Default Mozilla Firefox Browser

I have been one of the complainers about this site being so slow.Yesterday on OSO someone suggested that I try using Mozilla Firefox. I figured it was worth a shot. I put it on here this morning and wow what a difference. The pages load much faster. Not just here but every aspect of surfing the internet. So i do apologize for some of my trash talking about this site and IB. It seems that at least some of the problem has to do with internet explorer.

Been using Firefox for several years...it's much better than IE by far...It's easier to manage plug-ins and passwords and was the first with the tabbed browsing...

When Kim Komando recommends something you know it's a good one... http://www.komando.com/

And after fully setting up your adblocker, you'll never surf with anything else again!

I thought I'd give it a try- no luck. Didn't work wel at all. At first ti did load the pages aster, but then it stopped opening a home page and wouldn't let me access bookmarks. I dumped it and reinstalled- same thing. Worked OK then conked. Back to IE.

Here's the thing- the site used to work just fine.

If Firefox won't work on your computer, you have a problem with the puter NOT OSO. Nobody else has a problem with Firefox so that should alert you to other issues.
