Hi,
I'm using Mozilla 1.6 at the moment. It's the latest full release of Mozilla, 1.7 is still in pre-release state and 1.8 is in alpha state. I was wondering if I should change to Firefox, but I can't see any advantages:
- it's still just a beta, basically; version 0.8 means some more bugs are yet to be corrected until the main release, no?
- Mozilla includes cookie management, pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing and image blocking, too
- even with all it's features, full Mozilla isn't altogether big (~12 Mb)
- Mozilla is already faster than IE
Now, there are sites that cannot be displayed properly with my version of Mozilla, mostly Microsoft affiliated sites. One strange issue: While everybody else can see the counter on my homepage displaying about 1300 hits, it insists to display 1.1 millions to me :blink: .
DeeBye, can you explain the advantage of tabbed browsing to me? You can't change with alt+tab between browser windows, can't close them with alt+F4, and you can't have several of them next to each other so that you can compare their layouts, for example, can you?
Anyways, just wondering.
Greetings, Fragbait
