What are the advantages of Foxfire? When working right , its blink , blink , blink with IE.
Is Foxfire fully integrated with the rest of the Microsoft applications? For example , if I click on an email link in Foxfire , will it open my Outlook mail program automatically . There must be other integration issues too?

When a page loads fast and is compatible with both browsers (most of the time) they will load the same with maybe a slight edge to FF. It basically comes down to when the site is designed. If the site is geared to open standards FF will usually be the better browser. If the site is geared to a Microsoft back end with Microsoft specific code it will work better in IE.

Clicking on a link will open your default client - for example I use full Outlook (not express) as my email client and it will open Outlook when I click on the link.
Other integration issues? Just like noted above if the site is heavily geared to MS, IE will be the choice. If it is standards based, FF is the better. FF does also have a lot of plug ins to do various tasks and I feel it is generally a more secure browser. |

OK - I think I found the culprit - IE is not handling that right side colum well and after I put in the Moon Phases it seemed to cause IE to wait longer to load - was not a problem in Firefox. So I changed a few things and we'll ho it goes. I will find a new place for the Moon Phases...
Thanks,
John

IE is not supported anymore and hasn't been for a few years now, Firefox Is free and everyone should Google it and download it.
