ANswered your own problem, bucko. User ineptness does indeed cause things to run slow.

?

Half of that is rubbish, for one FireFox patches vulnerabilities faster than IE, patches for FireFox where issued on average around 17 days after they where found, some IE vulnerabilities where patched 100+ days after they where found, some even sparked lawsuits of negligence.

As for IE in a tab for FireFox, I believe your quoting

A vulnerability in older versions of the IE Tab extension allows remote user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).

Extensions in FireFox can crash extensions, just as addons in IE can crash IE. There is only really need for a handful of these though, such as Google toolbar, ad block, and if you want ti the video downloader so you can get videos off of my space and convert them to avi's.

There are several IE tab extensions for FireFox, and the quote implies there are 'newer' versions that don't crash the browser.

btw

Actually I've just downloaded Opera 9 and I'm very happy with what i see, the page loading is very fast compared to firefox and IE,a and the GUI just looks so much better and intuitive.

My only wish is that I wish I knew how to move the tab tool bar down below the address bar like in firefox.

I have IMs, multiple P2P apps, spring mod dev stuff, web development stuff, AV, and some other junk running right now and I'm only at 27 processes. It's not hard to keep your computer running smoothly and efficiently if you just take an hour to read about what everything does.

AF is right about the 1 AV thing, though. Just get a good one (e.g. not norton) and be done with it.

Oh, and min3 said fine, not free.

Another thing, last I heard, that IE-in-firefox plugin makes firefox VERY insecure, and not just because retards can't configure IE to be secure. It opens other holes, I can't remember the specifics because it's not a huge concern to me, but it should probably be easy enough to google.

I'm trying ouy Opera now, I may delete it just because the toolbar customiser is pissing me off so much.

The voice commands look quite nice so far...

i'm using opera now, but all those arguments are NOT pro IE, a handful are but most point to opera.
opera is pretty nice but took me ages to fiddle with, very customisabel and the gestures etc is just awesome
Opera 1
Firefox 0

FizWizz · Post by **FizWizz** » 12 Jul 2006, 22:04

I can't decide between Opera and Firefox. I absolutely love the left-right and right-left click functions to go back and forward in Opera though.

AF · Post by AF » 12 Jul 2006, 23:06

Ah or right click hold, upside down L for new window, and again for back to tab, or right drag to left right drag to right instead of right click left etc

I kept wondering that you couldn't be as stupid as to continue thinking that after so much calling to attention of how wrong that is. I am a slow person. That kept moaning in my head, i thought, i thought. Finally i think i figured out. You don't eat shit with a spoon, you are saying that windows is free as in ├é┬½i have several copies of windows in that pile of burned CDs, entirely "free"├é┬╗. Well, i have some copies like those too

haha.

That's included in the gestures plugin. Personall, I prefer to use the line-drawing gestures rather than the button gestures for back and forth... but I do love the tabbing gesture (hold ctrl + mousewheel)
