Sorry but you can keep Internet Exploder, firefox is far nicer. The google toolbar is handly for blocking popups, something else firefox has done for years. Havn't fund a smell chucker in ip yet. Probably here somewhere.

firefox seems to struggle with selling on ebay though - some kind of dll checker they have installed (or maybe I do) mor eyour area than mine Mr Tin. Can't upgrade IE anyway my windows is too old and I'm not shelling out for an upgrade!

Am I the only one who has not got a Scooby Doo what this is about?

I thought Firefox was a Clint Eastwood film. . . .

Firefox is an open source web browser, it's free and doesn't entwine itself into the brain of your pc like an alien leech. It's had a lot of the features just introduced in dIE7 for years, is more stable, is infinitely less prone to hack attacks and all round a damn site better that Micro$hite's finest.

Some sites don't work quite right with it but they are getting less and less. Firefox adheres to all the all the web standards fully. dIE does not. Lazy web developers only test their site with dIE and so don't find where their code doesn't meet the standards. Sleazyboard is one example of a site thats a bit different in dIE and Firefox. As the popularity of Firefox and other non M$ browsers increases this will continue to be a decreasing problem. I have no problem at all using ebay from firefox. Also the web development tools that are available now are a lot better at checking for bad code than they used to be (apart from the one written by MicroSloth of course).

Firefox is in the press a bit at the moment because they've released a major new version just days after Mickey$oft caught up with the old one. Some people are amused by this. Do you think I'm one?
