Firefox and EN World

[barsoomcore]

Yeah, I'm Firefox at work (Windows) and Safari at home (Mac). I prefer Safari's bookmarking interfaces and its text rendering is prettier, I find.

Possible yes, but not worth implementing IMO.

When he mentioned that, I got all excited at the thought of visiting with Konqueror and Lynx, just to be the odd person out on the stats page.

At work (win32), Firefox is great. At home (OS/X 10.3.6), Firefox won't keep me logged in, so I use Safari -- but only for EN-World. All other sites get Firefox.

JoeBlank: Your problem may be with the computer (clipboard utility, maybe) rather than with Firefox. Too bad I can't help you (not much technical experience).

As for my experience with Firefox, I'm in love with it and with Thunderbird too.
And yes, it render pages faster (in my case), specially dynamic ones such as php, asp, etc.

I tried FireFox. Not bad. Tabs are cool. But it doesn't seem to be much of an overall improvement compared to IE. And, since it won't play my Launchcast, it doesn't see use on my main computer. Somehow, my work's firewall blocks outgoing traffic by anything besides IE, too. It does see some use on my old, limping P166 laptop, though, because of the small install size.

I just installed Avant this weekend, after hearing about it from my brother-in-law. So far, I really like it. It does seem to run faster at work, but slower at home.

Firefox is dandy! I use it at home. At work, I am still stuck with IE, but I would switch quickly if I could.

Yeah, same here. But I don't mind IE too much at work. I do credit it with a fair amount of problems I was having at home, though.

If you really want to see Firefox fly try out these two tweaks from mozilla.org.
I finally gave them a try tonight and they make a noticeable difference

Add these to your user.js file in your C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ folder. (Or create the user.js file if it doesn't alread exist, and paste these in.)



// Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

// Enable pipelining:
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);





Here are the links to the documentation on these tweaks.

Is anyone trying the new Netscape beta?
