Porting my data to Firefox was a cinch, but trying to port just the email part of my Mozilla profile to Thunderbird took a little more work (you can drag it all over, but I don't like extra junk lying around). All working great and I didn't lose a thing, not a cookie, not a saved password, not an email, not a junk mail filter.
Come and get it!
That, and the lack of serious (from Microsoft's perspective) competition to Internet Explorer for several years now, seems to reasonably explain the lack of major new featuers in IE.
Now it seems that Mozilla/Firefox has gained the upper hand, and is continuing to deliver new, interesting features at a faster rate.
It may take Microsoft a while to reconstitute their IE software development efforts to a competitive level.
Never can figure out which one I like better.
Use IE, for updates only.
I'm very happy with Camino, the Mac Mozilla..
Thanks for the news. I love my Mozilla.
I just wish my bank would support it for my online bill paying.
Running Firefox .9. Been using Mozilla browsers for it seems years. IMO, firefox is faster than Navigator. But both are excellent,
bump
I really don't understand the fascination with Mozilla. I've tried all the Mozilla browsers (not the very newest though) and found them a little clunky and ugly.
On the other hand, I love Opera and I've used it exclusively (except for Windows updates) for about 2 years now. I think it's just a better, faster browser.
To each his own I guess.
I notice that Mozilla now has Firefox 9.0 out. Is it truly much better, and if I download it, will it simply replace the 8.0 I've got now? I am curious as I'm using a dialup and any such download takes quite a while.
FYI
Firefox is great, been using it for a year. Theres only a few Java applets it seems to have trouble with, so I stll have IE installed, just don't use it often at all.
That is just about the best extension for this browser (perhaps Adblock, too), and I sorely miss it. I'm tempted to revert back to 0.8 just to get that extension back...
Even without it, though, Firefox is still the best browser on themarket, and MS is gonna wish they had kept up development of IE.
What's the difference between Mozilla 1.7 and Firefox/Thunderbird?
Try MyIE2, a shell for Internet Explorer. Once you use this you'll never go back to plain IE. Too many features to list including mouse gestures.
Not quite as good but still excellent is Myweb4net and Avant Browser.
Been using Moz since 1.1.
1.7 is very nice. One extension to add is bugmenot, especially for Freepers. Allows you to go to login sites without having to use your own email address or provide any personal info, (real or not). Used it for both the Wash Post and NYT with no problems.
Did you see this?

Not remotely possible? Or doesn't apply.
I've got a question for web developers. I just downloaded Firefox because I wanted to see how my website looked with it. I have been developing for IE using Cascading Style Sheets, but with Firefox, it's almost like it doesn't recognize some of my styles. Has anyone else experienced these issues with IE/Mozilla compatability?
It has popup blocker but what about adware junk? People who create these things should be in jail.
