Speaking of Firefox.

If you havent seen the post I made in the Skins Forum some time ago
There is a nifty little addon I used to Download all the downloadable skins for the game called
"Download them all"

Where you can check little boxes and download anything and everythng from a page.

I was giggling MAO as I was watching skin after skin after skin DL with a simple click.

I was definately not looking forward to downloading them one at a time.

doing it this way made me positively giggy.

IMO its how the skin DLS should be made available in the first place


Another note on IE as opposed to FF
One problem I see alot on IE is pages that wont load. Or I shoudl say they will load but do not show anything.
Says "done" at the bottom of the window but the webpage itself will sometimes be blank untill I hit the reaload button.

I dont get that with Firefox and I find firefox loads pages considerably faster then IE

Olny problem with FireFox. it doesn't render the smilies on here correctly..

So IMHO: IE sucks..


Firefox displays smilies just fine. Sorry, but there is something wrong with your system or installation, not Firefox.

i dunno what the problem is, I can still tell whats what(some smilies aren't affected..). Of course the problem traced back to when i reinstalled Firefox after a virus basically destroyed my system. :cry

Assuming your running the plug in "No script"
did you try clicking "allow" for Hitechcreations.com?

Same thing happened to me when I reinstalled everything on my new hard drive

I switched when I couldn't stop the browser Hijacks and Messenger hacks with IE.  Haven't had a problem since.  Firefox has never crashed on me.

The reason I use Firefox now, is because my I.E. would make my gmail, photobucket, yahoo mail, & other high traffic sites freeze up & say "Not Responding" every fluff'n time.

Firefox is the nen generation of browsers that have put I.E. on teh back shelf w/ Netscape & or Lycos.

Teh ony thing that is really weird, is that the frigg'n animated avatards go through teh frames REALLY faaaaaaasssstttt. :lol  Can I change that??? [shrug]

Smilies & other graphics rock along w/ the freaking fast connections btwn pages n' stuff.


+ I got this when I downloaded it  :D




P.S. It also tells you what words have been miss spelled    :aok

FireFox, being in the spirit of open source, also allows you to mess with everything and anything. It also allows pipelining (the opening of multiple connections to speed up the downloading of pages and I believe files as well).

Type "about:config" sans quotes in your FF address bar. Search for "pipe." Enable it and turn both integer values up to 15 or 20. Pages ought to load faster. However some sites that don't allow "download managers" will have a fit.

To those who complain of crashes, Firefox 2.x comes with a recovery system. When it crashes, you just open the app again and it asks you if you would like to return to all the pages you were currently at with history intact. Sometimes I'll use the task manager to manually end firefox.exe so I can restore the session later.

I've always found Firefox faster then IE, maybe it's just my imagination but I don't think so. For some reason IE won't let me change my homepage anymore.   I've had it as the Hitech Creations website for years but now it's stuck on one for HP.  So Firefox is all I use.

I use Firefox.  I tried Maxthon, which has some good features but its a little buggy.

I think the question is Firefox or Opera. For old computers Opera is definitely better. Firefox  is not issue free. Memory leaks (browser using more RAM the longer you use it), or problems updating that remind you Firefox is not 100% professional. In any case, I'm sold to its extensions. These ones I consider 100% useful:

all in one gestures
paste & go 2
speed dial

(check comments for known issues)

These 3 extensions come with Opera by default, although in a simpler implementation.
