thatguy8b Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 freeware, internet browser http://mozilla.org the site can be a little intimidating. I imagine this post will be around a while, though as I write this the latest final release version is 1.4: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/release...4-installer.exe windows http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/release...-1.4-sea.tar.gz linux http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/release...achO-1.4.dmg.gz OSX it's available on every useful platform .. windows, max, linux to name just a few. Hey, thatguy, what's so great about mozilla. you mean other than it's not-micro$oft? it's a ground up construction to be a solid browser. it won't make you coffer. and unlike IE, in the extremely unlikely event of a crash, it won't take down windows with it. :-) and? yes, and there's more. cruise over to http://MozDev.org for FREE addons to make it even more powerful. oh, I forgot to mention that mozilla has native popup blocking (see also http://proxomitron.info) mozilla is a suite of applications a browser, a chat client, an email client, an html composer, and then some. if you want merely a rock solid browser get FireBird: http://mozilla.org/products/firebird/ built on the same gecko engine technology as mozilla but no suite. the stand alone mail client I'll mention, ThunderBird, is not yet mature enough for me to recomend although I use it myself in conjunction with the email client in mozilla -- that is when I'm not using Outlook and Disruptor OL http://mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/ ### must have mozilla addons include ### themes .. I hate them but most people love them: http://themes.mozdev.org/ multizilla -- get the true power of tabbed browsing http://multizilla.mozdev.org/ optimoz mouse gestures -- use your mouse to perform tasks http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/index.html this thatguy is here to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaimule Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I use firebird. I love it's builtin popup blocker! Two other good extensions are http://stumbleupon.mozdev.org and http://adblock.mozdev.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LightKeeper Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I don't like the Mozillia software... but I do use Firefox (browser) and Thunderbird (email) programs. I have been using them both for over a year. I love 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarqFlare Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I've got FireFox at least for website testing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr4nc3 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I've got FireFox at least for website testing purposes. I use firefox on my local computer for creating thumbnails of URLs via a webinterface from a remote computer. The reason I use FireFox is because of the PopUp blocking. (If my routine get's a popup (with IE), the VBSCRIPT can't close all the windows and then the whole 'process' doesn't work to good after that.)

TCH-Rob Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Trying FireFox and T-Bird, they make my PC go into OT, takes forever to switch windows, like mail to web to IRC and the like. I must need a computer upgrade, thought 1.2Ghz and 128 RAM was ok these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borfast Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Rob, that should be more than OK. My dad's previous notebook (an AMD K6-2 @ 400 MHz with 192 MB of RAM) handled Firefox and Thunderbird nicely... Perhaps you have another problem?

mike Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Firefox works great on mine. Only just started trying it. I have something like 1.1 ghrz with 768 ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Raul? Me? Problems? Never! I wouldnt know where to begin to look for an outside problem. Besides, Konqueror works fine for my needs as does KMail. Didnt like T-Birds way of handeling multiple accounts as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borfast Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 What OS are you using, Rob? BSD? Perhaps it's some issue Firefox and the BSD you're using? Also, are you using the 0.8 release or a nightly build? If you're using a nightly build, try getting the 0.8 release version. Anyway, if you have some programs that do what you need, forget about it "If it's not broken, don't fix it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I am using 0.8. I dont mind trying new things, just dont know enough to really get in and fix problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
