Vanguard382 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I was just wondering if the FireFox is worth getting. I don't use firefox but one of my freinds still does and i was thinking of recemending to him. How much does it really do and does it make start up much slower/take up lots of reasources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted September 17, 2005 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2005 I use it and it does take a good deal of resources the longer the program is loaded. If its worth it or not is up to you, I think it deffinately is. How much ram does your friend have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mangix Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 i prefer Avant Browser over Firefox for a bunch of reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted September 17, 2005 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2005 i prefer Avant Browser over Firefox for a bunch of reasons <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No one cares. I use to think maxthon was better than firefox (because it was better than the early releases of firefox) but now firefox is much better. Its fast, stable, and secure.

Guest Mangix Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 fast, hell no. Avant Browser loads faster for me. and browsing it also faster(i have tested this at least 5 times). stable, hell no. Most of the time when im browsing, Firefox crashes when i browse some website that has trouble loading. secure, a little bit. the only thing secure about it is that it has no ActiveX support while Avant has the option to disable activex when im not using a ActiveX enabled website. when i am, just uncheck it and use ActiveX. very simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted September 17, 2005 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2005 Have you tweaked firefox with chromedit? Also the preloader makes it load faster than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I just did a clean install of Firefox yesterday and redid everything. My Firefox flies even faster, as I discovered some ChromEdit tweaks were not automatically applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenknight Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I'm trying out the new Firefox version 1.5 Beta 1. It still has a few minor issues to be resolved, but it is fast! I wouldn't mess with Preloader, it's not worth the trouble it can cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpm3k Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I would recommend the free browser Opera. When you try Opera you should read this: 30 Days to becoming an Opera8 Lover. Here is a browser speed test / comparision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuPL Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 ...I use to think maxthon was better than firefox (because it was better than the early releases of firefox) but now firefox is much better. Its fast, stable, and secure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Secure?! I don't think so. Now there is more security flaws discovered in firefox than in IE! Personally I have nothing against any software but don't say secure if you first don't check Secunia for example (3 vulnerabilities not fixed in FF now). I don't use FF cause installation of those extensions drives me crazy. Especially when it comes out that they're not compatible with FF although they should be I use Opera - cause it's fast, stable and secure. But - who cares?!
