A Boy Named Crow Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I bought a new laptop about a year ago. It came with Vista installed, which I have been using quite happily. I have found that IE crashes from time to time though. Today I finally snapped. I've installed Firefox. I've heard it's better, faster, safer and it makes a mean cup of coffee. Is there a down side to it though? Will I end up running back to Explorer with my tail between my legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chat Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The only bad thing about it is that the Hearts website has a tendency to crash it. Although that's the fault of whoever designed the Hearts website rather than Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Lyon Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I use it to access Yahoo Mail as Safari doesn't want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordeaux 03 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Firefox is like a 5 star hotel, once you experience it you never want to use anything else. I love the duplicate tab add on it makes life so much simpler. The ebay sidebar is awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
