Go get Firefox 2.0!!

If you don't already use this excellent browser, head over to mozilla.org and get it! If has a built in spell checker for forums. Some of you folks really need that feature! Now, maybe IE (version whatever) may have it but this browser is much more safe and stable.

Me too, its great, a lot better than IE.

Although, I don't really like this spelling check. When I go to foreign forums and want to write something, it shows that pretty much every word is misspelled.

Been using Firefox for a couple of years now. Funny thing is, well not SO funny, my hard drive crashed a couple weeks ago and when our IT guy installed a new hard drive I asked
him to set it up with Firefox. Since then I have been seeing a lot of red lines under misspelled words. lol.

It will ask you if you want to transfer your favs. to bookmarks. It will move everything over without losing your favs list. The best thing is. Your bookmarks can be used on any other computer.

I've been loyal to firefox for a couple of years. i keep the installer on a disk so no machine of mine will ever be online through internet explorer.

in response to MisterCMK i have a couple add ons, one that lets me control windows media player through a button on the firefox browser.

i have another add on that works with my McAfee site adviser, lets me block pages i don't want people on, also advises when a page contains bad stuff.
