| | | Firefox 1.0 released
I was able to get it here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...efox/releases/
Seems to be a lot of demand for this, most sites that offered the download are unavailable!

| | I was just fixing to ask those here their opinion of Firefox. just downloaded it myself and so far I like it. Lot faster than IE and I can still use my outlook Express with it.  Also, has all my favorites from IE saved to Bookmarks. neat.
Peace.
Tom

The two things I like about it most are pop-up blocking (which IE now has in SP2) and tabs. It also has better css support than IE.
I've Been using firefox/mozilla exclusively for more years than I can remember now.
Glad you like it.

Tom,
You have to check out the extensions for Firefox! There are two excellent ones that you use with Boards like this for easy formatting.

Here is a nice little visual summary of some features in Firefox I put together when reminded about it by Scott.

I would gladly use firefox. Unfortunately, though, it takes much longer to load pages, than it does with my I.E. Browser.

| Josh,
I didn't understand it then and don't now. I can't think of anyone else that says that! Are you sure it is not just a first startup time (IE is faster b/c it is built into Windows) or cached pages?

| Well, I've tried it several times, several hours at a time. Cleaned out history, cache, temp files, etc. The pages still take several seconds longer to fully load.

Ok, I got everything except getting the icon links to other programs onto the browser! For example, MS Word, how do I get a link to that ON the browser tool bar?

I entered "Bible search Firefox" on Google and found a download of it.
I downloaded it, closed FireFox and restarted it and there it was. Same with the weather display.

Guys, give me about 30 minutes and I will have a web page up where you can get all the files.
Adam - did you get Bible toolbar or SuperBible toolbar? The latter is an improvement on the former.

I got the SUPER one now Fred!
Thanks.
And Josh, I have no idea why that would be happening to you. I hope someone else does. You could check out the Firefox forums.
