Lately Firefox has been letting pop-ups.
What's up with that? And the ad-block extension is for an earlier version.
IBM? That's big....

IBM is pushing Linux hard, and Firefox is one of the biggest stepping stones to get people away from windows.
I haven't been able to buy anything IBM since I read "IBM and the Holocaust".IBM? That's big....

Firefox does kick ass though - I have no idea how I managed without tabbed browsing anymore.
Word. I should probably punch in multiple home pages. It looks so weird with just one when I open the application.Firefox does kick ass though - I have no idea how I managed without tabbed browsing anymore.
I don't know if you're familiar with this. It restores firefox to the same state as when you closed it - tabs and all. Even a windows crash does not confuse it.
The more FireFox becomes popular, the more popups and adware/spyware that will be deployed intended for that browser. I'm guessing that the honeymoon days for FireFox are coming to an end.
Sucks.
And the ad-block extension is for an earlier version.
which is why i kept the earlier version. ain't broke. don't fix.
I still like Explorer, it ain't broke so I'm sticking with it.
If you don't go on the illegal/dangerous porno sites IE is not bad.
I just hate ie for not being able to search pages with a slash, not being able to quick search, and not having tabs. IE sucks ass compared to Firefox when you start using all of FF's features.
Why not get a Yahoo! or Google toolbar?
Because I see no point in wasting ram and space on the hard drive? Toolbars also take up screen space.
It's like straping some NOS to a Geo Metro when you could just go buy a 'vette instead.
Well, whatever floats your boat, Me? I just don't really need to search that much.
The functionality of this kind of search toolbars is part of Firefox by default - and in a way that is much kinder to your RAM and CPU.
so is it too late to buy stock? possible? and how much?
You guys must have horrible computers then.The functionality of this kind of search toolbars is part of Firefox by default - and in a way that is much kinder to your RAM and CPU.
I have both IE and firefox....I use the yahoo toolbar on the IE and it catches about 95% of the pop-ups that come up.
The only place I've seen a popup come up in Firefox is at drudgereport.
Where exactly are you going S y?
I get it a lot from snopes.com and a few other sites.
And no, they aren't porn sites.
I'm still using IE, and I doubt I'll stop..I don't see the big deal about Firefox anyway. Now that IE has a pop up blocker built in, it's even better. I just turn off all the pop-ups and they never come up. The only pop-ups it allows is from the ACCD home page. That's fine by me, because the pop-ups are actually important.
Sorry,
1) tabbed browsing kicks ass
2) just because it's killing popups doesn't mean your computer is safe. Just for fun we should have everyone download this cool little utility called hijack this, post their logs, and see if FF or IE has worked better for them.
IE is the front door through which half of all of the spyware in the world enters computers (the other half is Outlook).
If you're careful enough you're computer won't catch any spyware.
I already have it...and used it alot...don't have any spyware on my comp.
How do you know that?
