Just started to use Avant browser instead of maxthon because Maxthon no longer supports AIRoboForm (its the most important program for me =) ). Its using much more resource than other browser as i can see at start, hope its worth for it...

Firefox with about 12 addons that I can't do without. What I miss is the simple collector from Maxthon.

Maxthon users I think you know what I am talking about. Does anyone know of an addon for Firefox that does what the "Simple Collector" does in Maxthon?

Aye.
I've tried a lot of different browsers. Firefox, Netscape, IE, Opera, and lots of strange ones too. Can't remeber all the names.

I keep comming back to firefox. I don't really know why. Gotten used to it I guess. And Adblock is wonderful too of course.

I've used firefox for a long time but without plugins its nothing, as i am coding websites because of FF i always get in trouble Avant, FF, Opera, Maxthon and IE itself is installed on my computer for cross-browser coding checks; so from those nominees i will select avant; or Maxthon but not version 2... Ofcourse FF is more compatible with DOMs and its standarts will be default for coding and browsers, till that day i will not use it as default.

Has anyone counted their total hours locating, downloading, updating, installing, configuring FF and plugins? Phoenix was ok, but three updates later, I tired of assembling another version each month or two. I doubt if I've spent more than two hours configuring in four years of using Opera. FF isn't really free, if you consider time lost assembling and configuring it.

You mean you compile each new version of Firefox and install it from scratch? :blink:

No, just re/installing the browser and reinstalling/configuring the extensions

#893428 by xosemp (VIP) at 2008-02-01 18:51:43 (5 years ago) - [Quote] - [Report]Top

It has an auto-updater, both for the browser itself and the plugins. So you just need to configure it once, all settings and extensions are always kept intact.

Can't beat Konqueror.  It's powerful, and lightning fast.  KDE shared libraries ftw.

is ther any good adblock to opera?

Anyone know a plugin for FF to backup its settings and other stuff? I am not talking about searching plugin is there anyone who used that stuff, and can anyone call back settings after a clean install? Maybe FF has that ability without plugins but i just cannot find...

Thanks mate, are you using this; is it safe to backup with that and than format and reinstall?

Yup it worked fine for me. I have heard some problem with various extensions but no problem for me.

Konqueror didn't seem all that great to me.
It could just be that I'm used to firefox and my extensions though.
I'm thinking about switching over to KDE.
What distro would be the best?

Its all up to oneself to test distros, I started a long time ago with Mandrake and then switched to Debian and now I'm with Gentoo.

Firefox all the way started using it when 0.7 was brought out
firefox 3 is supposed to be 3 times faster than IE in tests

After reading through here I decided to try out Opera, lightning fast compared to FF. I think I might stick with it.

I have been using firefox 3 and I have to say it is unbelievable fast! Some sites you don't even see when it loads, just appears instantly (and no it hasn't peen cached) But as it is beta, it tends to lock up on some situations...

Am I the only one who just doesn't like Firefox?
I don't use something just because everybody says it's great..I found it slow as shit on my comp in respect to every other browser I used including IE.

Dont like the look of it..don't like the feel of it....just don't like it at all.

FF is not great cause everyone says it's great. :rolleyes:
It is a bit laggy at default settings cause is not just a browser like the others. It's more like a framework to built other apps with it. You don't use FF at default, it would be like driving a car without seats. You use it with add-ons. FF has skins as well and all the rest can be customized, therefor look&feel can be radically changed to whatever you want.

Then again, if you don't want to try any extension you might need, then FF is pointless, use Opera or something else.

thanks for the info, trying it right now.

Only complain within the firefox 3.0 series is the lack of support from extensions till the final version is released, but i can live with that through the about:config don't check extensions compatibility thingy

But thats not mozilla dev's fault, thats the creators of the extensions fault
