    I use it because it's safer (not as big a target as IE) but I dig the tabbed browsing experience now.

    IE is faster for loading most web pages but Firefox is more stable IMO and is more user friendly. Especially for plug-in's (aka extensions).

    Firefox + the following extensions: No Script, Adblock - one of the safest surfing modes available currently; the now free Opera browser may also be of interest...

    FYRFOX IS DAT SHIT. not only is it safe, but the tabbed browsing and little customizeable search box at the top right are SERIOUS

    Yes, but no...

    IE only beats out other browsers in loading pages that were specifically written for IE (most of the pages out there were either written with IE only in mind or solely tested on IE). Most open standard pages will load faster in Firefox.

    FIREFOX FOR LIEF RIGHT HERE... Hated the browser hijacks with IE... but I do think IE loads web pages way faster. Tabbed browsing on Firefox is ill as well. Tried getting with Opera and just didn't jibe with me.

    There needs to be a Soulstrut Firefox Search Engine top right corner thing!

    This is a good time to ask, who (what?) the hell is the "not a good look" guy? It looks like a Michael Jackson Oompa Loompa. Where does it come from?

    Isn't there a modified version called "faster fox"?
    I think it caches all linked website while it's idle running(?) so you can surf faster.

    !!!

    You got me right there!

  • used firefox for a long time until i upgraded to the latest version when the display went all wrong. switched to opera which also has tabbed browsing, and now soulstrut loads reaaaally slowly since the redesign. why? this forum is now almost unusable thru opera??? i.e. sucks.

    I think yall should try Maxthon browser.
    It has all the features Firefox has and many more, and it's way better than Firefox imo.
    Its only problem is that it's based on IE.





    Peace

    IE will perform better under Windows because it's built into the Windows shell but beyond that...

    I would recommend Firefox to anyone on a PC but be sure to keep up with all the updates.

    I was happily using Opera aswell before it turned into a crackhoe..
    Seriously, shit would just crash when it felt like it and half the scripts suddenly didnt work anymore, so was I was viewing all script related sites in IE again.

    Firefox seems to be the real schitt though. I'm not looking back!
    I'm just missing that trashcan function you had in opera. Its pretty handy
    I bet there is some FF plugin that does about the same... just need to find it

    FFRelatedQ: Can anyone hook me up with that gemm & popsike searchengine??? PLEAASEE?

    I've never never never had that problem with Opera. Guaranteed it was your computer. Opera is flawless like jesus. What version were you using? Do you know how many extensions you would need in Firefox to do what Opera can?

    whatev..

    This is how I see SoulStrut in Opera:




    Does anyone know how I set Opera to display the text in the left margin?
    Thanks in advance.

    Same thing over here, that's why I use FOX

    You use firefox, because of a compatibility problem with soulstruts coding? lame.

    It looks like a post doesn't have table properties so it inherits the properties of it's parent table. It can be easily fixed by editing the CSS class "post" to have a left alignment.
