I've heard this before, but isn't Firefox incompatitble with many sites?
Report Journeyman • January 26, 2010 1:07 PM GMT
I've never had a problem with accessing any site.

Last time i touched Internet Explorer was maybe 2008.

I use firefox based on a site rating it number 1. it reviewed the top 6 providers in various areas like speed and security etc. always worked well for me and prefer it to ie.

I use Firefox but keep getting logged out of Betfair, say 4 times in 6 hours. bf say clear your temp int files and cookies ffs.
Report Hoss • January 26, 2010 1:31 PM GMT
Mitchell, that must be something in your settings or your computer. I could stay logged in for a week, no problem.

Had probs running Futbol 24 when I had betfair open, with FF. Would freeze now and again, which is a big no for me.

Chrome fast but was not ordering the matches correctly on my regular live scoring site en.7m.

Always liked firefox until the last update which pretty much broke everthing and caused sites to load slower. Chrome all the way now.
Report Clockwork • January 26, 2010 2:31 PM GMT
Right, I'm giving Firefox a go. So far so good, seems quicker than IE8.
Report flatliner • January 26, 2010 2:37 PM GMT
You may as well get chrome it ain,t gonna do no harm, I got Safari as well, just to try it.

I ain't updated since 3.0.17.

Is the consensus that i should leave it at that
Report Hoss • January 26, 2010 6:21 PM GMT
I have automatic updates and to tell the truth I have never noticed any slow down, but I haven't noticed any improvement either, the only problem with not updating is that you might be at greater risk from a virus.Why not update and if it's slower use system restore to go back to the old one.
Report boxingthefox • January 26, 2010 7:26 PM GMT
Journeyman, yes the consensus seem to be to not update, I did and got nothing but problems, only use Chrome now.

I will stick with the current version and make extra sure to keep Aviva Antivir fully updated.

always use firefox but started having problems with it recently. some pages are blank when i go back to them from looking at another window. pain in the hole as i dont like IE or chrome.
Report garlicbread • January 26, 2010 9:12 PM GMT
They all have their plusses and minuses, but the sheer amount of plugins for Firefox is what keeps me using it.

Both Chrome and Safari are top notch too, and you have to laugh at IE8 with it's IE7 compatibility mode.

In other words, a 'switch to broken mode for sites that were designed to work in a broken browser' mode.

chrome is king! i never use firefox anymore
Report Guybrush Threepwood • January 26, 2010 9:41 PM GMT
chrome is for Google sheep and it collects every browser information from you. It sends all sites you have visited and any search information and perferences to their servers to use for future marketing and ad sales. Basically its an information collection trojan browser.
Report garlicbread • January 27, 2010 6:30 AM GMT
^ Not if you disable that feature during installation.
Report Rum Tiddle • January 27, 2010 12:42 PM GMT
As a standalone browser, Chrome is probably the best. Personally I use Firefox for the plugins. IE is just pants.

Google lemmings haven't a clue about disabling the spyware etc. Just like they have no idea that their basic searches are being controlled.

On google chrome at the moment. Quicker than FF on here but not as happy with the interface.

I'll keep you posted on a monthly basis.

Got a new lappy recently,downloaded chrome......but it auto refreshes,did not like that.
Report cunnybobbler • January 27, 2010 1:37 PM GMT
firefox is compatible with alot more sites than IE, cant actually think of a single site firefox isnt compatible with. IE is utter crap, easily the worst of all browsers. only problems i have with firefox are 1: slows up substantially the longer you use it, not that big a problem cos you just reboot. and 2: video streaming isnt very good, the picture keeps freezing. i dont mean buffering, its still playing...the audio is fine...just the picture freezes for a split-second all the time. annoying with stuff like football.

Chrome has a Incognito Mode which doesn't log your history or cookies.

Apparently for shopping secretly for Xmas presents (according to the website) :) PMSL
