Crazy Man Dan 18 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy Man Dan 18 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loaka 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trooper 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trooper 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
