[I Fix 4 U]

windowblinds makes firefox look neat to. hey, just go into the browser settings and run check for updates. it should also check for extension/plugin updates. i know when i installed it had to search for updates to tabbrowser and ablock. thankfully it found them and my plugins work. (is there any permanent way to use nuke anything, or are they working on it) or on the other side, does adblock have any way to stop text.

I downloaded Firefox 1.0 today and in my Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox 2 shortcuts are listed, one is Mozilla Firefox and the other is Mozilla Firefox [Safe Mode]. What is the difference between these 2? I did a search at the Mozilla site and I couldn't find an answer.

Yes, Firefox is much better than IE. I have never gotten an add before, and it prevents every single security risk their is. It has a nicer interface, saves a little room on the screen, and loads faster (the program and the sites). And remember, don't forget to still like the crappy programs Windows makes, because without them, people would start exploiting Firefox.

Safe mode will use a default configuration and have most things disabled, in the event you add something to firefox and crash it.

So Safe Mode is a backup browser, that could become useful. Thanks

yah, lets say you install a buggy extension (it may happen they are being developed), and your browser won't open or crashes. You can run safemode, uninstall the extension, and then reopen normal mode. There yah go, failsafe.

Give em a couple of weeks on extensions---they are being updated as we speak.

Downloaded FireFox 1.0 after my friends saying how great it was. I really like it, this program will be a keeper.

I just downloaded ff this AM, and haven't added any extensions, add-ons yet, and I already am very impressed. I DL it last year, but didn't like it, and found it counter-intuitive. Now it seems intuitive, fast, I might even say elegant with my short exposure. I will play with it, modify it, tweak it for the next couple of days, but so far it seems like it will be the way I will go. It's so nice to see open source evolve into something so neat. If I were MS, I would be scared, very scared.

Is anyone also using Thunderbird? Any complaints, comments, suggestions?

[KeithKman]

I just downloaded Thunderbird. I like it a lot. Super fast.

Has anyone figured a way to OE to open Firefox instead of IE from a link?

File types .htm and .html set to Firefox.exe and defaults are set.......
