I am using firefox, too. Nevertheless be carefull. It still crashes from time to time. It is not as stable as mozilla, yet.

Indeed!
But I had alot of catching upto do
And i try not to spam/post useless posts and stay relative or at least in conversation!
That is alot though.....ssshhhhh don't remind PC_Arcade how many posts he has done
Does anyone know why mozilla keeps renaming it's web browsers?
Surely it should pick one and stick to it?

Not so easy. Ever tried to browse the web with a database? No? Strange, at least some people must do it, or why were the maintainer of the firebird database afraid their product could be confused with the browser if it had the same name?

Lucky you, but it might be depending on what plugins you use. Still, even an occasionaly crash won't hinder me using it. Alone for adblock it is worth the little trouble. Having SuprNova without ads....no jumping screen because of their idiotic scripts...Blocking oversized d0c images....

anything is better than IE, using opera myself, I have vanilla Mozilla but its annoying so I stuck with opera. I'll try out ff when I can be arsed.
So its, Netscape --> Netscape Communicator --> Netscape --> Mozilla --> Mozilla firebird --> mozilla firefox?

Not really
Netscape --> Netscape Communicator --> Netscape --> Mozilla
Mozilla firebird --> phoenix --> mozilla firefox
More or less two different lines.

i've been using firefox since it happened (previously phoenix n firebird) and the latest build is very stable, never had it crash. tabbed browsing, popup blocker, easy to block ad-server images. very quick at loading most web pages. easily best browser i used
