Default Who uses Mozilla Firefox?
i switched from Microsoft IE a few months ago, im finding it very good, i run no pop blocking software at all, because firefox has it bulit in,......

When running MSIE i ran popup blocking/firewalls etc and still got loads of annoying popups

since switching being totally honest in 3 months of usage, ive had about 3 popups, and they shot off straight away, and im on the internet 24/7!

also i always scan with ad-aware once a week, with MSIE i could get up to 100 new objects a weeks, on firefox i only get a couple!!

Just a thought!!

trouble is i always get my old versions of windows media player pop up instead of the new version i have installed when i try to watch vids, and i find that it won't load some pages that IE will. but it is faster and you get less pop ups

Mozilla is good.
I think 80% less spyware, and mozilla is faster to.

I don't have any problems at work or at home with it. Got the weather forecast installed, and some nifty themes

I use it but cant watch any video's or streaming files through it. It keeps looking for a plug in, when I press search for plug in it wont find any.

I just switch back to IE if I need to do any of the above.

Apart from that no probs

NUTS RuS, thats the Windows Media Player plugin, as far as I know you cant have it in Firefox but you can get an 'Open Page in IE' plugin, if you right click on any page or link you get the option to open it in IE, makes it much easier for videos!
