Moxilla? Whats the big deal? I have tried it on my Windows XP based computer and found it riff with boo boos, and general hassels. I am not impressed.

More media hype? You decide...

I still have to flip flop between I.E. and Firefox. I stay in firefox mainly now; but if I'm on a site that uses a postdata submit script, I have to launch I.E.

My experience was the opposite. And I have friends that work at microsoft. There was this thread yesterday http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts

which gives a bunch of links to speed up firefox for broad band users. It works great!

BTW, my wife instantly noticed the popups went away when we switched, and we both love the tabs.

???? What is MoXilla???

I decided you haven't tried the Firebird browser at all. Most people have a good experience with Firebird. Or perhaps your machine has a ton of Spyware and crap that keeps anything from working as it should.

I am not sure it's all media hype. In Jan 2004, 95% of the visitors to my own web site were using IE as a browser. The percentage of IE users visiting the site now is down around 65%, which prompted me to rewrite a bunch of javascript so that it would work with Firefox.

What specific problems are you having? I've had a couple, but one or two have gone away.

OK. I have decided that, since you don't even know how to spell it, you have probably never tried it and your post is full of $hit.

respectfully disagree. I run XP pro and XP home on sony laptops and have no problems with Mozilla. Your bugs might be from some other source or incompatability.

I tried Mozilla browsers on my machines in the past with very poor results. I just installed the most recent version of Firefox on my best machine(XP) and it works great. I have found a site or two which don't render properly, but I can always use IE when I need to. For most of my browsing I'm going to use Firefox. Man, that browser is FAST! It is also very secure.
