Surely the superior security of Firefox is reason enough to use it?
When I'm skipping between forums, I first open all the threads I want to in new tabs, then I use the breadcrumb links at the top to jump to another forum, where I repeat as necessary.
Which works just as fine with IE7.Originally Posted by o_O
Surely the superior security of Firefox is reason enough to use it?
When I'm skipping between forums, I first open all the threads I want to in new tabs, then I use the breadcrumb links at the top to jump to another forum, where I repeat as necessary.
I've had a total of 2 security breaches in a decade, both of which were still on a Win 98 unprotected system. Security has proven to be very decent with IE in my case.
I did consider switching to Firefox because of the better navigation back in 2005, but after they've included the tabs and the search bar in the new IE, the wish faded.
There's always the 'lol you have to run at least xp sp2' aspect of IE7 to contend with.
Also it's like two and a half times the size to download!
And its incapability to deal with CSS in quite as an acceptable manner as Firefox (or most other browsers).
And of course the whole "if you run Windows you run IE whether you like it or not" thing. :{

And if you want a new post notification for <i>every</i> thread that you have posted in, you can also go to your User CP > Edit Options > and choose Instant email notification for your Default Thread Subscription Mode.It's not much trouble, really. When you reply to a thread, checkout the "Thread Subscription" text box below the posting field.Yeah i was looking for some sort of subscription thing to like tell me when new posts are written but if its too much trouble then ill just carry on the way i am now...Thanks

Why would I run SP1 in the first place? And how is the download size a criteria for the quality of the browser. You get it once and that's pretty much it.:rolleyes2
Do you know any pages that don't run on IE7 properly? I don't.And its incapability to deal with CSS in quite as an acceptable manner as Firefox (or most other browsers).

Guys, this thread is not about IE or Firefox, but you can start another thread on that.

*abuses mod powers and ignores leeza for one last reply ;DDDD*Do you know any pages that don't run on IE7 properly? I don't.
IE7 displays my site incorrectly?
That's good, JaffamitsuWhich way did you choose?
I just have it set so that every thread I reply to I automatically subscribe to. I used to use instant e-mail notification but that got annoying, so all I do is just go to my subscribe threads when I want to see any new posts in said threads.
Trying out the thread subcription...

About 6 years ago, email subscription used to be turned on by default when you posted in a thread. I didn't know that, so I ended up with altogether too many emails in my inbox to tell me a post was made in a thread which I posted in but probably don't remember making because it was one out of lots.
Email subscription is bad. :{
Livejournal has a system that will IM you when you have new comments etc.
