Each to his own, I suppose.  I've tried several progressive versions of Firefox (including, the latest) and frankly, was less than overwhelmed.  It quickly became apparent that if you really worked at it, applied the requisite tweaks & plugins and persevered long enough then, it's almost as functional as IE.

Of course, there are those who actually prefer not having full access to web content in the interest of "safety" and personal preference.  For those persons, browsers with innate and/or easily disabled functions are attractive.

Variety is the spice of life. I enjoy a new interface and options as compared to looking at the same old browser, day in and day out. I change browsers frequently just to keep from getting bored.

I agree. I also use MyIE2 and fine it very capable with far more control then IE. I have them all on my machine and use them all when the mood strikes.

Hi,

I use Mozilla and firefox and in firefox I don't have the download link target to disk thing in the right click. I have done searches on the net and have found no info if its a bug or I have a bad install.

Anyone else have this function in firefox 9.1? I love the mozilla stuff, and I am not a linux fan. I look forward to trying new things. I have a buffer computer that gets reinstalled from a ghosted back up and I use this system to test new stuff and once I test it, make sure its stable, and like it, it goes over to my work horse.

And so far I think the mozilla stuff is the best web brouser out there!

On mine it is called "Save link as" (in 0.9.2, which is just a patched version of 0.9.1)

on the earlier version, it was called "Save link to disk"

When it downloads an incomplete file, it is called a "part" file.
It becomes the correct extension after it downloads, (or should)

Yes, some websites don't work well with Firefox when downloading.

So, if Firefox won't download it, I use IE or AOL.

Firefox isn't perfect, but a lot more customizable than IE.

And it is more secure. (as long as you patch 0.9 or update to 0.9.2)

Update: Yes, that website doesn't work with firefox for downloading.

IE works, though.

AND I discovered I cannot edit my replies or messages with Firefox anymore. The options link does nothing. I am using IE to edit this message.

Yea when I try that one like downloading trailers at jurassicpunk.com it saves the file wrong and it cant be played. The download goes really fast as well like its saving an html page from a link and not the quicktime .mov trailers at 20 mb.

Yes, 'Message Option' and 'Board Option' got broke with the last forum 'upgrade'. A real pi ta.

I wasn't dissing firefox. I love it and will continue to use it. I was just looking for an answer to my question so that I can stop looking to see if there is a fix somewhere.

Thank you for the answer
