monsnet2k8 Posted October 4, 2005 CID Share Posted October 4, 2005 There's alot of people that download FF and this poll is to find out how many still have it and how many tried it at one point and either have it as a second choice browser or simply didn't like it and got rid of it' Vote on the poll and tell us about your experience with FF.

monsnet2k8 Posted October 5, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 I didn't like it' so i got rid of it' i can't deny that its fast but to my taste its not what im used to and it made some of the websites i visit the most look weird and i didn't like that' as for security reasons i honestly don't care about it' thats why i have AV, Firewall and spyware software to get rid of it' point is IE is my browser of choice and im willing to try FF in a few years when they fix the bugs that pushed me away from it.

raptors892004 Posted October 5, 2005 CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 Even though its not IE, thats maybe the main reason why i like it.. Even though as you said some websites look different, it does not allow any spyware to enter my computer by using some extensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyswhirl Posted October 7, 2005 CID Share Posted October 7, 2005 I must be missing something - I use ff and middle click on the things I want to see. I then go back and look at each tab and when done click on the close box which never moves. I can open 30 windows and read each one, and then close it without moving the mouse. I can look at things a lot faster and with less trouble then using IE. For ex I can middle click on all posts on a forum page and go back and read each one in about a tenth of the time that it would take to do it with IE. I have been using ff for a few years. Also Opera is better then ff and IE. I do not understand why anybody would use IE except the 1 site in 25000 that does not work with ff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptors892004 Posted October 7, 2005 CID Share Posted October 7, 2005 my computer is secured' it looks great and im happy with it' So are you tellin me that FF is so secure that yo dont need plugins and extensions and absoloutely no AV and firewall? If thats the case i'll switch to FF since its so secure' FF protects u against spyware.. After using IE for websites, I had 10 objects that were identified as spyware by ad-aware.. When i use FF i never get anything, even if i go to websites that are from questionable authors and have popups, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptors892004 Posted October 7, 2005 CID Share Posted October 7, 2005 obviously u need antivirus and firewall, but most of those programs do not catch spyware.. If you want to pay for some real-time spyware protection program, go ahead, but meanwhile i'll be avoiding the spyware with FF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
