I'm having a real problem with Internet Explorer. I'm new to this computer, but have used IE for many years at work. My modem is new, and every time i access the internet, i have either a delay, or the window just freezes. So, i had read about Mozilla's Firefox browser and thought about downloading it. I read up on it, looked at some screen shots, and from what I've seen it looks a lot better than IE.
My question you y'all is if anyone uses it, knows someone who uses it and what feedback you've gotten on Firefox. I'm quite tired of IE's bugs. Tired of a webpage not responding every time i open a window. It froze on my twice while writing this email. I do regular spyware and virus scans, and all those programs are up to date. So i'm looking for feedback from anyone. Thanks.
Freezing up could be a number of problems that can't all be faulted to IE. Do you have the latest version of Windows Service Pack 2, most people should have it by now. My IE seems to work better than it ever had before since I updated it a while back. You can check by clicking on IE "Help" "About IE" and then look at the box for Update Versions, "SP2".
As far as Firefox, I have it but I find some of the features on it are a little bothersome. I wish it had some of the simple features similar to IE like the side toolbar to look for bookmarks and my yahoo e-mail doesn't work well with Firefox.
