I downloaded Firefox!
Haven't played with it much yet but my god it's quick!

I hope it works better for you than it does for me atm, my antivirus hates it with a vengeance, something to do with an add on in the last few releases, so I'm using the old one from last year (5 or 6 upgrades ago?)

After 2 hours of messing around with the settings I uninstalled it and am back on IE
Loved it when I was using XP but is seems to hate Vista

It was the latest they had. Maybe an older one would be better. Who knows

I'm running Firefox 3.5.8 but it's on XP - works fine on the 2 pcs I use.
Oh and it works fine on my Linux PC too (not sure which FF version - I'll have to check)

Try Opera Browser.. I've been using it for years. They started using many features now found on more or less all web browsers years ago. Like 'tab' browsing and a thumbnail quick launch. I've tried Firefox (or Netscape as it once was), IE from V3 and the new Google thing.. Opera still comes out tops IMO.
