internet explorer just eventually one day STOPPED. literally... STOPPED. it wouldn't load a page, it wouldn't do anything except be completely WHITE. and often you couldn't close it even be going to close. You had to alt ctrl del it; sometimes multiple times.

Actually this happened to me as well. No longer though. It was a problem with Flash player I believe.

windows in general sucks.

Now see firefox did weird stuff like that to me. Wouldn't load a page. Would give me the neverending spinning wheel of death.

the icon's sexy

terriblecanyons 08.08.2008 11:23 PM

If I could marry firefox, I would.

You be right, Cantanky. One day, I'm going to get Brother Melly to install Linux on my laptop. Mozilla Firefox is great, methinks.

terriblecanyons 08.08.2008 11:48 PM

Careful Melly...

 

MellySingsDoom 08.08.2008 11:51 PM

Ha ha ha! :D

Brother Melly's a computer genius, and has been using Linux for 6 years. My brother's got my back on this one :)

I'm on Windows 2000 Professional Edition in English (though I'm french) - ya rly
I mainly use Firefox 3.0, with my fantastic GrayModern 2.0 theme. For one site though, I use IE, and for another one, I use Opera. I guess I'm a bit "psychorigid" but well

Derek 08.09.2008 06:51 AM

I have an XP and I use firefox.

I used to have Windows 2000 Professional Edition but hell, just decided to upgrade.

Firefox 3 has been a bit iffy on my linux lappy

Some weird behaviour and it's not handling flash video so well anymore

But I still prefer it to Opera

I was hoping this thread was gonna be about the film Firefox.

Yeah, my friend just last night was just like, "Dude, get Firefox."


I have that Vista shit now.....anybody have any problems with Firefox on Vista??

atari 2600 08.09.2008 12:01 PM

I don't think all the bugs are worked out yet with compatibility with Vista, but then again, I really don't know.

So, can you watch YouTube videos without lag on that dandy new laptop, krastian?

I had the same problem, I think I still do actually.
Not on my computer so I can't check.

Yeah, man, it's great. I'm most glad that now I'm able to get stuff from Dime, surf around, and run a buch of other programs at once flawlessly.


I'm prob. going to get Firefox sometime today and try it out.

I've had none so far. I don't mind Vista. In your face, popular opinion.

I was talking to a very techie person recently (I'm only a bit techie) who was talking about an OS emulator machine you can run - so you can try Linux (or whatever) without having the upheaval. Next time I see him I'll get the name of the deely.

I can't help but feel that gmku's problem is a picnic, I'm afraid.
