I tried Firefox....didn't really like the "feel" of it for some odd reason.

Until Safari ever comes out for Windows, I will stick with IE or AOL. :lookaroun

Actually, it took me awhile to get used to it as well, but I got so sick and tired with all the problems with IE. Like needing a damn patch all the time. And I was sick of all the spyware programs. Since using it I too haven't had any or not as many spyware programs. And all the features that it has that you can tailor to your needs makes it a really useful tool.

I felt the same way. I'm the only one here who will use it, but its so much better.


NemoRocks78, you have to play around a little with it. You'll get used to is after a day or two. Give it a chance.

As for the freezing, the same thing happened to both me and Tigsmom, until we installed Flash Player and restarted the browser, and now it works fine, so I'm not too sure on the problem anymore. Sorry!

Netscape is based on Gecko.... and so is Firefox.

Netscape a branded version of Mozilla Seamonkey (or suite), which contains the browser, mail, chat and developer.

Firefox is a re-developed light-weight stand-alone Browser component.

I enjoy it, safer and better than IE.. More compact and i can add features i will use than Opera.... I recomend people use this.. (Im going to use this for my webmasters class to help me validate the webpages better...)

You need to right click in the dialog box and then click on spell check.

I've just noticed it is not that great at checking as well.... *sigh*

Maybe it is just the UK-en dictionary?

If your still having trouble with a word, press Ctrl-T, then type in dict xxWORDxx in to the address bar, and dictionary.com will try and help you spell it!

For example.... dict karnivorous
