Crazy Man Dan Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't have to in Firefox either. And I'm secure online. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, to be fair, IE7 is a huge improvement over 6, which is why I recommend upgrading if your OS can take it. My big complaint is it only works with XP and Vista. Firefox 2 works all the way back to Windows 98. This means that, as long as there are Windows 2000 users, web developers will have to support IE6's broken CSS support. At least 6 was better than 5... >_> Edit: Added a line of hyphens to keep two words as far apart as possible.

Bob Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Some of the changes in Gecko 1.9 Alpha 1 will affect the web and platform compatibility of Gran Paradiso Alpha 1: * Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME are no longer supported platforms http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox ... easenotes/ This operating system will explode in 5, 4, 3, 2, ... And please, don't use the word 'Windows 98' and 'secure' in the same post. Please Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Secure was talking about something completely different! Would you like me to put a line of hyphens in between the two to keep them as separate as possible?

usedHONDA Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 It's like Paint.NET dropping support for win2k.

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well, not quite. PDN I can understand since there's only one developer. I assume the IE guys are getting paid for their troubles.

FireFly Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I prefer Firefox so much more than IE that I put Firefox portable on a USB so when I'm not using my own computer, I can still use Firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaka Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 IE7 causes problems with the software I use at work. Thus, it gave me another reason to keep using FireFox. Even it it did not cause problems, it is not likely I would go back to IE anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 What is irritating is that there are *still* IE only websites around. FF has grabbed a significant portion of the browser market so I would expect that would garner some respect from web developers. Are IE only sites really that much easier to code for? Note: This is very irritating when in Linux and you have to reboot to buy something for your kids from Toys 'R Us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Toys 'R Us can be accessed from FF just as easy... Hmm. We can access it just fine. But none of the pictures of the products show up for us (I think there is another anomaly, but I'd have to talk to my wife). You can conduct your transactions fine, just make sure you know what you're buying. With all this said, YMMV. I'm also one of the unlucky ones who the memory leak affects -- if you listen on some other sites, the memory leak doesn't exist or is a "feature" (feature == linux/OSS boards, usually). I still use FF as my default browser. For all of the *few* problems I have with it, I feel better using it on Windows than I do IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBlackLamb Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 YOu can download an IE tab for firefox that allows you to look at IE only sites. I have it & i works fine Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times better than you can imagine.
