FoxFire v.4.0.1 ?? - Page 2

I am on Firefox 5.0. Had one or two crashes but I was running three or four tabs at once so I attribute that to the problem. I really like the Personas that you can use to customize your browser.

What about Google Chrome? Anyone using it? Any problems with it?

Chrome is great but I'm just use to Firefox and it's hard to teach this old dog new tricks sometimes.

I have four browsers on my system (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE) and play around with each of them from time to time. FF is my primary, and IE is used pretty much only for Army sites that don't play nice with other browsers. While I haven't used the other two nearly as much as FF, I have never had issues with them crashing and their loading speeds are comparable to FF. The GUI takes a little bit of getting used to if you've never ventured out of your comfort zone, however. Nothing major, though.

YMMV, HTH

You can thank the standards were meant to be broken crowd for that

I have to deal with this on at least a weekly basis, if not more(we need a soapbox emoticon).

I primarily use FF, had no issues with 5.0.1 so far. Chrome used to load pages faster, however, recent versions seem on par with FF and IE.

Sorry I did not see this post sooner.

Did some testing with it awhile ago and basically there are two ways to fix it for sure, and one I haven't tested.

1) Either have the guys whom built the website(s) write code to work around it (which I did for my site)

2) Uninstall 4.0.1, Install 3.6xx

3) Personally Untested, Click Help, About, then Check for Updates. It will Update to 5.0. Cross your fingers.

Hope that helps some.

Great.

Computers are helpful tools, but sometimes you just want to throw'em out a window

Running Win7 64 bit pro with FF 5.0.1. Have had no problems at all. Have IE9 on my desktop at home, jury still out.

Heh...I still run Lynx. Never have any problems.

Aside from that, I generally use firefox if I actually feel the NEED for graphics (if I want to watch training videos)

So far, I've been much happier with Firefox (properly modified, of course) than with Chrome. IE isn't really an option for me, as I run Linux.

LOL! it's good on sat or terminals on Linux/Unix just never tried it for PS. Didn't even know till just now there's a Win Version.

For you guys who don't want graphics on Firefox or IE from time to time there is an Extension (add-ons) that's safe called Web Developer Tools. You can turn on or off pretty much whatever you want.

Internet Explorer users have lower IQ says study

Internet Explorer users have a lower than average IQ, according to research by Consulting firm AptiQuant.

The study gave web surfers an IQ test, then plotted their scores against the browser they used.

IE surfers were found to have an average IQ lower than people using Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Users of Camino and Opera rated highest.

The report has sparked anger from IE supporters, who have threatened AptiQuant with legal action.

Princeton University uses FF On campus and in all the libraries.

A BBC investigation has revealed that a widely cited survey claiming Internet Explorer users had lower IQs than people using other web browsers was a hoax.
