    Lindz is the yay of my day. And I agree with pretty much everything he's said. And seriously, if someone isn't smart enough to know not to go to virus infested sites then they aren't smart enough to know to say "no" when Firefox or whatever prompts them saying "Would you like to install this virus? It will format your hard drive."

    The main thing I'll agree on that I haven't pointed out beforehand is how ugly it is. Do they have a Firefox theme that looks exactly like IE? Because they should. The reason I would never change theme - even if I could - is because I think the existing layout of IE is faultless.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Never used Firefox. I trust IE. I've only gotten three viruses since using IE and they were all easily contained and deleted. I really see no problem with it.

    END OF DISCUSSION!

    Windows standards means use IE, use Microsoft Word to write documents, use Microsoft Media Player for videos and music.

    All I use out of those is IE though, I use Lotus for documents, or maybe Notepad and Winamp for music and DivX for videos.

    And BoB is my yay of the day for actually writing what's good about IE, rather than just stating that he agrees with me in a single sentence.

    Firebird is good for the people who don't have the best protection on their computer and don't like pop-up. I only have a spy-ware checker and an anti-virus thing. I get viruses all the time with IE. I haven't gotten one yet with Firebird. I think Firebird looks nice. It looks like IE, except more colourful.

    You and your people have forsaken all that which is holy and good - you have never embraced it! I will not turn before your assault, for I shall speak unto you, and make yourself turn unto me, and the redemption you shall find in the Fox.

    For hath not Unne spoken? For <i>hath</i> not Unne <i>spoken</i>? I ask thee, and thee, and thee, you who are here! <i>HATH</i> not Unne <i>SPOKEN</i>? And I say to you, YES, Unne has SPOKEN! And he hath not spoken to me, and he hath not spoken to himself, <i>NO</i>, Unne is speaking to YOU...! UNNE is SPEAKING to YOU, Lindz and BoB and Raine! UNNE is SPEAKING to YOU! Listen to his words! <i>List</i>en... To the Fox! Liiisten to the word of the Fox! Search your souls, all who have come here, I say to thee, search thine soul! Seaaarch thine soul, I say, SEARCH thine soul, and embrace, I say, embrace the Fire you find there! Embrace that Fire, and that fire shalt make you free again! Embraaace that Fire!

    I use Mozilla. I find no problems with it. Last night, Mozilla didn't log me out after every page. I liked that. Going to a page that Squall-fan1tehe posted in didn't send me to an infinitely-repeating page that sang "You are an idiot." I don't use IE, I use MSN Explorer initially, because my dial-up screen automatically opens it. But MSN Explorer is never touched after that, I open up Firefox, and can go about my business as usual. I don't have any themes for it, I say who gives a damn? It's fine the way it is.

    I like firebird. Anyways, I never went to any of those dodgy sites you keep mentioning, nad yet still go viruses and popups. PLus, I rather like the tab system, all the windows annoy me, plus it's quicker to work the tabs than eack individual window.

    Firefox is loading sites really slow at the moment. Like, 10 minute a page at EoFF. I don't know why, because IE is still going normal. IE is still a crashy bitch whereas Firefox is nice and stable, but I need my sites loading past please.

    IE's always been slower for me.
