i just wana know what browsers you are using.

i recently downloaded mozilla and mozilla firebird and i'm really impressed with the results.

i'm never going to go back to internet explorer and netscape... i'll burn in hell for using those.

IE.

Mozilla is the slowest browser that I've ever used.

Edit: Just downloaded Mozilla Firebird, and it's still consuming 100% of my resources when I scroll up and down. It's odd...my computer is decently equipped with RAM, and this doesn't happen with other browsers like IE or Opera.

You just have to give the browser some time to adapt to your PC. After using Firebird for a couple of weeks, it loaded up faster than IE. Any browser is going to use more RAM than IE though, because most of IE's components are built into the core of Windows.

Mozilla Firebird. First time I heard about it, I downloaded it and noticed immediately that it went pretty faster than I.E and definitely faster than Netscape. It has nice features too.

pontiac firebird, mozilla firebird, bah. they're all pretty cool firebirds.

It doesn't make any sense...maybe they were paid off by Microsoft. Their new WYSIWYG editor (vB 3.0) is compatible only with IE. :rolleyes:

It has nothing to do with the scripting, it has to do with the code and CSS they use.

Most are. Their current WYSIWYG editor only works occasionally for me.
