IE or Firefox,

[smasha]

Firefox blows Internet Explorer away especially when all I get is a "connecting" message in ie 8 and then it hangs and I have to close it in Task Manager.


If only Mozilla worked on an OS,it would blow Microsoft away.

I have got all three up. Opera, Firefox and IE.

A typically Hawthorn thing .

IE = Viruses. Therefore Firefox is better. However, Firefox is also s**t, so OPERA FTW!

Tried Opera.

Not as dependable as Firefox.


You suck cox if you aint usin' Firefox.


If only we could uninstall IE.


I bet ya Firefox would run alot faster without it but I think it's too hard to get rid of.

Might try the suggestion on this page.

There is also a browser called Flock which is based on Firefox 3 and has social networking built in and is rated as high as Firefox.

Might ave a look.

Firefox FTA*



* for the addons

Every single browser is better than IE. Even Chrome.

IE makes coding websites the biggest bitch. It's also a POC*

* piece of crap

IE8 is a huuuuuuuuge improvement on the last few versions, not as bad as people think. Though 6 & 7 suck the big ones.

Firefox is the bomb for design and development purposes the addons are just amazing.

Chrome has really grown on me in the last 6 months..

And once again it comes down to myself to have the final say in the matter.

IE is like Port fans - gay.


Firefox is like Carlton and Storm fans - sexy and cool. Well, the sexy part is more me but you get the picture.

So Firefox will work well only 3qtrs of the time?

Chrome is head and shoulders above IE and Firefox.

Its number 1 and only necessary advantage is that its quicker. Quicker to load the actual browser and quicker to load web sites. It is also designed with Gmail and Google Docs in mind so it runs those apps flawlessly and when Google Wave is released towards the end of this year everyone will be wanting Chrome.

Firefox is also much much better than IE and Safari.

Safari is much much better than IE.

Chrome ftw.
Had Firefox until it crapped it self and lost all my bookmarks/passwords and wouldn't let me put them back in. Haven't gone back to it since.
IE is just the pits.

Changed to Firefox a few weeks ago and it is much better than IE........ but ..... now have a problem when doing Google searches from Firefox. It arose only a few days back.

Every now and then(randomly) when I click on a search result link I get a "redirecting wait 3 seconds" message. If I don't immediately go "back" then the screen gets hijacked and frozen with an Online Scan page which does not allow either "OK" or "cancel". Messages include "your computer is strongly infected by viruses. It can cause data loss and file damage and need be cured ASAP".

The only option is to turnoff/restart. I have used Avira Antivirus, Malware Bytes Anti-Malware and Super Anti Spyware to clean any viruses and malware but the problem recurs at random. I've also done searches to find Firefox fixes but none of them appear to come up with solutions even though it is apparently not uncommon.

Has anyone else come across the same problem and/or have any suggestions?

PS: I have another issue which may or may not be related. If I go back to using IE to do a Google Search it automatically comes up with Gala Search directory which is as useless as **** on a bull. There is no problem accessing other search engines from IE.
