Mozilla Firefox

I know this doesn't have much of a connection with locating but we do use computers so I thought it might have some interest.

I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla's Firefox service about 2 months ago and have really been pleasingly surprised how this seems to have eliminated most of my computer issues on my personal computer.

I have not had to re-start, clear cookies or do any of those house-keeping chores to keep my computer from slowing down. I still visit the same sites, download articles , etc. but with Firefox my computer never runs into the problems I had on IE.

Just thought I would share this with everyone in case any of you are experiencing problems.

Opera is even more secure, and is faster than Firefox, but does not have nearly the number of available add ons.

I switched to Firefox about a year ago. Switched right back to IE a month later. Hated it.

The people that write malware and tracking scripts thank you for making their job easier.

If you are this pleased with firefox, you should switch to linux and ditch windows all together.

I don't use Google for anything since they went "political" and tried blocking anti-global warming sites. If I can't trust them to allow access to legitimate info in one area how could I trust them to provide me with unbiased info on anything.
