Firefox

[ksmith]

Is anyone else noticing that the latest version of Firefox occasionally steers you toward third party programs? This has happened to me twice in the last week--one was to a registry clean-up program and the other was supposed to fix errors in, iirc, the registry. Both the detour signs had the Firefox logo in the corner, so either Firefox is in partnership with these folks (or they're Firefox programs) or someone has figured out how to hack Firefox quite neatly.

I was using Firefox as my default browser, but I don't like this stuff. I have also noticed that I need to close down and restart FF every so often because links stop working. It just doesn't seem to be working as smoothly as it did when I first got it.

I like Opera.

Pros: It's faster than Firefox and IE.
Cons: Sometimes things don't display correctly in some sites and, Rich text doesn't work.

I remember trying Opera a few year ago on my PC, and not being too crazy about it. But I was used to IE.

It IS different from IE6 but if you've been using IE7 and Firefox it will seem pretty familiar.
