However, with my new system with a rockin proc and huge mem, FireFox flies. And loads faster than IE.

Thing I don't like: to start a new tab in FireFox you have to select it under the file drop down menu, then after that you can double click above the webpage to create more tabs. The new IE has an extra tab ready to click on in the browser. Plus, IE has an "x" to cancel each tab as opposed to FF that has 1 "x" on the right hand end of the brower to click to close each tab. Unless I'm missing something, IE has a leg up on tabbed browsing.

Thoughts?
Look under Tools-Options-Tabs and set it the way you want it to work !!!

So far it's been great. Only thing I've noticed is some drop down menu's on certain websites don't work with Firefox, but work with IE. Also, some search features on certain websites don't work with Firefox, but work with IE. And you can't use Windows Update with Firefox. So you really have to have both unfortunately.

Other than that, been great so far.

Other then the windows update thing ( and i dont think M$ let it work with any other browser) the only other problem i have found was some text is positioned wrong on the page but thats not happened in a while..

Cannot copy/paste text or links in Yahoo Mail with Firefox. Have to open Yahoo Mail with IE to do it.

Still loving it though. :D

Just posting things as I come across them.
