FF3 is a great chunk of code- Im still having a bit of trouble with it on a few sites though- its very slick and polished.

However if you want fast (and I know you do) the new Google Chrome browser is the fastest yet- is beta so its not yet complete but it RIPS!

They took the startup page quicklaunch screens from Opera (which is another browser worth looking at.

I'm not a huge fan of Firefox, but I do have it because of the considerable speeds it's capable of with certain sites. I'll stick this since it may help members with the ridiculously slow speeds the site has been posting lately.

Bingo. Maybe I'll change over, but it's still like having to buy a new car because one stretch of the road is too rough.

Just tried it myself because of this posting. It does work a little faster with OSO for the most part. Sometimes it still hangs in space. I don't see any change in other sites, or of anything measurable. My Norton Password manager doesn't work with F/F, and I have lots of P/W's. The F/F password manager won't work for my Hotmail or banking sites.
It's new to me, so going to give it some more time to research the P/W issues.

Firefox has a plug-in that allows you to view certain sites in an Internet Explorer tab. It also can be programmed to "remember" to open those sites in IE.

It works well.

Do you know were to get this plug-in? I use firefox 99% of the time, but one site I use has to be run through IE, and it would be a nice feature to have.
