for anyone using firefox browser........

There is a recent new edition out and available for free d load, few more bells/ whistles, more behind the scenes action and protection. HAven't seen a bug yet in it but I will tell you this, if you have any themes installe dyou will need to update them as well, the only thing I noticed without updating the theme was the scroll bar on the side was missing, with the update its back and working fine. a simple close and reopen of firefox will make the updates work, no restart needed.

I really like firefox. Some online banking sites (all I go to actually) require that dreaded piece of dog doo IE.
I'm gonna let the update float a bit before I try it.

I'm using Avant Browser

Out of all I've used, including IE, Netscape, Firefox, Mozilla and Avant, Avant is by far the BEST...So many nice features, and its so easy to customize...Easy to use security and settings too

Tons of blockers, easy proxy, built-in translator for those "No Habla" pages...This browser is great

What does the updated Firefox have that the old one doesn't? I've been using Firefox for somewhere around a year now and I couldn't be happier with it. Unlike when I was using IE, when I run AdAware or Spybot they rarely find anything. Firefox blocks a lot of that stuff...and of course having no pop-ups is nice too.

I just started using FireFox on my home PC. I'm really impressed with this browser, I enjoy surfing again. I.E. was really hard to deal with.

I don't see why yall have such a hard time with IE. I've been using it for years now without any fuss. I've used firefox as well but I didn't notice any difference. IE blocks all of my pop ups and everything else. I dunno. But since I'm willing to try something new I'll try this new version.

I use firefox, updated it awhile ago. Need to check on the newest update though. I DO like how you can open up multiple tabs in the same window, instead of filling up the taskbar at the bottom of your computer screen with different webpages. And, if you go into firefox, you can set it up so that links you click on open in the same window, instead of having to right click on them or whatever.
