No worries guys, I didn't even know Mozilla existed until my boyfriend said I should download it.
I have to say, its pop-up blocker is better than the windows one. It doesn't tell you it has blocked a pop-up, it just does it. Who cares if a pop-up gets blocked? I don't need to know, I just want every (advertising) pop-up on the internet to die a quick yet excrutiatingly painful death. It still doesn't block this particularly aggressive pop-up at ezboard though... I hate that pop-up. But yay, Mozilla rules! It's easy to manage your settings too, like which passwords you want it to remember, or which sites you allow pop-ups for, etc. The only think I can't figure out is how to set the startup page.

Thanks JD! Preferences is found in the Edit menu in Mozilla.
EDIT: Go here and see if you get a pop-up.

Aha, that's why. That's so clever of ezboard... yet so evil... oh well. It's not like I really pay attention to whatever the popup thing says anyway.
I'm very impressed with Mozilla, except I also notice that when you add code or click a smilie at Entmoot, it doesn't put it where your cursor is (like IE), but it always puts it at the end. Oh well, I've taken to typing complex posts in Word first anyway.

I have Firefox.. got it becasue IE didn't work well, it was a few months ago. When you had 2 IE windows, it closed the older one. It was extremely annoying, especially when there were pop-ups.. it closed the winodow you were using.
So I downloaded both Firefox and Netscape, and I'm using Firefox right now... I like the tabs very much, it's much easier.. there was an article about Firefox in the paper two days ago, that said 6% of the people use Firefox now (which was impressive, apparently), and that the new IE has tabs too. Oh - forgot to mention, that I had Firefox for some time - so when I downloaded the new one, it deleted all the bookmarks I had in the old one and took the favourties of IE.

I'm so in love with Opera right now. You can navigate with only your keyboard or only your mouse. Or you can just use your microphone and navigate with your voice and skip both the keyboard and mouse!

I used to use Netscape, but now I use Firefox, mainly because it opens much more quickly than Netscape. I don't know how people can live without tabbed browsing. And IE always gets infected with spyware...ugh! Oh, and Firefox has pretty themes. I have Silver Skin going at the moment.

I've been using Firefox for several months now and I don't know how I did without it. Tabs rock and so does having the search feature so handy. I love that you can also add a lot of your favorite sites to the search (I have IMDB and several others).

Yup, I'm still on Firefox, and my favourite features are the tabs, the personal toolbar, and the bookmark manager.

IE6 for PC/laptop
Opera for phone Bleh @ tabs. I have IE7 Beta on one of my PCs and Firefox on my laptop, but those were just inquisitive whim installations. |

I started using Firefox after it hit 1.0, but the memory consumption issues eventually got way out of hand and may have been partly responsible for frying my last computer. (Then again, with the way the caching works in Firefox, memory usage is bound to be a problem when you open as many tabs at once as I do.)
I use Safari now, because the RSS-reading features are absolutely indispensable. (The interface is also integrated with OS X's look and feel, and the font rendering is much better.) There are, however, two significant deficiencies in it that I hope get addressed. - Selective pop-up blocker: I want to allow pop-ups on a list of websites where I need them, and block pop-ups everywhere else. Firefox lets me do this. Safari doesn't. - Custom search keywords: I like typing "wp blahblahblah" to search for "blahblahblah" on Wikipedia, and so on and so forth. I found a custom plug-in that lets me do this in Safari like I can in Firefox/Camino, but it's a temporary solution, because it's bound to break in OS X Leopard. It should say something (positive) that I'm willing to put up with these inconveniences just so I can have Safari's RSS features at my beck and call. I still keep copies of Firefox and its OS X cousin Camino around, though, mostly for testing purposes.

IP, first of all great to see you back- and you're really digging up the oldies, aren't you?
What is it with Firefox's memory?- I'm just starting to have problems with it
