Internet Explorer 7 and firefox??? advice needed

seretide · 15 Jan 2007 at 15:45

Anyone used IE7 that already had firefox and are happy with changing from firefox???

I'm extremely happy with firefox, only 2 probems with it-

after clicking it's icon on my desktop it takes a good 10-15 seconds to open,
and pages do seem to load a bit slower than when i had IE6 running

can anyone help with my firefox issues?

and anyone shed any light on the new IE7??

I would use ie7 but it just will not save my passwords what ever i try and do
its a good browser otherwise

reason i'm scared of actually changing over-is when i went from ie6 to firefox it lost all my favourites out of ie6?

If your that scared of it happening just export your favs to a file
Then if anything does happen you can import them again

IE7 is very good, but i always find myself going back to firefox.

Firefox all the time

It's made for my needs really

I would use IE7 if it had the ability to extensions like Firefox, specifically Adblock Plus.

Niether, Opera is the way to go, i only use IE7 for some websites that dont support Opera. Opera has the best innovations first. It makes me laught people think Firefox was the first with tabs

I only used Firefox 2 as master browser and Opera 9.10 as 2nd browser -- I dont use IE7 cos Ive disabled, usual Fx2 all time :cool:
