I do indeed have firefox, but I'm a creature of habit.  Even though I know firefox good, ie bad, etc etc.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Of course!
I, too, am a creature of habit. I have been using Firefox for about eight months, but I still have not made it my default browser. I'm afraid that Windows will punish me. (I have heard stories) I still have the habit of closing any auto-open IE window and re-opening the address in a Firefox tab.

I know what you mean, but once I became familiar with how Firefox behaved, IE seemed incredibly clunky and slow.

IE7Pro can block images, from what i gather, plus it seems to offer a number of other nice features. haven't tried it myself, though.

I prefer Firefox to anything else, its been my default browser since it was in beta. I installed Opera to try. It doesn't get used, except when a site requires my browser to pretend to be IE. Its not that its shite - it just isn't Firefox, I miss the extensions.

I know you are using another OS, now, but have you used it as the default on an "up-to-date" WinXP installation without problems?

Yep. I dual boot so the kids can play Windoze games, and have no bother with Firefox on XP SP2 either.

Glad to hear it from someone smart. I have heard some shit  on other fora about going "default" with Firefox.

I'm going to change it tomorrow!

I feel like firefox has some real problems.
Seems way too sluggish, at times. Probably
just a matter of too big a footprint, but then
IE should be worse.

I have had this problem with IE on Intensity. It has become so slow that I use Firefox for here but IE everywhere else.

IE makes certain things look better on here, though. Glowing letters, for example. On Firefox they look horrible. Very amateurish.

I needed it earlier, but that's a good point.

To be honest I'd like to block scarap's avatar too (simply because sometimes the kids sneak up behind me when I post, not because I think its sexist or any such shit)- I managed to block it on Dunc's PC, but when I try to block it on my own it blocks all images from Intensity.

Callaway, how did you come up with your net name? I looked it up ages ago and got something about golf clubs. :D

At Odeon's suggestion:

Quote
*Something I cannot do, and cannot change my
custom tag back. After asking Callaway to do so
(and yes, I'm pretty sure I got the right one), she
merely responded with questions about the WHY
of the particular choice of pretending to be MrMark.
I suppose somehow I offended her by calling basing
my profile about him, AND calling it Alex Plank's Butt buddy. :laugh:

Did I indeed offend you by putting up the MrMark avie/name,
and by having someone add the Alex Plank's Butt Buddy tag
to it? If so, why?
