Firefox, quicker and looks better

I switched to Firefox a few months back to give it a go after hearing good things about it. I would never go back to IE after using it- there is nothing IE has that firefox doesn't, popup blocker is very good, and I like the tabbed browsing a lot.

I do find it to be a bit faster too, yeh.

you can enable copy to clipboard by putting one of the two things bellow into your user.js

To enable for all sites

code:

---

user_pref("capability.policy.default.Clipboard.cutcopy","allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

---

to enable for specific sites

code:

---

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "SitesHere aSpaceDefinesNewSite");
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");

Will this, or is there a way to, only allow sites clipboard access when it is user initiated. Damn, I hope I'm not putting ideas into people's heads. Damn, I shouldn't have said that.

U mean GM ??
I also like that we can have searches like google, yahoo, dictionary.com etc on FF's searchbar
That reminds me ... i have to add the UrbanDictionary.Com Engine if its available

Although I don't think this will be reason enough to make you switch browsers, Opera lets you make your own inbuilt search engines. I have Google Suggest Australia/Opera added.

*rav0 thinks for the first time about making a true Firefox lookalike skin for Opera. When I use Firefox, it seems to be slower than Opera, but maybe it is because Firefox use it less often.

Well I would say that I love firefox and the features it gives me but if there is one out there besides IE that works for windows update and stuff could someone please pm me about it?

There is no browser other than Internet Explorer that supports Windows Update (Microsoft Update).

ActiveX is a Microsoft-patented technology. That is why it is not in Firefox, Opera, Konqueror or any other browser. Well, Microsoft kind of stole the patent, but that's besides the point ATM.

Windows Update (Microsoft Update) is ActiveX based, and needs to be, so that it can change your system files. I explained above why ActiveX isn't in Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox by far. I'm not using IE anymore.

My favourite Web Browser would be Opera... Stable, fast, easy to use and very comfortable....

my old favourite web browse are Opera, but now is Netscape ,because is a "fusion"("function") of the firefox and IE
