This was released yesterday in case anyone didn't see it. Nothing major has been added, it's mostly bug fixes. It won't keep your bookmarks when you uninstall an older version, so be careful.

It's 3% faster!

Heh heh...

A little story. Yesterday I got really pissed off when IE started giving me popups even though I hadn't started it up. For example, I was playing Natural Selection and I would be playing and just minding my own business, when, all of a sudden getting popups that made the game minimize! At that point I just shredded the entire Internet Explorer program folder out of pure disgust. It was only a few hours later that I realized how much I need a web browser. Hence a search on the internet for a replacement. (Using MSN Explorer, which I dont think counts as a real web browser, and no one should have to have the displeasure of using)

Enter Firefox, a program I had never heard of. So far, my time on the web has increased in quality by about 10X. Thankyou, Mozilla Firefox. [addsig]

That last line sounds so much like one of those annoying "Lose 200 pounds in 10 days" ads, it's scary

It starts up with windows, taking that it's the main interface for file browsing. [addsig]

I'm 'dead set' agains using IE for internet browsing, as most people who don't like IE are. But you don't have a choice with certain things. Like Window's Update. [addsig]

i feel for you "dead set" people.. but support your decisions..

question: is there any reason why someone could not have multiple browsers installed? i mean, if i took a chance on this firefox, its not gonna crash the IE browser i like is it?

Nope there are no problems running two - the only issue you may want to think of is Firefox might try to set itself as the default browser on your computer, but you will be given the option to stop this, and you can change it at any time.

I have both IE and Firefox and they work in perfect harmony.

I have IE (obviously, it's built in), Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape. and they're fine.

All you have to remember is that Mozilla, firefox, and Netscape share the same profile. so you have to make a new one for each.

Also, mozilla/firefox, imports your IE favorites ... Personally I like the full versions of Mozilla and not so much the betas (firefox). [addsig]

Firefox takes way longer to load images than IE does for me. With IE I don't even notice it load it goes fast enough, Firefox takes a while no matter what the server. [addsig]

IE does not start up with my Windows any longer, seeing as I deleted it.

...And as far as speed, there is no noticeable difference between Firefox and IE for me... [addsig]
