If anyone really would like to ditch IE [Internet Explorer], then take a look at Mozilla: Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) as an alternative. I use Mozilla on and off anyway with IE, but Firefox is looking great so far.

Just thought I'd ramble about it, in case people aren't aware of it. :lol: :D


Firefox empowers you to accomplish your online activities faster, more safely and efficiently than any other browser, period. Built with Tab browsing, popup blocking and a number of other seamless innovations, Firefox stands out ahead.

Tabbed Browsing:

Firefox presents a fast and convenient way to browse the web - now you can open several pages in one window in separate browser tabs. Open links in the background while you read a web page, then continue to the links when you're done - pages are available when you need them, making the web feel faster even over slow connections.

Popup Blocking:

Popup advertising is one of the biggest web annoyances. Firefox shields you from unwanted popup windows. It also let you allow certain sites to open popup windows if necessary.

Integrated Search:

Firefox makes finding things easy. The built-in Google bar provides convenient access to the best search engine on the web.

Efficient Navigation:

Firefox makes it easy to navigate without using mouse. You can open links simply by typing some of the text in the link.

AutoDownload:

Automatically download files to your Desktop or another location with AutoDownload. Downloading becomes much simpler without windows popping up asking you where to save.

I sometimes use Mozilla but my Port Monitor lights up like Christmas Tree at times with it. :unsure:

Don't get bothered with Pop-ups though !!

Yeah, i've got a Firewall running. Anti-Virus. Registry protector. Port Monitor. Trojan Detector.
Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D. And a Partridge in a Pear Tree !! :rolleyes:

Just that when I fire up Mozilla, at times I get about four possible Trojan attacks.
Not necessarily genuine attacks but you never know !!
