Originally posted by WildfireThat was my favorite part. As I said before, mine was an isolated incident I believe. There could have been some type of file confliction on my pc which caused the problem. I doubt you'll experience the same.
Alright, I've made the switch and I am currently on this site using Firefox. I see no problems thus far, and the 'tab' option is quite convenient.

Mine sometimes creates new instances of itself (but I don't know if they are in the background). And it sometimes quits without warning or request to send an error report. I like it for the extensions though, and the download manager is cool.
Safari on the Mac seems to be even better as each tab has a close box and you can one-click close unactive tabs.

Beware the hype.

I've been using FF for months, just like over 8O million others.
I also use Opera which is also great.
As already said, after a couple of weeks you'll wonder how you managed without it.

Hey what gives! I finally downloaded firefox (My brothers been at me for ages!) and now it says something or other about not being able to connect? Is there more to it?
Edit:
Connecion was refused while attempting something or other

There seem to be conflicting answers about Firefox. Some say it's great, while others condemn it as a piece of crap. I think I'll give it a try, and if it doesn't work the way everyone says it should, I'll go back to IE.

I recently got it and it is rubbish. Everytime i close it i have to re-login to RHP and everytime i navigate away from my games it resets the settings so it stops displaying only games on my move. Unless there is some kind of patch out there, rubbish.
Also have you tried the others listed, non mozilla ones? Any
experience with those?

Firefox is infinitely better than IE. People who say otherwise haven't taken the time to iron out any wee problems that they may have had, or else they don't have the know how. Its a pity.
Some top extensions: Scrapbook, Tabbrowser preferences, CustomizeGoogle, NoScript.
I'd give Firefox 9.5/10. IE: 4/10. After using Firefox for a while now, I'm disgusted when I have to use IE on a friends computer.

I've been using Firefox and Thunderbird without any problems for nearly 2 years now.
