Give me a reason I should download Firefox or Camino even though I am perfectly happy with safari except for the fact that my employer's paystub website can't deal and maybe can't deal with anything but the latest IE but I'm not sure?

OK, so I should probably see if the damned site renders in something.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Adblock Plus. (But do see if the site renders in something first.)

At home, stupid ads aren't such an issue (I've a limited internet range) but god, if I could get that at work??? Between slower-than-dsl internet due to our traffic and my antiquated browser, I HATES ADS.

Bwah!

So I let DH's blog get all clogged with spam for a while and Google identified it as an attack site. Now that all the spam is gone, how long will it take for Google to re-index it and take the warning off?

(Or should I just jump through all the Google Webmaster hoops and request a review directly?)

Adblock Plus. (But do see if the site renders in something first.)

Flashblock is another good reason. Those two extensions are my essentials.

I could talk about what I like about firefox all day and night. I have a whole lot of extensions that help me with firefox.

one of my favorites is foxmarks - where I can sync my bookmarks across multiple computers. That just rocks the house.

I also love ubiquity - which lets you do all kinds of things across various websites through keystrokes.

I love Firefox but ever since I installed 3.0.5, it crashes constantly. I'm this close to giving up and returning to IE (oh noes!). Anyone else experiencing this? I'm running Windows XP Professional v 5.1 (this is on my work computer).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I use Firefox 3.0.5 on XP Pro 2002 SP 3 and haven't had any problems....

What is 'v 5.1'?
