Delprat Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Why not to try Mozilla Fire Fox!?What can not be done using firefox!?NothingOR you just used to IEmany things can't be... i use mainly FF, but it starts in tenth of seconds when IE appears in less than 2.FF uses a lot more memory (now : 85 megs with one single tab and one single window !!! there are whole OSes of the tenth of this size that include browsers !!!)FF doesn't support embedding of HTML applications (HTA) nor OLE (ex: word inside IE)some websites works bettter in IEFF bookmarks are not shown in start menuFF can't create MHT (which are very handy... there's an extension that allow similar thing, but IIRC that's still not MHT readable by 99% of windowes)and lots more...++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
