Oh, and I use firefox, its the best browser I've used.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/timmy_the_turtle/icons/groovy.gif ----------------------------------- Maverick Tue Sep 21, 2004 4:22 pm ----------------------------------- bleh i use b0th, i hate downloading the gh3y fiefox plugins ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Sep 22, 2004 2:44 pm ----------------------------------- bleh i use b0th, i hate downloading the gh3y fiefox plugins what's wrong with you :roll: firefox all the way hooah! ----------------------------------- Maverick Wed Sep 22, 2004 3:41 pm ----------------------------------- no ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Sep 22, 2004 4:32 pm ----------------------------------- I agree with you Genesis, IE and Windows Explorer are diffrent, but they do sorta act the same. Oh, and I use firefox, its the best browser I've used.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/timmy_the_turtle/icons/groovy.gif actually, if u open windows explorer, u'll notice "iexplore.exe" in ur task manager. ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Sep 22, 2004 6:02 pm ----------------------------------- I am prity shure even tho it may not be the same exe file that IE and the file browser for windows XP share alot of the same code to the point that they are almost the same other then one has been tweaked for files and one for the web. That is if they are not the same exe excatly to being with..... ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Sep 22, 2004 6:31 pm ----------------------------------- iexplore.exe handles both. Notice how you can go from file view to internet just by typing a url in the address bar (this is the only thing that IE wins on in the war with Firefox). Also, if you have spyware toolbars, chances are they will be on both. ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Sep 22, 2004 6:32 pm ----------------------------------- ... I dunno... one is EXPLORE.exe, another is iexplore.exe, but explore.exe, I think is in all windows task managers, and if u end task it, ur start bar goes away for a while, and then it re executes. BUT if u type an URL in the windows explorer address bar, it will go to that site... and there's no difference between that and internet explorer. ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Sep 22, 2004 6:40 pm ----------------------------------- EXPLORE.exe is the windows shell i think and not the file browser. ----------------------------------- Martin Thu Sep 23, 2004 11:12 am ----------------------------------- Explore is the random windows crash manager. ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Sep 23, 2004 4:59 pm ----------------------------------- I mean the %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Sep 24, 2004 5:52 pm ----------------------------------- I mean the %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe So did i :wink: ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Sep 24, 2004 5:55 pm ----------------------------------- SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!! http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=6078 ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Sep 24, 2004 6:20 pm ----------------------------------- *cough*spam*cough* Any how it looks like it could be due to a tool bar but idk, i whould just reisntall it. ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Sep 24, 2004 7:48 pm ----------------------------------- tried it.. nothing ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Sep 24, 2004 7:49 pm ----------------------------------- is there a way to remove all plugins? ----------------------------------- shorthair Thu Oct 07, 2004 3:37 pm ----------------------------------- is use Konqourer , its phenomenal , i love firefox , but i cant find a reason to migrate to it ----------------------------------- zomg Wed Nov 17, 2004 12:35 pm ----------------------------------- does firefox have pop up blocking? ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Nov 17, 2004 1:31 pm ----------------------------------- yes ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Nov 17, 2004 1:51 pm ----------------------------------- Take some time and read their website and etc to find out info.

Opera is quite a bit faster. ----------------------------------- s3arkay Fri Jun 16, 2006 8:25 pm ----------------------------------- I use firefox all the time now, i like the tab thing ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jun 19, 2006 8:49 pm ----------------------------------- I use firefox all the time now, i like the tab thing If you think that's cool, check out this: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/12/ Mouse gestures. By right clicking and dragging the mouse in different ways you can do different things with the browser, such as opening/closing tabs/windows, going forward and back and so on. Very useful. Also, you should install adblock and the filter set updater to never see an advertisement again. ----------------------------------- codemage Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:22 am ----------------------------------- ...a feature they copied from Opera, I might add. Love the extensions though. The newest version of Opera is supposed to support "widgets" aka extensions, BTW. ----------------------------------- vTm Mon Oct 16, 2006 2:11 pm ----------------------------------- Firefox I lile it better than IE 6 & Opera.

I like the look of it, easy to use, and mouse gestures and imbedded google search tool. Opera all the way. ----------------------------------- axej Wed Oct 18, 2006 7:46 pm ----------------------------------- agreed opera looks a lot better than firefox interfacewise in my opinion ----------------------------------- jrblast Fri Feb 09, 2007 10:34 pm RE:Firefox ----------------------------------- I use firefox, I heard operas better and would probably agree if I tried it but I'm too lazy to do that lol, but I do use IE for web development since it is very widely used but things wont display correctly in IE unless you do a whole lotta extra work, so I make sure it works right in Ie then it works everywhere :P ----------------------------------- haskell Sat Feb 10, 2007 10:37 am RE:Firefox ----------------------------------- K-Meleon is the best web browser bar-none. It is 100% customizable, runs on the Gecko Engine, and it has all the features people love and adore about the other browsers into one. It is quick and minimalistic though. And it has Mouse Gestures, crap-loads of skins and themes, and you can move set up your button layout anyway you want. http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/Features Oh yeah, and you broyght a topic back from the dead jrblast ----------------------------------- Clayton Sat Feb 10, 2007 1:20 pm Re: Firefox ----------------------------------- haskell, this is a topic in Featured Poll, meaning it's not gonna hurt. K-Meleon is for Windows only, meaning it's not the best This leaves Firefox to take somewhere around #1 ----------------------------------- haskell Sat Feb 10, 2007 4:14 pm RE:Firefox ----------------------------------- Platform doesn't matter. We're talking about an application, not a bias :p. ----------------------------------- Clayton Sat Feb 10, 2007 4:55 pm Re: Firefox ----------------------------------- platform most certainly does matter. If you make something available to some people and not others, it's not the best out there. ----------------------------------- haskell Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:03 pm RE:Firefox ----------------------------------- It is a available to everyone. Anyone can, in theory, use it. It just hasn't been ported yet(but it will be ported). Being multi-platform isn't even a real factor in being the best. Infact, being the best is a mere opinion of an individual or group. Let's say, hypothetically, that I have a 100% cure for any type of cancer. It only works on North Americans, but it will be made to work for others in the near future. Jjust because it only works for North Americans now, is there any better medication that works against cancer? Since the criteria is working against cancer, than no, there isn't. Making this particular medication the "best out there" against cancer, despite only being usable by North Americans. ----------------------------------- Clayton Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:13 pm Re: Firefox ----------------------------------- that's the thing though, it's the only one out there, making it the best by default ----------------------------------- haskell Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:24 pm RE:Firefox ----------------------------------- Yeah, it was a crappy example.
