October 27, 200619 yr http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ I still can't get windows media player applications (streaming ones especially) to work right with Firefox.
October 28, 200619 yr Now with spell check! more bloatware. .......gar Not that I mind such features, as long as it doesn't bloat up the program performance-wise - and as as long as I can shut them off. I get increasingly irritated, however, by companies seeming need to cram more and more "stuff" into their software, when all I want is the basics/minimum. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
October 28, 200619 yr Now with spell check! Wow, firefox just saved the internet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some extensions still do not work with FF2 (Imageshack toolbar, for example). Most of the important ones do (McAfee SiteAdvisor, AdBlock, Google BrowserSync, BugmeNot).

October 28, 200619 yr If you have the hard drive space, it shouldn't be an issue. More goodies the better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's is almost never a drive space issue, but rather memory usage and application stability issue. However I seem to have no changes in performance whasoever (using Firefox 2.0 now). Probably it has something to do with me having a Core 2 Duo processor with 2Gb of RAM. "
October 28, 200619 yr Nice. It looks slicker. The spell check is bad because now I get a red line everytime I type...everytime, apparently. Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
October 28, 200619 yr Nice. It looks slicker. The spell check is bad because now I get a red line everytime I type...everytime, apparently. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude - stop polluting my Firefox 2.0 with your ugly line lines. Also, how do we get them to fix the red lines in our post entry box. Knowing we've made a typo is good and all, but I want it fixed, dammit!
October 28, 200619 yr Author Right click the underlined word and it will offer suggestions. I've noticed that it can be a crap shoot sometimes.
October 28, 200619 yr Right click the underlined word and it will offer suggestions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Brilliant! Faith in the world is restored again. Terrorism ends in vain.

October 28, 200619 yr That's is almost never a drive space issue, but rather memory usage and application stability issue. Yes, that's the main technical issue. It doesn't bother me on my pc either...it's a principle thing. I like seperation of function, that's all. If I want a spellchecker, I'll get spell checker. Both hubby and I are funny that way.

October 28, 200619 yr Since my other thread got killed, thanks to everyone for the suggestions. It looks like Firefox wins this round.
October 29, 200619 yr Who DARES move my thread!!?!? May you internet explorer be infected by many viruses <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quiet you. I think I will go upgrade to FF2.0. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
October 29, 200619 yr Just downloaded, and added some add-ons. It's cool. Not anything amazing, but it's cool.

October 29, 200619 yr My Extensions: Adblock IE Tab Answers NoScript TabBrowser Preferences There are a bunch of others that look cool but are either incompatible with FF 2.0 or I know I wouldnt use them much - I've noticed that FF can slow down with loads of installed add-ons. having said that FF 2.0 does load up quite a bit faster than than v1.5.

October 29, 200619 yr I am waiting for FasterFox to get an upgrade to version 2.0. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
October 29, 200619 yr I use Adblock and that's it. I tried the Noscript, and it was pretty cool/useful, but decided adblock was all I really cared about. Plus that boopy noise noscript made by default every time it detected something was annoying. I remember switching it to a funny game-sound for a while. hehe Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
October 29, 200619 yr Just downloaded and am using Firefox 2.0. I gotta say, I wish I had downloaded it earlier. :cool: And unlike Netscape, they actually release the Mac versions of their updates at the same time as the PC versions.
