HO doesn't support Firefox for redeeming Pan-o-rama points!!!!!
 
Firefox has an extension to take care of that. It's called https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419 and it makes Firefox behave like IE when a page won't support Firefox. You can even use it to run Windows updates, so it's good enough to fool Microsoft.Beats opening another browser!

Told ya it rulz!!! I'll have to check into that, but I did open up *gasp* IE to get my 12" SS pan on the way!!!
 
Firefox is the best. :D
 
I've never used Firefox. How is it any different?
 
It's faster. It's more secure. The extensions (add ons) for it are wonderful. It's an open source, community project - a lot of interesting people work hard to make sure it's a good browser. It's not Microsoft.

I really like it. Give it a try: Firefox - Rediscover the Web
 
Thanks for that IE tab plug in. The less time I spend on IE, the happier I am.Lynda
 
Okay Jennifer...I will! I'll download it at nap time. When I download it can I switch back and forth or is my IE gone forever.
 
Your IE will still be there and untouched. You just won't "have" to open it any more, even for sites that don't understand that we should be able to choose our own web browsers.But if you just want to open IE, you can. Nothing changes with that program.
 
I love Firefox!!! So much faster!!!!
 
I loved Firefox until I started using Opera.... wowzers. You wanna talk FAST? It soooo makes me happy :)
 
Yes, Opera is also very nice. Every time I try a new version of it, I'm reminded of what a great browser it is. I just prefer Firefox... but both are far superior to Internet Explorer! :D
 
I have been using Firefox for years now. They came out with all the innovative stuff that Microsoft is coping now.I will have to try Opera. Isn't it an Operating system???
 
Nope. Opera is a browser.It never used to be free, but now it is.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Ie Sux and Firefox Rulz....except When...." mean?

This phrase is a humorous take on the ongoing debate about web browsers, suggesting that Internet Explorer (IE) is inferior while Firefox is superior, except in certain situations where IE might perform better or be necessary for specific tasks.

Why do some people still use Internet Explorer?

Some users continue to use Internet Explorer due to compatibility issues with certain websites or applications that are optimized for IE, particularly in corporate environments where legacy systems are in place.

What are the advantages of using Firefox over Internet Explorer?

Firefox is known for its speed, security features, and extensive library of add-ons. It also has a strong focus on user privacy and is frequently updated to address vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Are there any situations where Internet Explorer is preferred?

Yes, certain enterprise applications and older websites may only function properly in Internet Explorer due to outdated coding practices. In these cases, users may need to rely on IE for compatibility.

How can I switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox?

To switch, you can download Firefox from the official Mozilla website. Once installed, you can import bookmarks and settings from Internet Explorer to make the transition smoother. Additionally, you can set Firefox as your default browser during the installation process.
