IE or MOZILLA

hey guys i have been using IE for a long time...and i want to try something new. i heard of thie web brower(mozilla). heard that is really good and better than IE..is this true? or is just boloni and just stay with my IE

 

If you are comfortable with IE, use it
since you do want to try something new

Mozillza FireFox would be a good browser to recomend
It does keep things "cleaner" than IE

you can download it here:

if you don't like it you can still remove it
or if you just need time to get used to it
use them both

 

I second firefox

 

firefox is ALOT better than IE.

eric

 

I agree, its got more features, its less vulnerable, and is faster.

 

if i decide to get mozilla..can i remove IE? and how? or there is no need to
remove IE?

 

no need to remove it.

 

I wouldn't remove it
just don't use it

right click the desktop>properties>desktop>customize desktop
and uncheck the box removing the icon from your desktop
if your default is Firefox, you won't use it

 

now is there updates for mozilla? how do i get them?

 

if you just downloaded it from here(MG) its already up to date
there is ( I believe) an automatic update option in the options under tools

 

Mozilla Firefox is better. The American Government recomends it over IE because they consider IE volnerable to attacks and hijacking! Seriously.

 

Mozilla and firefox are excellent browsers---however they won`t read some pages that IE will.

Definitely keep IE in case you need it for the pages that mozilla does`nt read.
Hopefully all sites will write proper code which will be acceptable for mozilla`s much safer and efficient browsers.

 

from my own expierence i hate I.E.
i spent about 1 month trying to fix my puter ( with the help of chaslang )
many trojans ( 25+ ) things that i had downloaded were not saved. my computer was just a mess. also thing were downloaded with out my knowledge
firefox on the other hand is great. i get limited spyware NO popups and it runs faster ( i have dial up )

if for any reasonn you might want to see the problems i had look at this link

stick with mozila firfox, and use I.E. only for updates

 

Yep - it's in the "tools", "options" then go to the left column and choose "advanced" --

I just downloaded Firefox a few days ago. You have to go and download separate extensions...like "ad block", "IE View" -- so those pages you come across that don't load properly you simply right click in the middle of the page while open in Firefox and you choice to "View this page in IE", "windows update", "open download", "Tab Browser Preference", etc.

You can find them at:

http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/

It's much faster than IE (and I have dial-up) and you can set your homepage to be a SET of pages - so a set of 3 or 4 tabbed browser pages can open all at once as your "home page". Then you can choose to open a new link as a "tabbed" page or not -- it's pretty helpful. Plus, of course, there's the whole security PLUSes.

 

well after hearing all of this im gonna do it.hehe..thanks all

 

ok i just down loaded mozilla..im suprise how small the file is..how come i dont hear a click sound when i click on links. just like in IE?

 

Did You go with Mozilla or Mozilla FireFox?

 

i got mozilla fire fox

 

Even Microsofts Security Chief uses Mozilla!!! I know the article is from last month and many of you have probably read it - but still worth a giggle...

QuickSilver

 

what major business doesn't use the other businesses product ?

 

well after playing with mozilla a while i decided to stick with IE. with mozilla i cant see any flash stuff or see videos etc.. everytime i try to see something
it says i dont have the plug in for it..then i got the plug in but nothing happend so i was not really impressed with mozilla.

 

New here...

Another vote for Firefox.

You need to set that stuff up for your new browser.

IN Firefox, go get Sun Java:

Sun Java

Again, while IN Firefox, get Flash and Shockwave:

Macromedia

Spend some time to play around with your Firefox settings and you're bound to fall in love. Tabbed browsing alone makes far superior to IE, security holes aside.

Do, however, keep IE on your system. There are still times that you will run across a site that isn't compatable with anything but IE and you may need it. As well, I have Opera - like Mozilla, it also uses tabbed browsing. However, I use Mozilla 99% of the time.

 

well i dont see fire fox settings anywhere.i think i downloaded mozilla but it looks
like netscape. did i downloaded the wrong mozilla? anyways i uninstalled it.
and try and get the right one

 

Maybe you forgot this post --

If you go to Help does it say "about mozilla" or "about Mozilla firefox" ??? If it says the latter, then you have "Firefox" -- which is what most of the people on this post are talking about.

 

go here - and at the right hand top area click on "download" -- that's firefox (which is probably what you had -- but you didn't have the extensions/plug-ins added to the browser yet) -- which you have to do yourself -- no biggie - and it doesn't take long (I have dial-up too)

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

 

Or you can get it from us
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2248.html

 

I knew that too -- but from the earlier posts it looked like that might have been where he downloaded it from and since he was "confused" at which one he downloaded -- I thought he might want to go to their homepage
(put smiley face here -- which for some reason I still can't do in Firefox when I'm here on the board -- although EVERYONE else can, I know --- still "weird")

 

well i downloaded fire fox hehe and also got the plug-ins. then got the adblock and other stuff..hehe..i like it..no more pop ups.one more thing..i cant hear a
click sound when i click on links..can i enable that some where in fire fox?

 

I trying out Firefox right now. So far, so good.
