Diamond Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 And I really like this browser. Though Opera is still faster, but it does not have these cool extensions (at least Opera 7), that Firefox has. I am referring to AdBlock (obvious), ForecastFox (displays weather forecast in statusbar with icons), Autocopy (select text to copy), Dictionary Search, bbCode (select text, right click, select a style, applicable to these boards). Add to this others like DOM Inspector, adding more search engines to toolbar, displaying RSS-feed bookmarks as menus... God I really love that browser! Just curious, how many peopla use it?

Just curious, how many peopla use it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Speed up Firefox with broadband connections! "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Firefox is excellent. I can't bear to use IE now, it seems so clumsy and awkward by comparison. And I love Adblock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child of Flame Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Congradulations, you've taken the first step to being able to put on a smug air of internet superiority. Now get your butt working on learning all the hotkeys maggot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayl Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I've been using Firefox for...well, forever. Back when it was still called Firebird. Wouldn't switch away from it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I switched a couple months ago when this one Shaun of the Dead ad was plaguing me on another board. Microsoft will have to do some pretty big improvements if they want me to switch back. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Diamond Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 w00t! I found all the needed extensions, so now Firefox can do all things that Opera can. By the way, does anyone know how to speedup elements of the lists like in Tools > Extensions/Themes? (it takes one second to refresh the list for some reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertHawk Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I think I'm the only one still using IE here. Old habits die hard. The team I've been working with lately isn't very happy I'm still using IE. Heh. <_< Fnord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
