For those of you who are seeing this place through Internet Explorer, you may be missing out.

I just installed FireFox.... Woah... Talk about a difference! The smilies are animated? They never were before...

Stuff on my MySpace page that I thought was static, isn't static at all...

And everything loads a lot faster....

And I thought AC just had a slow server... Nope. I had a slow browser.

This is cool. I may have to spend about 10 hours re-reading the whole smilie war to see what I missed! LOL

Welcome to the world of Firefox! :thm:

Have you installed the NoScript extension yet? You'll be browsing far more securely with that running in your Firefox. AdBlock is nifty too.

I ve been using firefox for over a year now. Wont ever touch IE again.

Firefox 2.0 came out today. Not sure if thats the one you have. But its nice.

Also has a neat spell checker that works like Microsoft word does. And underlines your misspelled words as you go! its awesome. It also helps with stuff that should be capitalized, like it did to me when i spelled Microsoft lol.

I used IE to see what you were speaking of with the smilies not moving in IE. Mine move in IE. strange.

I agree!

Welcome to FireFox...
Also, IE is not as 'secure' as FireFox.

The pop-up ad blocker does work great! :D

Here's more in this link:

I'm sure it's even better now, since that article was from 2004.


Time for me to get 2.0 !

Been using Firefox for about a year now(just d/l 2.0), was using Netscape before.

Haven't used IE for a LOOOONG time . Well I told a lie; my new 'puter at home came with IE; used it so I could d/l Firefox...

This version of Firefox seems to be quicker also!
