Firefox????
With all the crap I'm reading about IE and Zero Day, I have just downloaded Firefox. What do you think of Firefox? Just going to be an adjustment to learning new browser after what, thirty years of using Explorer.......

Ok, you haven't been using IE for 30 years.
That being said, it will take you about 10 min to get used to Firefox.

You are right, it was introduced in 1995. I had to Google that info. So what was I using during the '90s as a browser in the financial industry???? Can't remember...
I do remember Netscape navigator, and Mosiac before that I think.

But with Vista, it can feel like thirty years |

firefox is the nuts. I quit using netscrape a long time ago and never looked back. I resisted for a long time but the bossman highly recommended it and he was spot on.

For a home browser its solid.....Works well in a Business Environment but sometimes it can struggle with Web Based Reporting Solutions (i.e. Crystal Reports) I had thought about rolling it out at my last company til I came across that issue.
