firefox is fucking awesome. i've been using it for about a year and a half now. shortly after switching over to it from IE, i noticed that FF is quicker, more clean with its looks, and just a much better overall product. then microsoft tried ripping it off by copying its features. it resulted in a clunky, slow, piece of shit browser. plus, firefox tends to block out more than half of the shit internet explorer can't seem to keep out, especially when i'm looking at porn.

In some sites i have some problems with FF that with IE i don't have.
Finally. Netscape was the only browser that ever succeeded in making IE6 look like a good thing. Remember the dark ages of Netscape Navigator 4, when it wouldn't render CSS in predictable fashions? Worst. Browser. Ever.
If you are having problems with a site in FF that you're not having in IE, it means either the site writer coded in Frontpage (frontpage is good at using things that only IE6 can parse, its a deliberate move by microsoft) or ActiveX. You don't want frikkin ActiveX anyway.

true, but for me, those kinds of sites are few and very far between. i cannot see myself using internet explorer until mozilla really fucks up and internet explorer becomes a better option.

that barley if ever happens to me maybe once out of every 100 thousand pages i view ..... either way they have a plugin called ie tab which is self explanatory and works quit well
I remember back in the day using Netscape growing up. We used Netscape in the schools, and if we wanted to bypass the net blockage we go use IE and vice versa when we stopped using Netscape, but all together they secured both of them. Ha ha ha! I'd have to thank Netscape for the good times, but it's sad to see them drown in the pool they built themselves.
For firefox, search IE tab for add-ons, so that if you go to a page that is better in IE, just right click and it will say, "View page in IE" very useful tab.
Netscape and Firefox are two implementations of Mozilla. Netscape is/was the original brand name. The Firefox brand name arose after Netscape went under and Mozilla was sold off.

Usually that’s because the web site has hooks to Microsoft Proprietary technology. It’s a holdover from a few years ago when Microsoft was actively attempting a hostile takeover of the internet.
Basically Microsoft would deliberately introduce technologies that broke with W3C compliance. When you make a web site with these technologies you can’t open the site properly in a standards compliant web browser. It’s an attempt to force consumers to use IE, then force web site developers to pay them for the technology to serve up pages that could be viewed properly in IE. I believe this is part of the recently filed EU antitrust suit against Microsoft.
This is similar to what the lawsuit MS lost over Java support. Microsoft introduced changes into the Java engine they put into Windows. The net effect was that developers had to choose between writing Java that would run on Windows or writing Java that would run anyplace else. The whole process was designed to delay and destabilize Java long enough to get their own competing proprietary technology off the ground so they could continue to make it almost impossible from a technical standpoint for users to switch to any competitors product. (This is considered a vertical monopoly and violates anti-trust regulations just about everywhere.)
IE and Firefox both have their strengths and weaknesses. Firefox is customizable and easy to use, but soaks up memory like a piece of bread dropped in a bowl of soup and has average at best security. IE is solid all around and has far better security, at least is you are one of the 10 people out there that knows how to configure it right. If not it can be a bit of a mess.
As for netscape, well at the end it wasn't much more than firefox with a skin over it and still managed to suck ass. That's not an easy task, and it should be honored for being that horrible. My mom will be very sad to hear netscape is going because that is her favorite browser to load up my parents computer with crippling malware.

Wow... the number of things wrong with this post. There's almost no statement in there that is actually true.

Mozilla is working on a fix (data leakage flaw) for it's Firefox browser that gives hackers unauthorized access to data on victim's machines.
M$ is forcing a new version of IE7 in February through an automatic update. Beware if one wants to keep IE6 and have auto update enabled.
Meanwhile M$ has finally shiped versions of it's next OS Windows 7 (ie. Blackcomb/Vienna) last week. (Due wide retail mid 2009.) The current M1 drop is available to Microsoft partners in English only and has shipped in x86 and x64 versions. An interesting feature that has been highlighted by Microsoft is the ability of the M1 software to handle a heterogeneous graphics system consisting of multiple graphics cards from different vendors. A new version of the Media center is already integrated in this software, but supports PC speakers only at this time. So far, we have heard only about new touchscreen features as well as and probably most interesting MinWin core, a much smaller kernel of the operating system that takes up only 40 MB of memory. (Wxp uses 220MB !)

There's a reason we call it Firefix on the Tech team at work.

Since the new version of IE came out i have been using that.
I was not defending IE.....
Remember people, Netscape was the father of all the browsers, respect it!!
For firefox, search IE tab for add-ons, so that if you go to a page that is better in IE, just right click and it will say, "View page in IE" very useful tab.
~Greatness~

Firefox is best. With some addons you got the most awesome web browser ever!

I tried using Netscape, and It always just lagged and had problems with it. So now I'm mainly using IE and Firefox.
