless there are some and probably got deleted.

But anyways, who uses Firefox? I just started today (more like 5 minutes ago :p)! :o I used to have it but never used it. I didn't like it. But today I glanced over to the Firefox icon and decided to download it again (it was too old to use and the computer didn't reconize the file), and now I have it (and I use the Red Cats theme with the blue backround XD *loves every kind of cat :3*)

Does anoyone else here use Firefox, and if so, do you use a theme for it like I do? :p

[Daniel]

i use firefox, and i just ise the normal skin for it :D

[Suki]

LOL I love your avatar! :lol: The fox eating the IE logo :lol:

[SimbaTLK1]

Firefox is the only browser I use, along with Thunderbird for email :cheese: My Personal favorite is the silver skin with just the icons showing (no text) and the Use small icons box checked. At first it was kind of awkward to use something besides IE, but now, i'd never use anything else :cheese: :cheese:.

And Daniel It's kind of obvious you use firefox, hehe.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/_teaser/firefox.gif

I've actually used firefox back since it was named Firebird :evilgrin:

[soulImbibe]

I've been a Firefox user 99% of the time since version 0.9. Occasionally I find sites that don't behave with anything except IE though.

IE7 is coming soon and will add some of the features that Firefox touts; however, it will still be the primary target for hackers.

[nathalie]

Don't mind me, just merging some threads ... (so yes, there was already a thread like this, a poll to be precise ...)

[Lucy Lioness]

I just took the big step and downloaded Firefox, on my boyfriend's advice. :D

[Daniel]

haha, that's another one converted! :D

one day, IE shall be obselite :cheese: :bleen:

BTW, huma, can you check your pm's please?

thanks =)

[Lweek]

There are very usefull Firefox shortcuts as well .. some of them are copy to IE7 :)
most usefull:
CTRL+T (new tab)
CRTL+W (close actual tab)
click middle mouse button/wheel on a tab = close tab

[Lweek]

BTW: if you think that Firefox is starting slow, try Firefox preloader. Most IE components are pending in memory, that's why IE starts faster, but with Firefox preloader you will boost FF start up to maximum .. it become faster then IE. :)

[Bahati]

IE user here. Explorer does everything I need it to, so I've never found a reason to convert.

[Lion-Kovu]

I have been used it ...:confused: ..FireFox doesn't in support of some wedsites >_<" So I still uesing IE... If FireFox cam improve^^ I'll ues it
:cheese: FireFox is good but it's can't support some wedsites>_<"

[Lweek]

Or some websites should support Firefox. ;) Actualy Firefox support more technologies than IE (for example SVG) and more precisly.

Some pages are displayed wrong way because they are badly made. For example many Frontpage made pages are real mess. Microsoft was attacked many times for broke HTML standards.

There exists rules created by W3C (world wide web consorcium) how pages should be coded and displayed. It's not Firefox's fault that many homemade pages are not coded right way.

[unregistered user]

"Firefox love you long time." XD

[nafklt]

Firefox. I find the "/" key is real useful...xD

[LunarCat]

Internet Explorer :D :cheese:

[jazonhyena]

*points to signature*

Not over any sort of software discrepancy; just because Firefox looks like something a 14-year-old anime fangirl would create. I'm surprised they didn't call it KawaiiKitsune-SuperHappyBrowser-Time.

[nafklt]

xD :lol:

w00t! Kitsune avvys rule!

[va-kasi]

Firefox, and IE if needed. I can't get LaunchCast to load using Firefox for some reason :confused:

[jazonhyena]

This is a little embarassing but I had meant everything from "14-year-old anime fangirl" to "KawaiiKitsune-SuperHappyBrowser-Time" in the worst possible way. Like, almost no lightheartedness intended.

I even hate the word "kitsune".

So...woops.

Hmm...okay.:/ Sorry then...:o

[jazonhyena]

As they say in France, "It's all good, my boo".

[Melody of Scar]

Firefox. xD

I like the tabbing feature - I can be on all tree of my RPs and Lea without having four windows open.

[Fear The Paw]

WTF is the fricken point to download a flash plugin when you already have flash? to keep keep people like me annoyed with software thats acts like it's fast.OOOOOOOOOOO I can make IE do the same thing make it load faster . And hello eveyone out there who thinks that Fire Fox Loads Fast. yes it does, but it's useing your cache smart one, it's an illusion. IE only uses that only when needed, and thats not often because web pages change frequently, so whats the point of having cached stuff when it cahanges the next hour. HUH answer me that Question!!!!

Sorrey I hate Tech software discussion because I get heated to much

[Lweek]

@Melody of scar: Yes, and new version 1.1.0 is about to brings more possibility to do with the Tabs .. for example, drag and drop moving :)

@Fear The Paw: Both .. IE and Firefox are using cache to make page load faster. Only diference are that Firefox allow you make space limits and rules for it. Firefox is faster thanks to diferent way how it is loading and formating page, but that are diference in let say microseconds. Another Flash plugin is needed because every browsers have own plugin API. Opera will ask you about own flash plugin as well. Just for information, I hate FLASH sites, especialy when is flash used only for navigation. There is a flash preinstaled in Windows or IE doesn't mean, that everyusers will be happy with this default status.

Primary and most important reason why to use Firefox is SECURITY. I'm computer technician and my experince says, that aren't only campaign words but true. Firefox helps you keep your computer more mallware less and can help you have control over things you do (for example accepting cookies {which are mostly used for tracking your activity}).

[Melody of Scar]

Squee!! ^__^ Exciting! I love the tabs and the security of Firefox - I had a lot of problems with IE.

No need to get angry because we prefer Firefox over IE... I'm not yelling at you for liking IE, I'd appreciate the same respect given to me. =/

[jazonhyena]

FearThePaw-- I'm wary of posting this because I don't want it to seem like everybody is dog-piling on you but I have to agree with Melody of Scar; I think you're sewing the seeds of a potential flamewar in conveying your point that way. A lot of hot-heads who like Firefox are likely to respond in an unkind manner and will soon be loudly opposed by hot-headed IE fans, and then fur will fly, and then things will get ugly. So far we've all been able to express our opinions, different as they are, in relative harmony-- even me, the guy who arrogantly demands to be the bitter outsider in every issue.

A little simple, friendly advice: If you don't like Tech discussion, don't join it. It's the best way to avoid unnecessary conflict.

And brother, that's the truth! IE (not 7 Beta) has gave me more maliciousware than you could shake a stick at.

[nafklt]

I'm not saying using IE is bad but just more hackers and worm planters target IE more than Firefox because consumers who buy windows come bundled with IE and they're either too lazy to try something else, or they're new the the internet and stuff or they just become "one with the explorer" because they're used to it.:/

[ThiagoPE]

I ise MSIE because the "interactivity" it have with windows, in truth in my taskbar have a area for i put the adress of the website/pc place and it open quickly.

Nothing against firefox, some times i use it, buyy i need to admit, i prefer msie
