Just curious, How many people here use Firefox?
Edit: Anyone that uses it, do you have problems with java script.
or problems with ircspy?

I use it. I have given up on IE for the most part. I have not noticed if it is any faster than IE or not. Personly I find it to be about the same speed. I just happen to like tab browsing and not having to deal with some spyware.
The bigest problem I have with it is getting all the add ons it needs to do some stuff on some sites. Slowing getting all the plugins I need

yea, i've been using it for a while, but recently i was getting some java script errors for some things, that and certain tabs for webpages with the pull down window wouldn't show, but i've gotten used to that.

Umm Thunderbird is a separt program. I am using Firefox but I dont have thunderbird installed. I did download thunderbird and looked at it. I found it was weak compared to outlook and it just lack some of the stuff I used outlook for.
I have never used mozilla so I dont know how firefox compares with it. but I can tell you that I am never going back to IE being my primary browers (I still have IE in my quicklaunch for those few times that I do need it)

nope They are still delepoting mozilla and there was a new release semi rescently I believe. Firefox is still a beta program and I believe that they plan on making it go 1.0 by xmas

Mozilla is a full suite of integrated Internet applications including a web browser, e-mail client, address book, web page composer, Internet chat software(IRC) and calendar application.
On the other hand.. Firefox is still BETA. Its even better than Opera..faster than IE. and it's a standalone product, seperate from Mozilla(the suite, and browser)
Also, to clarify more... Thunderbird is an email/newgroup client, again.. seperate from that of the Mozilla suite.
Does that straighten out the confusion?

So Thunderbird is not worth using, compared to outlook.

I think Thunderbird is good......I just havn't had the time/energy to move all my email messages over to it from Outlook.

Another question:
With Thunderbird, can it pick up mail from standard yahoo accounts, and can yahoo accounts be done with a POP.
