I have installed Firefox!

Posted by Lexifoxy 16 years ago

 

Yeah you know my life is boring when this is a blogworthy event. But hell, Firefox has been out for 4 years and I never once installed it for Windows. On Windows I always just used IE because it came installed and I saw nothing wrong with it. Well a month or two I installed Safari because I got fed up with IE's slowness (and Safari is faster than Firefox). I liked Safari but quit using it because of the way it didn't do little things such as VB3 popup menus for example. Some pages simply refused to work, citing I needed to switch to a supported browser (I had a page that did that when I used IE, too, though; the owner hated Microsoft). I've used Firefox when I used Ubuntu, again simply because it came with it.

Well anyway, the point is, I'm using it as my main browser instead of IE, after 4 years of not switching. The only two things I don't like about it is that the Bookmarks it uses (shouldn't they be called Webmarks?) don't integrate with Windows like IE's favorites do, and that it opens links in maximized windows. I want them in unmaximized windows so I can see if I really want to fill my screen with it. Oh well, not too much a biggie.

In this blog, I'm not going to post a picture of Firefox.

That second fox looks like it's on drugs.

Try holding down CTRL when you click on links; it'll open them in a new tab so you don't lose your present page. Useful if you want to follow 2 or 3 links.

Middle clicking is easier, seeing as it only takes one hand. IE's had tabs for quite a while you know; I'm not new to tabbed browsing. I actually use windowed browsing quite often too.
