I searched and nothing came up but if there is, feel free to close this.
 --- i had noticed a few people with the firefox graphic in their sigs and was wondering what was so good about firefox. like why is it "safer and faster"? i am not trying to put it down or say anything bad about it, i just wanted to know what was so good about it. |

ahhh Firefox is so much better than IE in so many ways. BUT it has a few fatal flaws IMO.
 Like it doesn't play background music on most xanga. And the div codes in Firefox looks different than in IE. They don't allow colored scrollbars either. Some css just looks differently in Firefox. I had it last year for a couple months. I LOVE Firefox's tabbed browsing.. ahh I wish IE had that. And in Firefox when you right click an image you can zoom it in or out or you can remove it! That was pretty neat. I just stopped using it because of some xanga viewing issues. Almost all divs are misaligned in Firefox. =oT

No, Firefox does not display many css/div codes the same way IE does. It's just the way that Firefox reads things I guess. I loved many of Firefox's features and tried to find reasons why so many websites didn't display the same way it does in IE... but everyone just said that Firefox had compatibility issues. If it was a flaw in the website's code then why does it display corectly in IE? When it comes down to it.. IE is just much better for web designers because it reads css and html much better w/o as much problems as Firefox. |
