Bumps.

Just installed FF. The jury is out,but it seems marginally faster loading Snarkpit.
I will have to evaluate it for a few days to be sure, but if anything speeds up this damned connection I will use it.

Does anyone know if FF has a spellchecker like IE?

Haven't checked myself, but if there is one, it's here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/?application=firefox

Firefox all the way for me. Dedicated search bar (with a range of plugins to search different things), clever URL entry bar that doesn't need full addresses ("snarkpit" gets you here), tabbed browsing (which I used constantly), better security, seems to load websites quicker (due to loading up the content before you images/sounds/etc... I believe). Those are all the reasons I need to keep using it over IE

Might wanna add a dedicated option for Opera, which a fair few folk seem to use.

Should be built in, UD.

My lack of comprehension skills are showing themselves off once more because I cannot detect any spell checker with this browser.

The snarkpit spellchecker doesn't seem to like FF to well so I am hesitant to use it often. I alread lost the format of two posts. Probably my fault somehow.

I will look more tomorrow.

Stop sulking. You're old enough, act your age.

The spell check, I know is there, I'm not sure when it gets implimented though. Also, if the spell checker on the site isn't working for you in FF, try again, cause it does work. If you're still having trouble give a shout in the "bugs" thread. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I made a tool to convert Internet Explorer to Firefox on your desktop. That IE icon that is not a shortcut and sorts up there with my computer? It changes that to firefox!

Http://www.dimebowl.com/misc/ietoff.zip Just run the IETOFF reg file to change it, or run the other one to change it back to IE!
