You All Must Get Firefox. (3 Viewers)

[Wild Dan Hibiki]

btw, firefox still seems to be a bit dodgy with flash, the site loads to 100% but nothing happens

Apparently there is another program that tweaks FFox....i forgot where i saw it ....

Search for firefox tweaks in google. If you type 'about: config' in the address bar of firefox, you can customise more or less everything, once you find one of the many guides that tell you what each value does.

Few of the sites with .php endings don't work with firefox, do I need some sort of plug-in? It works fine with Internet Explorer. But other than that, I like firefox a lot.

What sites would they be?

The file extension isn't the problem, it would most likely be javascript in the page or some sort of bad code. I agree with sunny, if you can link us to the sites, we can help you determine how to fix it

"You all must get Firefox"

SO TRUE.
Iv used it for ages now, netscape b4. I have never had any problems with it, it is the ultimate browser, especially the tabs and instant popup killer.

I had to use IE for a while.... i lasted about 4 days.
Firefox is also much more secure.

i'm currently using firefox to but seemingly, pages with frames don't work too well

I love firefox, except for two things from a site designers point of view:
1. Fonts are different sizes to that of IE, and some other browsers - which is sorta expected, but a real pain when the CSS coding i use makes sites i design look completely different in Firefox than it does in IE.
2. Setting the width of objects is usless because firefox dosnt do it - this is a Firefox only problem, my coding works in all other browsers ive tried. (checkout the menu bar on http://users.coscom.net/~jkirsop/tntemp to see what I mean - view it in IE and Firefox). I've tried to resolve this problem, but couldn't and had to scrap the drop down menus I designed because they didnt match up in firefox because of the fact that I couldnt set an object width in CSS.

You can't take back the Internet without breaking a few eggs.

lol.. so true, it'd just be good if they used css code that seems standard and allowed firefox to pass it. i spent a good few hours working on the drop downs, and it all went to waste!! - still looks alright though, and the clients are still happy.

Firefox is great especially with the Ad-Blocker extension!

 

[SashatheMan]

if firefox gets too popular it will be like IE and attract hackers.

I dont think firefox will out run IE for a while - since IE is included with Windows, and Firefox is not included with any operating system (that I know of).
The new anti-spyware thing from microsoft claims firefox is spyware - or so ive heard and it urges you to delete it ASAP - so I think IE will still dominate for a while!

Firefox is part of a default install of Ubuntu that I know of, not sure if it's included with anything else as of yet, but I'm sure it's getting there.

And yeah, the entire MS Spyware detecting Firefox thing is a joke, though seeing as it isn't funny I can see why people would be confused. (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/02/27/1522245&from=rss)

The linux distributions I've used have all come with firefox.
