[kj] OT: Firefox

[Brendan Quinn]

Firefox allows you to masquerade as IE, I reckon that'd do away with most
need for it entirely.

 

My Firefox is really pumping now, if I had a chest it'd be all swelled with
geek pride.

I love my Opera! 
(Though I do use the FF and IE as well. Opera is my main)

Gotta admit I wondered at the bias when I didn't see M$ operating systems,
browsers, or Office in the list.(!)
 
I also had a tweak and got FF 3 working much snappier, quite noticeable even
on a fast (10-15Mbps) connection:

(I used the 2 add-ins and found some other config tweaks on another site cos
these ones aren't all FF 3 current.)
 
I'm gonna install Chrome and see how that goes.
