the tabbed browsing is a life saver, only thing that is doing my nut in with firefox is the sorting of the bookmark links, i have it to sort from a > z and by name but id never does it :/

[Jimmy Little]

i have thought about giving it a try, whats the pro's and con's

[daniel_owen_uk]

Pros its 100 x better
Cons ....... err

But seriously tabbed browsing, broken down history (cache, saved passwords, cookies etc), much prettier, not got the security risks of ie, better password saving, great set of extensions, less adaware.

Seriously the list goes on.

As far as cons go, it wont do windows update.

Make the change bobby it makes sense.

Hmmmm I dunnno I have downloaded it and I’m thinking about it, I will test it on my work computer and then see how I go, I don’t have anymore than a 56k at home

Hmmmm shall i ....

why not install it as a secondary browser & try it yourself? it won't eat your pc or anything

[Crazy Fool]

how do you mean as a secondary browser?

i'm thinking of giving this a go

[Grey M@a]

it's a simple piece of software, not a replacement OS. if it doesn't suit, uninstall it, end of story.

as for memory use, windows loads mshtml.dll into memory when it loads, and counts it as "system", "svchost" and "explorer" to mask its memory useage (windows media player does the same thing)

i see thanks for the info

Getting used to a new browser will take your mind off the cigs anyway m8

Do it Bobby... You'll never look back. Since I tried it, Firefox is now my default browser. IE is only on my system now for those awkward sites that will only accept IE, and to be honest they are getting few and far between.

Just my 2p
