I feel like smacking you for that. It's A LOT different than IE in my opinion. Well the only that is noticeable is the massive increase in speed over IE on my computer.

I have FF and the wheel on my mouse works fine too. I'd die without the little wheel. xD
And it loads pages fast for me. Maybe it's because I have broadband.
Yeah, I suppose having dialup could play a role in the slowness...Quote:

Not a hemorrhoidal pain in the backside at all.
Security certificates and security holes are completely different things. A certificate is used by the site to prove who they are to you so you can trust them, like if you're buying something online and need to provide card details, for example. A hole is a flaw in the code running behind the browser itself on your PC, and no certificate will fix that.
A malicious site that's gonna exploit a hole almost certainly won't provide you with a certificate asking you to trust them, no point bothering when you can exploit the poor user and take over their PC (or something equally bad) without any user intervention beyond navigating to the site in the first place :p
VirtualDub and Avisynth are the two things that make me refuse to remove Windows from my laptop - I have much more power under Windows when it comes to multimedia editing and production with free software (except perhaps encoding MPEG/MPEG2, but I rarely do that).Quote:

Linux crashing like crazy though is something I've not experienced though. My PC is much much more stable with Linux on - it's only crashed once due to bad RAM, which I easily bypassed with kernel switches to tell it to avoid that area of memory. Any minor crashes or errors due to buggy programs or incorrect configuration haven't taken the system down, unlike in Windows, and almost all are repairable without a reboot, if you're willing to work out how. Error messages are generally more informative too making troubleshooting easier ont he whole. It's only a waste of time if you're not willing to learn the system, and you get much more out of it in the end anyway. I've set my PC up as a router, and I can do much more than what I was capable of when I used to use WinXP for the network gateway.
I have no problem with loading times. It loads quicker than IE, that's for sure. Then again, I do have broadband. But I've fixed computers before, and getting rid of IE really helps most of the problems.Quote:

If ur comp. is slow dont do this, but if u have a fast processor add this code to ur user.js file
// Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
// Enable pipelining:
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);
Got that from the site its great. U change it also by typing in About.config in ur console, and finding those settings.
Also http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts helped me in my FF speed hacks.
I love firefox. My singular complaint about it is that I can't remove the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder from my bookmarks menu.
[Edit] Holy crap, 8 posts between my hitting add reply and posting!
Well in my research i just found a what was described as a probelm with the things i just told u, but i NEVER had any probelms with doing these things. The issue was posted http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007164.html
Why the hell would you want to do that? Mine's filled with sites!Quote:

I don't know if you could delete the other then, I didn't try because I had a couple of links in there.
So I shouldn't remove mine because yours is filled with sites. Makes sense! :DQuote:

I never use mouse gestures, I just threw that in there randomly.Quote:

Works fine for me. I never had a crash in Linux that wasn't recoverable (no reboot required), and even that kind of crash is extremely rare. Waste of time though, yeah, if you don't like tinkering.
Yep...it's probably because I didn't know what the hell I was doing, but I'd rather spend my time using my computer rather than setting it up.Quote:
