Forums → The Tavern → I have doubts about firefox.

i had the latest version, there no point to having fire fox when IE is just 3 times better

and that download thing is REALLY annoying.

Well Firefox may run slower if you don't have too much RAM(I am thinking it is RAM)but the way it is run on your computer is a bit different so depending on the situation I think it could run slower,but this has not been an issue for me,and the ad-blocker is an add-on mainly which is still to this day probably the best one out there.Google Chrome,and IE even with its newest version of IE8 which I have to say has really become upgraded in many ways and now allows for free add-ons that install within a second or two after you click on it to download(well it did for me at least but it installs the add-ons much quicker either way) and it has some other interesting features to it as well,but I still use Firefox because I like my theme on there and all the add-ons I already have.Also my cookies all transferred over from IE when I downloaded Firefox so I am not quite sure what you are talking about dacer.In fact I believe the cookies can be transferred over no matter what browser you have and this is coming from someone who has on their computer all 5 of the major browsers

All 5 of the major browsers as seen on my desktop(I plan on venturing out and getting more browsers for my collection though)



Anyways IE is known for being one of the most supported by developers and supposedly the most stable,Safari is one of the fastest,and plans on taking back its spot as the fastest internet browser over Chrome when it comes to loading JavaScript.Apparently Opera is the most compatible with any Operating System,including ones you may have never heard of,and is also very adaptable.While looking at info on web browsers I found that a browser named flock is becoming increasingly popular and is based more towards being a social networking browser of some sort.Anyways there is really nothing to lose just by trying Firefox so just try it,get some free(they are all free) ad-ons for it and see if you like it.If not then you can just go back to IE,nothing gained,nothing lost.

Well if you think of it this way, it's only taken Firefox 3 times to make a decent web browser...it's taken I.E. over 7 times just to attempt to work out all the bugs.

and yet internet explorer made billions (aparently), when firefox makes nothing! (i think lmao)

suprise surprise!

lol

oh wow thats nice fyrefox,but don't you think its just because IE has been around longer that they have that many versions of it?I mean before IE7,IE6 didn't have tabs,and now IE8 has add-ons and better security features(or so they say)but anyways its interesting to have that come from someone who is named fyrefox with what many have joked to look like the Fire Fox logo as his armatar.

twice as slow as IE in some situations, my computer for one

half the pictures DON'T show on firefox

the layout is so..... lame

and the cookie thing is annoying.

also as a note you do realize that all of the major web browsers including IE(as long as you have Windows) are free to download right?

Well Firefox and I.E. are to different places. So when you make a website make sure it looks good on both. Firefox only seems unsafe but actually it has other things attached to it to make it safe. Then Internet Explorer has cookies they are like trackers. Also they were made differently so that is why websites look different sometimes.

well yeah when you make a web site that is something you definitely want to probably take into account.The only browsers that are probably made in a similar way are flock,FireFox,and Netscape.The reason is Netscape made Mozilla,and from that bred the other two browsers(I just got flock and it has a pretty nice set up to tell you the truth,and has a lot of the same features as Fire Fox,except its made a lot more for people who are social networking site fiends)Anyways I think all web browsers use cookies,but Firefox is known for being very secure.

Firefox? More like steaming pile of rinocerous feces.

1.) Yes
2.) Yes
3.) No
4.) Yes
5.) Some

There! All around, it's better than IE. And, any cookies are in FF that were already in IE. So.. easy transfer!
