I've just installed Mozilla Firefox to see if it is as good as people say. Quite impressed at how fast it is.

Question

Should I keep this and get rid of IE7, which I have though? I like the quick links bar in IE7, but I don't think firefox has that has it.
I need some advice really on the pros & cons of Mozilla Firefox. Is there any internet pages that it won't display as of yet?

Answer 1

You can also get this extention for firefox that will improve the speed even more..

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/

The pros of Firefox are"

Tabbed browsing.
Spell checking
Search
Web feeds
Identity theft protection
Customization
Proven security model
Pop-up Blocker
Protection from Spyware
Add-ons Manager for Extensions and Themes

I don't know of any "cons" only to say that like with any other new computer program you try it takes time to get use to something different

Answer 2

Amen to firefox! I recommend you keep it versus IE7. Because the microsoft browser is constantly being squeezed for vulnerabilities more than the mozilla browsers. So this would be another layer of protection for you from those sites that do drive-by installations of spyware and adware.

Answer 3

Firefox is mint - and updated quickly with any fixes for critical issues.

They can do this as they specialize in the browser product. They don't have an array of other products to also look after like MS do.

To answer your question, I don't thing firefox will access the MS update page to scan for updates for your pc, and I don't think you can access MSN email stuff via firefox.

Anyway - good decision to go with firefox. Game on.

Answer 4

i use firefox as my main browser.

if a site has trouble displaying, i keep the other browsers on stand by.

there's a very good chance it wont display websites designed for IE.
