Firefox

arkjarhead · Jul 8, 2008

I managed to figure out how to download Firefox and I really like it. The neat thing about it is I have a spell checker on EO now. It also makes most websites look a lot better. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Oh, Cherri thanks for the idea of getting this I love it.

I agree! FireFox is great! Especially the spell checker. Linder????

This thread would probably belong in the Tech Forum, but so be it..

For those of us who prefer Explorer, you can download a Google toolbar with an excellent spellcheck.

Reason I no longer use FireFox is that Audible.com downloads will not work with it. I cant live without Audible .com

I just tried an audible.com download with my Firefox browser. It worked just fine. A Firefox update was recently announced. Maybe that was it.

I prefer Explorer. The Gooogle tool bar has many applications and the spell check is one.
Firefox, for some reason displays parts of the posts outside the viewing box, which disallows total viewing of all words in some sentences.

I noticed the same problem Fish thought I was losing my mind..
I have the latest update and have kept Mozilla for 3 years as I don't have near the problems with security issues and spam..
There has to be a simple fix for the screen issue (screen res?)
I have a 17" monitor maybe I need to adjust the settings.

I had the same problem, if you find it happening it will be a post with non thumb nailed photos, if you right click on the photo there is an option to disable photos from the domain they are posted on. Once you do that the text will be back to normal - when you finish reading the text up on the top right there is a button to undo the action.

Firefox rules. Internet Explorer drools.

I tried to watch free movies on
Download Movies, Movies Downloads - Watch Movies Online For Free Full Movie Downloads
and they only worked 10 % of the time. I noticed that some links said Firefox only, so I tried it. After 20 attempts to watch the new Batman on IE, it worked on Firefox. The movie was a little fuzzy, but I got what I paid for. Some of the movies on
watch-movies are nothing more than someone sitting in the theater with a camcorder. I was watching one that was at a slight angle, and then it looked like someone stood up in front of the camera and walked away.

I hardly knew who Heath Ledger was before he died, but the job he did in Batman was incredible.

LOL - maybe Kramer shot that one

I found a program on Kim Komando - downloads video TV GPS cameras computers reviews and opinion from The Kim Komando Show® & Web site that allows me use my inbox again.
It is Mozilla Thunderbird. I can now use Outlook to read my gmail.
She has an article about 9 free programs you can download to replace some overpriced ones.

My FireFox doesn't have a problem with Audible.com? You have the latest verison?

We've been using Firefox for going on six years and never look back. Use IO for getting xp updates and that's about it. There's so little hacker interest in Firefox so it fits with our determination to stay as secure as possible; if that's even remotely possible.

I love Firefox and never use IE anymore since getting an add-on for Firefox that lets me open pages in an IE tab if the page I'm trying to access doesn't like Firefox. I can even check my hotmail now in Firefox.
