Is Firefox For Everyone? - Comments Page 8

My wife and I both have Yahoo e-mail accounts. It has been a bit of a hassle to log out of web-based Yahoo, then log on again to view our respective accounts.

I discovered that if my wife logs onto yahoo through IE, and I log on with Firefox, the respective browsers remember who we are. It has made yahoo e-mailing much easier.

I LOVE FireFox. I hated IE7 and I am not looking forward to the "permanent switch" when it's forced on us. I installed IE7 and my fonts in Outlook became slightly blurred and hurt my eyes. The tabs were nice but not great. The appearance was a little slicker than IE6 but the functionality or lack thereof was too annoying to appreciate it. I cannot use Firefox for everything but I had to uninstall IE7 because it bothered me so badly. However, when I must use IE, I prefer to use it with Avant Browser.

I uninstalled IE 7 because it interfered with eTrust ITM v8. Otherwise 7 is a better browser than 6. Also found certain sites did not recognize IE7. In any case I don't like either IE 6 or 7 or Firefox, and prefer to use Maxthon (MyIE).

There is a problem with Firefox + Yahoo! mail when using a screen resolution of 800 X 600 that cuts off the text on the right and give NO scroll bar. (See the Mozilla discussion forum at: http://tinyurl.com/yn3f6o )
The only way to overcome the problem is to either open the page in Internet Explorer (back where we started) or select View > Page style > No style. You get the scrol bar but the html pix are a mess. I've got IE 7 and have put away Firefox.

Dude I've been using Firefox for a few years and never looked back. I tried the new IE7 when it was beta (bad mistake) and using it now just to get my Windows Updates. I tell people that have Win98 and WinME NEVER USE IE and Outlook since the OS is no longer supported by security updates from MS. //bob

I have been using Firefox since it made 1.0 available. I have had a few rendering problems and a very few browser crashes. Most features work well for me and it autoupdates quietly in the background. It doesn't do windows movies (.wmv), but that is a limitation of my OS. (SuSE 9.2 linux, free version) The included browser (Konqueror) crashed frequently on my computer, so Firefox was a great improvement. Oh, and it was free.

I have Foxfire on my laptop and I hate it. Sorry people but I am old and I am used to IE. I have upgraded IE on my PC and I do like the new one.

I have a Win 2000 Pro OS. I've been using Firefox for some time now. Even when I need IE for banking or credic cards I can switch to IE within Firefox. Please note that IE7 does not load in 2000 Pro. George

I've been using Firefox for almost 2 years without major problems on either my PC (XP Pro) or my Mac (Tiger). I started using it for StumbleUpon, but I stayed with it for its versatility & simplicity. I use IE only when I have to (rarely). I just had a bad experience with IE7 on the PC & had to uninstall it. I'm still trying to clean up that mess. ~Vikki

I've used Firefox since it was introduced and like it. Now using Firefox 2.0. Have kept IE updated, but only for Windows Updates. Decided to update to IE 7 but discovered it has the genuine Windows "reminder" nag slipped in as part of the install. No thanks.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Why would you object to that, unless you're using an illegal copy of Windows? The verification step takes just a few seconds...
