viol Maniac (V) Inmate From: Charles River Insane since: May 2002	posted 10-10-2003 01:01 It's not that big deal but, after years using IE, I am starting to like Mozilla more, and starting to use it as my main browser. Back in 1995, when I started having access to the Internet (in Brazil), Netscape Navigator was the best, I loved it. Then, came IE and after some time I changed to IE. But you know, IE is full of certain behaviors that you can't control and it decides for you what to do and I am sick of it. Besides, I like the multi-tab feature of Mozilla. So from now on, until MS comes with a better version of IE, I am a Mozilla fan. Isn't it interesting?

Rinswind 2th Maniac (V) Inmate From: Den Haag: The Royal Residence Insane since: Jul 2000	posted 10-10-2003 21:06 Firebird is even more stable (so is been said) since it's a light version from moz. It's simpler and is an browser only, no mail, no html editor, browser only. I am not shure about the tabs though. But it uses few resources... So very good when you run alot of programs at the same time. __________________________________________ "Art has to be forgotten. Beauty must be realized."

ozphactor Maniac (V) Inmate From: California Insane since: Jul 2003	posted 10-10-2003 21:26 Rinswind is right. Firebird is, in fact, targeted towards transitioning IE6 users, and is faster and lighter than Mozilla. I never use the extra bloatware Mozilla comes with anyways, so FB is just right for me. And if you need a mail app, there's always Thunderbird.
