Full Version: browser issue

Okay, problem here. My current browser (MyIE2) apparently is not up-to-date enough (or not mainstream) enough to do all the features i would like (full-powered CSS, whatnot) and Microsoft IE sucks too much. So, i've looked towards Mozilla.

For you Mozilla people... should i get the regular MOzilla browser or get the Firefox? Is there a difference between the two?

Yeah. i'm making a big issue out of this.

firefox is similar to mozilla developed by the same ppl. MyIE2 relies on Internet Explore so you need to update internet explore.

if you want to get both an email client and a browser get mozilla. if you just want the browser, get firefox.

GO MOZILLA!

OKay, so Firefox is the same browser that's in Mozilla, just Mozilla has an extra email client?

yeah pretty much. i don't use firefox, only mozilla. if you want to save space, use firefox, but if you can spare the extra few mbs, go with mozilla. i think there are more skins and addons for it than there are for fire fox.

[edit] if you need the email client after getting fire fox, you can get thunderbird from mozilla.org as well.

Firefox is really small and it's really fast and good. Try it.

firefox is the lean mean version of mozilla. if im not correct, myie2 is built on top of internet explorer.

firefox is the best. on my computer, firefox loads webpages faster than IE does.

eh. i tried out firefox and mozilla both and found that the CSS on my xanga got kinda messed up, so i went back to regular browsers. I tried out avant too, but on a certain page of my friends (here), the page wouldn't scroll down. I'm not talking about the blog itself, but the rest of the page itself, and i got kinda ticked at that (not to mention that avant had the same old-update problem as MyIE2) so i just went back to MyIE2. besides, its got tabbed browsing. (yeah i love that stuff)
