I bet you really miss the sound effects, yeah? 😵

i did have a couple of small problems with ff2 but that was only because i didn't upgrade to ff3 until about a month ago.
ff3 is the shyt.
I use my 40" LCD and sit on my couch with wireless keyboard/mouse. The screen font is tiny. With IE you just click a menu and click 200% and the screen goes twice as big so you can actually read the screen and stays like that.
With FF, you have to press ctrl + EVERY single time you go to a new page. What a pain in the arse! So, back to IE for me.
OK
On the recommendation of Daemon Sin I have downloaded and am using firefox.
The first thing I noticed was my 'favourites' had disappeared. OK so I found them under 'bookmarks' but there's no little star thingy to get direct access; mmmmmmmmm this is going to take a bit of getting used to.
Are there any other browsers worth considering or is it a battle of the giants between IE and FF; rather like VHF vs Betamax?

Anyway,if you look for a reason not to like a browser, you WILL find it.
Some of us rather loo for solutions...

Or even Safari:

For the bookmarks issue:
- Click Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks
- On the left hand side, click the little arrow next to "Bookmarks Menu" to expand the list
- Then click and drag your favourite/most used bookmarks to the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder. Then those bookmarks that you move will appear under the address bar making them a lot more accessible.
Originally posted by Rene-ClaudeI used Opera for a while and was quite happy with it. If it weren't for the Greasemonkey scripts that make TFC so much better, I think I wouldn't care much whether I use Firefox, Opera or IE.

Originally posted by Nordlysya but the standard font size doesn't solve the problem when you websurf. Most websites have different fonts..sometimes it makes too big or too small.

IE is so much easier by just hitting 200% once. Using the keyboard to surf is a pain. I prefer just using the mouse.
