Gerry, I recommend you don't try Firefox if you are using Mozilla. I used to
only use Mozilla and IE and then I tried Firefox. At the time, Firefox had
some IE compatibility extensions that Mozilla didn't and as a result I got
stuck on Firefox. The UI for the pop-up blocking and Find is so good I can't
go back. Now, I use Firefox 99% of the time. I hate it, I find it plain and
boring, but I can't deny that it is better, faster, so now I have to use it.
I use IE when I really have to or when at microsoft.com and Mozilla when I
really need to access POP3, IMAP, or NNTP from somewhere wierd.
Also, I don't beleive that IE loads faster than Firefox. If it does, it's
not enough for most users to notice let alone complain. Firefox taks about
the same time to load as Mozilla when Mozilla is preloaded, maybe a bit
faster.
Ha ha, I can't believe I mentioned "pop-up blocking". It's just that I find
it ludicrous to install a piece of software just to disable a feature in
another piece of software. I think wanting a Netscape 3 compatible browser
with a pop-up blocker is like wanting a glass of water that isn't wet.
