hope no one still uses IE 5

I never said otherwise. Just mentioned that many people say how much faster mozilla will run compared to IE, and you're the first mozilla user to say otherwise. As for integration, it doesn't matter much to me. I like instantaneous browser start-up. Also, the security flaws don't amount to very much, considering that the end-user usually has to install one of those stupid plug-ins, or download something somewhere.

Actually with the info from the second link i posted.. IF you just happened to Visit that page it will install the key logger, replace your Media Player etc.. without doing nothing more then Visiting it.. So a user can hap hazardly accidently go there.. Also in the email message it was embedded as a IFRAME so all you had to do is read the email in MS Outlook express or Outlook or just read it in the preview plane and guess what it does everything its intended to do without you knowing..

A perfect example is maybe you are smarter then the average person here.. but IE and Outlook and Microsoft has basically caused Spammer's to be able to spam like they do now.. by exploiting all the flaws and bugs and lack of Security is M$ products..

I'm an Opera guy myself. I have used Firefox, but have become really attached to Opera. Anyways, most anything beats Internet Exploder, and Nutscrape Nadinvader (never been too fond of either). Good thing we have alternatives :p

I didn't say anything sooner because I was using IE6 instead of 5. Since this thread started, I've been using Firefox just to see how well it works.

From my recent experiences, I will agree that it is marginally faster than IE6 (more of a difference when going back a page). I REALLY like the way it blocks pop ups. If for no other reason than the pop-up blocking, I have made Firefox my new standard browser.

I basically have found a method to Mimic how to get Firebird to load as fast as IE.. put it in your start menu and have it minimize and then always keep it open.. Because now since its in memory like IE always is.. If you want a new Window it will appear just as fast as IE.. ;o) but thats besides the point.. Just something i wanted to mention to people that always say IE is faster.. of course it is because its ALWAYS in your memory from the moment your computer starts.. Once Mozilla is loaded into memory and running its just as fast..

But other features that you might like.. If you go to a page that you don't wish to see the ad's on. You can right click the image and select Block images from this server.. Which you will no longer get advertisements that come from that server.. another great place to go is
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/

I would recommend installing
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#popupalt
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#adblock
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#mozamazon

The popupalt plugin supports showing text on images via the alt="" attribute.. Which isn't what its actually for and the mozilla people won't support it since its not what its intended.. And the adblock is better adblocking support and of course the Mozilla Amazon Browser.. alot easier to search for stuff on amazon..

Woot! Thanks for sharing!! X3 This is definitely much more powerful than Microsoft's IE. I feel like I was shadowed in the dark.. @_@ .. The only thing I have a problem with is the gray parts you see when you're filling out a form and stuff.. o_o;; is there a way to change this by any chance? x_X;;

Thanks, Schultz! ^-^

PS .. Definitely try this out if you haven't .. I love the whole "search" plug-in.. it's very effective, and useful, since I use dictionary.com and altavista.com all the time~
