Foxy...
I've finally decided to install Mozilla Firefox because I wanted something that was supposedly more secure than IE in case I wanted to surf for cracks (no, not those cracks - I don't even think you can buy those online yet...), and mainly because if I write a webpage, I want it to be compatible with as many browsers as possible. Anyhow, I've put it off until now because I'm a MS biatch, and quite frankly, IE kicks ass with their "nonstandard" methods and extensions. But when Nelson said it was only like 4.7mb, I was like what the heck, now's as good a time as any! Well, unfortunately, while it does take less memory than IE when it first loads (it takes approximately 15mb of memory for me), it eats up memory much faster than IE does and eventually, it was taking up 47mb while IE was maintaining itself at around 40mb. Firefox isn't without it's share of bugs either, but on this page I currently see only 1 bug and patch listed. I know Mozilla also had a problem with their certificate authentication, but I'm currently too lazy to look up the link right now. Maybe Hershey can send me the link again later and I'll post it. But I think people aren't going to exploit Mozilla until it becomes more common as right now it's not worth it. The one thing I really like in Mozilla, which they've kept from the old Netscape before it died was the list of links, images, etc. a webpage contains. I could've used that on several occasions, but IE didn't have that feature :( I'm just hoping it doesn't crash as much as Netscape did. Anyway, I'll be using Mozilla more often now just to test it, but so far, it's very much like IE, and to me, that's a good thing :D

Finally! I've been exhorting the virtues of Mozilla for a while now. Glad to see that you've decided to give it a try. ;)
You know me, I don't like change =D Their text/link word search is pretty cool, but Mozilla's got a few quirks to work out...
