Ok, finally diitched I.E. for Mozilla. Taking a lil' time to get used to it. Anyone know how to change the icon on a "Bookmarked" link?

Who else is using Mozilla Firefox?

Don't give that bull about "pages load quicker" because 2 miliseconds isn't worth changing my comfort zone with IE.

It has no pop-ups, has tabbed browsing, there are not many if any hijacking programs for it... IE's only advantage is the fact that it loads a lil faster, but that dont matter to me.. cause mozilla only takes about 2 seconds MAX

haha...
ooo an included popup blocker! Wow those are tough to get...
Not to mention iExplorer is fully integrated to windows which subtley makes things that much easier. Mozilla is like linux, but with no real usefullness. It is mainly used in rebellion of microsoft and for computer geeks to feel "cool" the_finger:

it takes just as long to install firefox as it does to install a popup blocker

except being lazy there is no reason to use IE instead...
Firefox:
loads pages faster, has more customizable features, has no pop-ups, no spyware, no ads, no hijacks are made for it, has tabbed browsing, and comes with an HTML editor

IE:
loads slightly faster when started

stupid: nice argument man, really

FireFox.. I didnt like the swap either but it has grown on me since then.. Some pages dont match up exactly right as far as tables and blacks and things but thats fine with me cause more the time I dont look at them..

If you like tabbed browsing, then thats about the only advantage I see. How many times has my browser been hijacked?... How often do I get ads and spyware? Never. Why the hell would a browser need an HTML editor when a freeware program is much easier... not to mention straight notepad. Pages loading faster is retarded, seriously shut up about that.
Maybe your girlfriend only dates you because you use firefox, girls love the rebelious type..

so you dont want to use any of the features, doesnt make IE less shitty
it still is better, your yet to state a good reason not to use it...(besides that you think its for "cool people")
