Yes, the Google toolbar cause's firefox to crash very often, once i removed the toolbar, the crashes stopped completely.

IE7 - Firefox is too buggy at the moment.

Dont get me wrong FF is a fantastic browser but they needs to get rid of the bugs before I will use it all the time.

I like Firefox. In my computer, it loads pages faster than IE does. I like the FF extensions too. They're very helpful at times.

The drawback I'm still having with my Firefox is the download window.. it makes my computer lag everytime it opens. Well perhaps I need to buy a new computer

I use Firefox most cos its faster and the tabs start up way faster...plugins are awesome...(embedded item downloader--> BEST) ...BUT... the download window is really annoying cos it comes up even when u want to save pics and stuff...! ------->and i love being able to change the theme!

If so, try removing it and see if it still crashes as this is one of the issues certain people seem to be getting with it.

If not, you're on your own

btw - Happy Holidays dude

Thanks for the heads up bro, I have removed it... I'm anxious to see the results

Whenever I use IE, I feel all gross, very vulnerable, so I'd have to go with FF. I just can't go without my NoScript

Lets compare these though. Do I want FF with better security, a better layout (IE tabs look horrible!), easier to use, or IE which is known for sucking up viruses and trojans? Also, I don't know how to delete my saved passwords on IE! Can someone help me here? With FF, it wasn't hard to find. I accidentally told it to save a password, but if a hacker came in or something, it wouldn't be hard to find!

EDIT:
Also, I have like 8 tabs in FF and 2 in IE, and still, tabs loaded faster as well as the whole browser itself. It loaded no problem, but when I loaded the IE browser (switching between programs), it glitched a little! This could be a result of NoScript though :/ dunno.

There is a setting in the Internet options advanced panel that will allow you to set this to the off position. Once you do this it will no longer offer nor store the passwords for you. I have mine turned to the off position as well and I have no issues anymore. Also I have noticed that glitch you talk about with the new IE. I have noticed that sometimes I get pages that wont load until I close all the tabs and open a new window. So they have a long ways to go with it for sure.

That's funny, Microsoft is so lazy.

Anyway, I don't want to turn it off, it already is, but is there a way to reset saved passwords? I want mine deleted from it. I saw the Reset button in Advanced, but that resets EVERYTHING, and I don't want that.....can't believe how unorganized IE is.

Yes. Go to tools and select Internet options again. Once you do this you will be on the first tab. On this tab page there is an option there for browsing history. Simply click delete and that gives you an option of different things to delete. At the bottom you see one for passwords. Simply select that and this should delete the passwords that are stored for you with no problems. LOL of course this is Microsoft so you know how that can go. However, that is how I have always gotten rid of mine.

Utexas · 12-30-2006, 12:08 PM

I cant say best because i use both.

iworkforthem · 01-01-2007, 01:57 AM

Firefox! Without a Doubt! IE is too buggy, not to mention it's CSS style just look different... It's too much work to get things looking great in IE.

bizops · 01-03-2007, 09:23 AM

I use Crazy Browser and have used it for years. What I especially love about it is the tabbed browser implementation - a billion times better than IE7 - for that matter, does anyone like IE7 ???

draligus · 01-03-2007, 10:49 PM

firefox is faster, this is true. but i like IE

Brian · 01-03-2007, 10:56 PM

firefox is still crashing. it's a shame

clp2006 · 01-04-2007, 10:59 AM

Crazy Browser is a good one!

QwkSand · 01-04-2007, 12:20 PM
