Title: Firefox AND IE
andiesmama - December 22, 2006 02:09 PM (GMT)
Opinions? I've found an at-home job BUT I need Firefox. I currently use IE.
Is Firefox ok or full of problems? Anything I should be aware of?
Can I keep IE on the computer AND Firefox?
Thanks!! :tease:

We use Firefox and still have IE installed on the computer. We haven't had any problems with it.

FF and IE?? same system?
Of course...
FF is WAY better IMHO....
Should keep IE on your computer for Window Updates....
I use FF about 99% of the time....

Tabbed browsing....extensions.
All things IE7 is now trying to copy....
IMHO, you're not a savvy surfer unless your using the fox.

Well, I was curious, so I downloaded FireFox...MSN had this security warning pop up, so it couldn't download onto the computer.
andiesmama - December 22, 2006 07:11 PM (GMT)
Hey, if sitting here searching for people who are too lazy to do it themselves and make money off it makes me a dweeb, so be it..... :cheeky:

child? I'll let that one go, pukeboy... :box:
FF - a much better browser, but don't leave it up and running when you leave the machine. IE's a resource hog. (in lay-person's terms, that means it uses a lot of computer stuff it really doesn't need). IE7 is much worse than IE6.
I like FF because the application itself loads quicker than IE7, it loads pages quicker and I can run other things like OpenOffice (a free, open-source Office system) while I'm on the net. IE uses too much memory and CPU time, so I can only run IE and nothing else.
Oh, by the way, if I could ever get ChaCha to work, I might like it too. It's a more complete search system.

Are you still having problems with it? I've been on alot the past few days & it hasn't been buggy for me.....much.... :)

I click on "Accept Search" within seconds of it popping up - then about two minutes goes by and I see "Search complete" at the top of the screen.
I read some more of the thread - apparently I missed an entire page when I made my last post...
Yeah, M$ doesn't want you to use something else. So, they build all kinds of 'features' into their browser that keep you from doing something like installing another browser.
There should be a yellow bar at the top. Right-click on the yellow bar and say "Download File". Then you'll be good to go.
Oh - and Pukeboy doesn't want to admit he doesn't know how to solve your problem. :thanks:
