Oh yes!


Some minor issues are keeping me from switching from FF2 perma just yet but so far it's too pretty :)
 
An updated theme for FF3 would solve that one methinks :p not long til final now!
 
I do like that quite a bit.... although I see your stilling using a heck of a lot of extensions to get it looking like that (Glasser for example).

FF3 has moved on leaps and bounds since it's last beta that I tested. It was awful, clunky, and cluttered a few months ago!

Glasser is the only one that enables Aero in FF3, all the other extensions are ones that make my web journeys more efficient and productive on a daily basis :)
 
rule #1 : don't use ie7, it's slow and buggy as hell : pass
rule #2 : use firefox with adblock plus, with Easylist subscription : pass (i'm assuming :p)
rule #3 : adblock the ocuk banners to maximize the forum viewability (see below) : failed!

:p
 
I subscribe to my own adblock lists as I don't trust the online subscription lists as I found many of them cause problems for some sites in the past so I have built up a manual list of filters for various elements, frames and objects that does the job just fine :D

I don't block the OCUK banner though as I like to know when there's a this week only offer or something on :p
 
I've been using Firefox Beta 5 for a while, its great I recommend Firefox + adblock to all my friends. I've never had any problems with the easy list subscription, it blocks the annoying flash ads of a few sites I visit which makes them load faster in general too.

That glasser theme is nice I'm using it now, only issue I have is FireFTP is not working even when I do the thing to make the the beta version of firefox work with non compatible addons.

EDIT... I just got FireFTP working, went to the FireFTP website and grabbed the firefox beta version from the developer section part of the site :).

Top bar is ugly imo, I prefer the classic larger buttons, and layout. Vista transparency would be nice though.

*sweary smilie"!;)

Actually I like Craig321's theme, that is possibly better than IE7.

When it comes out of Beta I might contemplate converting.:eek:

Convert now lol seriously, firefox is miles ahead compared to IE7 in terms of addons and the way they make everyday web browsing nicer. Adblock plus is by far the best addon I have found, not sure if there is an equivalent on IE7 but browsing knowing im not going to see any stupid flash banners is a very nice thing to know.

Also addons like download them all save you from installing download managers, download them all is another great addon which makes downloading from slow websites a lot faster.

Another addon is FireFTP, this is only useful if you actually ever use FTP, I find its got more than enough features for uploading files to my FTP server. And thats another way you can save your self from installing FTP software.

I could go on for days about the addons for firefox, if IE7 ever had a addon system as good as firefox does I would consider using it. But for me I never load IE7 up on my PC at all these days unless using MHTML files which seem to only be compataible in IE7.
