Yes, but only if you can think in Russian.

Is there a Firefox extention to perform this?
I agree, also I had more spyware then with msie.
Where are they? I didn't see them on the mozilla site.

You just think at it.
In Russian.
I've got the question up on the mozzilla support forum. I'll see what comes of it. I have done the changes mentioned here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts
and it is faster than IE on my intranet.
WooHoo! You were right! I changed to the automatic proxy config address in my IE and I am flyin' with Firefox!
Yesssssss
Thanks for three good responses. I haven't used Firefox yet because I generally haven't experienced the security problems that others have suffered with IE. Unfortunately, there are too many people who treat their PC like a TV or toaster oven and have absolutely no idea how to maintain their PC and protect against security threats. On a weekly basis, I update and run Adware, Spybot S & D, Spywareblaster (which does a wonderful job preventing spyware/malware from loading in the first place), CWShredder, Cleanup!, and BC Wipe. I also use Norton Internet Security. I rarely have any problems.
I'm an Internet Explorer fan. I used Netscape from the time of the initial betas, but I gave up on it.
To speed up loading of IE, you just set "About:Blank" as your home page.
To block ads and popups seamlessly, and also save a great deal of time loading pages that have ads on them, I use Ad Muncher. There's a small price for it, but it's a brilliant program, and it blocks the ads before they download.
How do you add tabs to the toolbar? I couldn't find how in Help. TIA
Yes, but only if you can think in Russian.
you can do the "About:Blank" with mozilla/firefox too. I just find by bookmarks page to be more useful than a blank sheet.
Great minds obviously think alike (c8
Great idea, but I noticed that it only includes the default bookmarks that come with Firefox. It does not reflect what is really in your bookmarks.
I opened it in wordpad and noticed I could hack the HTML to reflect the contents of my bookmarks, but that seems to be about the only way I can find to let it reflect where I really want to go.
Yes. If you can use IE, it should not be much of a transition, but there are some really good features.
