Have you altered the options in Firefox so it speeds up when loading webpages?

are you using the Faster Fox extension? It speeds things up a bit.

Yup, thats right. It only takes up 2 mins of your time and its really easy to do. I was amazed at the difference in speed it made to my surfing, especially when looking at photography websites.

i wonder how many people use firefox, theres more then people think,
i told someone about a glitch in their website that doesnt work with firefox, and his reply was, well your the only person i know that uses firefox, i laughed,

that would be a good poll, what browser people on dpc use

I think you would find more use firefox than anyone would ever suspect.

I have to bank in IE and I hate that.

Actually, there'd need not be a poll... that info would be in the access logs of the site. We can't see it, but I'm sure D&L know exactly which percentage of us use it.

Are you using IE Tab? If not, you should check it out. It'll open an IE tab within Firefox and you can set it to always open certain urls using IE.

Firefox here. No problem at all.

I'd like to know too. I think it'd be a pretty high percentage of us.

Whoa, thanks! My Firefox wasn't slow at all but now its painfully fast! Now I click on a vote page and it jumps up so fast it kinda makes my brain twitch a little, hope thats a good thing.

Awesome...
