Lightbulb Firefox is a great browser

After upgrading to Internet Explorer 7 I've notice a painful delay with each page loading.
Today I've installed Firefox. It's great
Page loading is really fast. The built-in spell checker is very helpful.
Only downside I've found is that the icon has stopped jumping

Edit: After posting the icons returned to jump. No downsides here

For the most part I like Firefox, but for some reason it doesn't load some websites when I'm using it on my own PC (I've got it networked to my wife's PC through one of those "twisted" Cat-5 cables). In those cases, it brings up the home page (Google) instead. I've tried to figure it out but to no avail, and just resorted to using IE instead, which loads the same websites just fine.

Ah, well
Mark

I've been using FF as my default browser for years. On a few occasions I use IE when I'm visiting a site that is made specially for IE.

IE7 hangs up, but works within Maxthon. I agree with Erel, the web sites I am putting together show up best in FF2, especially when CSS2 is involved. Equally, I confess that Opera is doing fine with my web pages. FF or Opera, this is probably a matter of taste and individual feel.
Cheers
Robert
