Title: Mozilla Firefox 1.0
Post by: spyderchick on November 09, 2004, 05:58:36 PM
If you hate Internet explorer and are looking for an option, try the new Firefox web browser.

It will import your settings, cookies and favorites from IE and Netscape and does a cool Tab setting where you don't have to open a series of windows; instead you can just switch between pages without having to open IE each time. This will save all sorts of time for eBay watchers and bidders.

Go to //www.mozilla.org for the free download.

It's the same thing or very close to the same thing as Mac OS X Safari.  lol ;D

Now someone needs to make a Microcrap knockoff version of OS X Sherlock.  That is the baddest program there is.  No need to waste time with it.  Want to find out quick info, don't even have to open a browser and go thru all the legwork.  I love that program.  You can get all your info. for so many things in one place, and you don't have to go to a website to get it.  Dictonary, movies, ebay, weather, phone book, medical reference, and 100 other things, and still don't have to open a single browser windows.  With movies and such, you can even watch the movie trailer within Sherlock.   That program is pimp  8)

Quotenot to mention how much more secure it is in comparison to IE.

Let's mention it  :)

How much more secure is it? Should I implement it for users at work and get rid of IE?

The experts seem to think that the security of Firefox is superior to that of IE. But then a roll of toilet paper would provide more security than IE.  ;)  

Do your research, because they also offer a mail client in Thunderbird, and best part is it's all open source.

See what you guys have been missing using windows.  You could've discovered simple, efficient prorams just like this a long time ago by switching to MAC !

 ;D

I bet if half of you played with a Mac for 15 or 20 minutes, you'd seriously be debating skipping a race weekend and using tire money for a new computer  ;D :P

My favorite Microcrap joke:

      

At a recent computer expo, COMDEX, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars
that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

   1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
   2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
   3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
   4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
   5. Apple would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
   6. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light or a "You have performed an illegal operation."
   7. The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.
   8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you s simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
   9. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
  10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

I tried it and the program locked up. I will stick with Safari.
