Nice, Im still gonna use opera though. Its just plain nicer

Thanks...

Gotta love using a browser that security exploits are actually FIXED.

They all get fixed, some just take longer than others.

yup I switch from IE to ff then from ff to opera.. wouldnt go back to FF. opera loads faster then ff its great and slick:P also i use ad mucher with opera and its the best! oh yea and opera doesnt lagg when you have more then 6 windows open:O

Um, I think you meant TABS, but my FF runs better than any other browser I've seen. Opera's nice, and I'll probably use it for those sites that FF doesn't like, but FF is and always will be my main browser.

Back On Topic: I just updated it, and didn't realize most of my plugins needed updated too! Oh well, I'm updated completely now.

For now , firefox is my favorite browser, stable and fast, i tried opera but i just got confused with its features, i just notice something and i wanna know if someone else noticed it, sometimes firefox took alot of memoery, when i have alot of tabs opened and i notice its back slower and slower, anyone else noticed the same ?

Correct XP 2600. The memory useage is way up.

Been having another look at Opera since 8.5 went free. Opera once again is my primary browser. For me FF feels like a toy in comparison.

hmm, all the talk about opera in a firefox thread, maybe I should give opera a try, I've used ie5 and 6 in the past when I was learning computers, then I started using netscape and got so excited about the tabs, but now just use firefox the past few years, I havent thought about trying another browser, I have 2 gigs of ram so 5+ tabs in firefox doesent bother me, but it does look like firefox is a big memory hog. Although I might switch to IE7 once its final and non-bugy, since for some sites require it

Anyone notice that the plugin "IE-View" doesnt work after installing this version?

@DigitalDude2005: The IE View extenstion still works for me. I'm using v1.2.4 of it.

Working for me as well, using 1.2.5 of IEView.

haven't been using firefox since opera became free. going to give opera a few more days and see if i end up liking it.

Ok, nm, it works now, weird bugs happend , but its all good now.

Anyone have any probs with opera yet? I havent. Seems more stable. oh yea i did mean TABS:P no lagg when opening alot of opera. but when opening tabs with ff it laggs. or just loading pages it takes longer then opera
