Notice To Firefox Users!

[PCGUY]

If you happen to use extensions that "speed up" web pages and prefetch pages, please disable it for SpudFiles.

You are only hurting SpudFiles (and other websites for that matter) by doing that.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, please ignore this post.

Thanks!

Is it sucking down your bandwitdh again?

Don't waste my bandwidth with your bickering.

[PCGUY]

This is not a bandwidth issue, it's a server resource issue. If your Firefox is told to prefetch pages and such, then it makes a bunch of connections to the server at the exact same time, sometimes it can make the server choke on it.

Ok, watch

Edit: Damn youtube can't hyperlink.

i have firefox, i dont have many extensions, and the ones i do have will not prefetch.

but

Firefox > IE

anyday. In fact, at my school, we removed IE from all the computers and installed FF, which surprisingly none of the administrators cared.

I own an IT security/network administration company...

Let me tell you from experience, firefox is a better browser. It's more secure, it handles scripts better, the extensions database is invaluable, it loads s**t way faster than iexplore.... did I mention it's way more secure? Oh yeah, that's the whole open source thing...

Opera, Safari, Seamonkey, etc... are all respectable also. Anything but iexplore please unless you like getting your network pwn3d regularly, that is.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

I use firefox and I used to use Opera.
IE is horrid

[WOW!!]

I use 2 cans and some string.....

[MrCrowley]

I gave FF a 2week trial for me and I couldn't wait to get back. Secure in what ways Pete? Does it stop all viruses/trogans what ever no matter what site?ive had problems with certain sites.... www.serials.ws lol

If it protects your computer from all viruses and what not ill change.
Btw my google/gmail font has changed,its gone up a few sizes for some reason.

[joannaardway]

That happened to me (with google). You'll just have to change it back.

[lukemc]

Firefox ROX!!! i might change my aviator to the firefox logo

[Scope]

The thing is that alot of malware is aimed at the weaknesses that IE presents because it is the browser of XP... A ton of people have it... same reason there are so few mac viruses... because its almost pointless

[risto]

i first started using firefox so i could use tab browsing (which IE 7 tried to use, but did a shitty job) and once i switched, i never got one virus OR spyware and i also never got a single pop up.

i'm not saying it was all because of FF, but im never switching back - just in case.

Also, on IE 7...where the hell is the refresh button? and why did they rearrange all their buttons? And every 15 websites, i get a "safety warning" that asks me if i want to continue. Like I'm going to say no? Even for sites like spudfiles and yahoo searches.

</rant>

well, that was fun =]

EDIT: Firefox 2.0.0.2 (even though i just updated to 2.0.0.3 today) will spell check your words AS you're typing and let you know what's spelled wrong. I wish everyone on Spudfiles had this feature since no one seems to use the "spellcheck" button on the bottom as it is now.
