I switched to Mozilla

I finally got sick of IE and tried Mozilla Firefox. So far (after 2 days), I like it a lot. I really like having the pop-up blocker built into the browser. It works a lot better than using IE and a third-party blocker. The stuff I want to open does and the stuff I don't want to open doesn't. I haven't had any pages not work with it yet either. I like the bookmark toolbar too, since I'm lazy and want to click as little as possible. ;)

    I heard that mozilla is really good..I also heard good things about a browser called opera. With some of the viruses and trojan horses going around, the networking guys at my job actually recommend mozilla because it is not as prone to being hacked.

    I've always used Mozilla since way back when.. i hardly ever use IE anymore. IE is faster on my computer. but i don't care for it much.

    Only problem i found with Mozilla.. it won't allow me to upload pictures to the system showcase in here.. i figured that out after several failed attempts. I used IE a week ago to upload my pics.

    Just what is mozilla? I might be interested. Since we got rr, I've been using IE, and I don't really like all the pop-ups; where could I download mozilla? (It's free, right?!)

    http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040627/ap_on_hi_te/internet_infection_16

    it says that non-microsoft browsers like mozilla and opera are not affected by this virus.

    Been using Firefox from two names ago, and Thunderbird.

    I really like the Thunderbird email client, good spam filtering, nice control over multiple accounts and it's fast.

    I think Mozilla is 128 bit encryption (sp)

    the pop up blocker is a nice feature. :D

    I've been using Mozilla for a couple of weeks ago myself. I also downloaded firefox from their website as well.

    So far so good for me. I like it.
