Firefox or IE?

[Ant]

Firefox, but when I want to see videos I have to fuckin' use IE, piece of motherfucking bullshit bitch

What videos are you trying to see?  I've never had a problem, check this page though you might need to DL the appropriate program.

^ mozilla, opera & microsoft are working together to make plugins from one browser compatible in another

IE doesn't download the spyware, its the user authorising it to do so

on another note, anyone have issues with firefox not loading pages when you open up ~20 tabs?

1.  IE uses a plug-in system to modify its browser.  Firefox has extensions.  One of the main selling points of firefox is that its built to be extensible, users can easy write their own extensions to modify its performance.  This is not the case with IE, there are a few different plug-ins that are usually fairly clumsy and obnoxious, they aren't developed by inidivual users, but by corporations usually.  Mozilla and Microsoft are not making these products compatible cross platform.  They may be working to make stuff like Real Player, Windows Media Player, Quicktime, and Acrobat cross platform plugins, but thats the extent of it.

go here to see all the extensions that are exclusive to Firefox.... these can't be ported over to Microsoft since FF doesn't even develop them, end users do, its up to the users to make these extensions cross platform, but the way IE is developed its too hard for people to even bother.  https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox

2.  IE before SP2 would DL spyware all day without the user even knowing it was going on.  Now I'm not so sure. 

3.  Why would you want to open  20 tabs? lol

So is there any solution to the picture problem? Like when there's a lot of large photos on a page, you're not able to view them.

well, i run a 3500 user network all with IE browsers & don't have any issues

why do i open 20 tabs? makes reading forums easier .. so i don't have to look at one topic, hit the back button etc.. just right click -> open in new tab on the topic .. makes it much easier

I'm not really sure what problems you are referring to, I haven't experienced any, but if you want a better solution than switching between IE and FF try this..


IE Tab Extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1419&application=firefox

Embed Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox. See the pic for an example...


There is another one called IE View that solves the problem too, but IE Tab seems much cooler...

BTW... another reason why FF is and will continue to be better than IE...

It's now being developed by Google.

Here's a list of other extensions that I personally like..

Google Suggest - Integrates Google Suggest functionality into your firefox search box.  It will auto suggest alternative keywords as you type.
http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/extensions/

Customize Google - One of the best FF extensions.  Lets you totally manipulate google, and makes Google Suggest the default setting for your google searches.  Plus does a bunch of other cool shit.

Gmail Delete Button - Adds a delete button to GMail.  Really helpful if you use GMail

The picture problem is fixed in version 1.5
Release Candidate 3 is out now, the final version will be out in a few days..

just right click -> open in new tab on the topic .. makes it much easier

Or better yet, click the mousewheel, opens the link in a new tab.

I don't get it.  I use IE and don't know what could be wrong with it.  It's fast, never get spyware, I don't notice any problems with it.

I guess I'll try Firefox and see if I notice a difference.
