Sorry madrat, I have to say you are talking sh!t, I use firefox beta 3.4 and have no trouble with it at all and it has features that IE will have in about ten years time. I have been testing firfox beta since it came out and it is now a very stable browser, it was a bit iffy to begin with but now is great. Next we will have someone posting that Opera is the best, I suppose we will all have our favorites and that is about it, but I got to stuck uo for my firefox.

Very best regards Wez

My daughter and I have identical PC's on the same internet she uses firefox and I use IE, we have tested them together and every time IE is faster. both in locating the page and downloading it. My neighbour has just switched to IE after years of using firefox, he said he is all for supporting the underdog, but not when the service is so bad.

Hi madrat,

Does your daughter or your neighbour use the beta 3.4 version of Firefox? I cannot say which is faster, as nothing is fast for me, but with my very slow dial up I really do think that Firefox Beta 3.4 is way faster. As I said we have all got our favorites and will stick to them religiously.

Very best regards Wez
