Dunno, need a crack to install it, lol . Dodgy validation checks.


Judging by what I've seen and heard they made some nice improvements. But not enough to make me stop using FF.

FF has been copying tabs from Opera... when Opera was developing tabbed drowsing there was already another company developing a tabbed browser too, the Netcaptor browser has been around for many years with tabbed browsing in an IE engine... it''s just a common feature in browsers. Like Chrono said, if nobody would copy good features there will never be any competition.

well then i dunno where my dad got it from..... he thinks its better then FF but i think it has really gone down in its quality like it is soooooooo hard to use even though it has tabs its to dodgy to get me back

I hate it. its worse than IE6. and its so hard to navigate around

I use IE 6 because the dutch version of IE 7 comes out between november en februari. And i must say that firefox is a good browser but my computer deleted everything related to it when i used hitman pro and spy sweeper. All FF had been removed so i think it is still using spywere. And the opera browser sucks, I cannot start my comp using that browser, so, i think that i stick with IE 7, that way i know for sure that i have a browser that is safe. And for me IE is good enough. Everyone chooses there own browser.

Haha . Firefox is an opensource browser, so if they would add dirty little things in FF the opensource community will certainly let the world know. There is no way there is spyware in FF.

What might have happened is that you catched some spyware from somewhere else that plugins to FF (like a browser toolbar), and because of that a badly written anti-spyware program deleted FF itself. Or you have downloaded FF from an untrusted location that bundled it with spyware.

How could you not find the refresh button

It's just at the end of the address bar. Took like all of 3 seconds for me to locate it.

IMO the navigation isn't hard, if you want the other toolbars you just hit Tools > Toolbars and if you want to customize the buttons Tools > Toolbars > customize. And to bring up a proper menu bar with 'file' 'edit' etc you go to Tools > Menu Bar. ( i have to agree though, the new layout is kinda stupid. I think maybe it shouldn't be so 'stripped down' as default.)

But FF is still better (for me)

My point is, we can navigate easy. But how about people who struggle with computers? Internet Explorer is used by people with a huge range of different abilities, it is far from user-friendly as it should be.

Yes, me and markee were saying this on WLM, it is a bad move to make the deafult of IE7 to be so 'bare' because that not everyone will be able to use it. I think it is an attempt by MS to try and win over some of the FF and opera and other browser users.

They should have had it laid out pretty much the same as IE6 but have the options to make it like it is now.

Too much glamour, not enough simple down to earth stuff. Simple things make a huge difference. The Vista style font's really mess things up as well.
