Can I have MORE than ONE web browser?

[serryjw]

I am considering buying the new FIREFOX 1.0. Can I still use IE?

[Lanky Craig]

1. i got firefox free

just download it.

its the best browser.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Sure - no problem.

Some sites only work on IE, so you'll have to keep it around.

[qnr]

4. then again, some sites only think they only work with IE,

You can get around that by changing the User Agent String (there's an extension available for that, if you don't want to do it yourself).

[qnr]

3. Of course, you can have as many browers as you want

Buying? You mean the CD? It's a free download, if you want to go that route.

7. For now, I heard the GOP is proposing a constitutional amendment!

Limiting browsers

8. I wouldn't put it past them, after all, they are anti-choice :) n/t

5. I have four browsers on my machine

IE, Firefox, Netscape 7, Opera...oh, and an old Mozilla browser. So five. They all work independently and you can have them all open at once, if you want.

Firefox is probably the best browser out right now.

6. you can have both

I use both IE and Firefox.

You can also download Firefox 1.0 for free if you wish, which
you probably already know,
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
of course the CD is inexpensive and comes with a printed guidebook.

9. you don`t buy it

it`s free-i use firefox and opera. after you use either one you`ll never use ie again.i think firefox is the standard for web browsing

[IronLionZion]

12. don't buy it you dingbat!

download it http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/index.html

then donate a couple bucks to them or buy a shirt to support them (or if you have liberal guilt :P)

you can have as many browsers as you want. I have a bunch: IE, FireFox, old Netscape, Mozilla, ....I like software!

13. i'm a netscape fan myself...is firefox better? (nt)

[Wapsie B]

14. I think it's a very stable browser,

not prone to shut downs or lock ups like some Netscape browsers I've used. The tabbed browsing feature is very cool, probably the best feature.

[IronLionZion]

16. if you like netscape, you'll love FireFox

I think.


FireFox is smaller, faster, cooler, and have more people working on the code and extensions and whatnot.

If you like the extra stuff in Netscape then you'll love being able to pick and choose exactly what you want. It's soooo customizable. texturizer.net will hook you up with extensions

[Queen Jane]

17. ok, thanks. i'l try it out, then. :D (nt)

[pk_du]

15. You must have one for each of Dumbya's "Innernets"

[qnr]

18. lol n/t

[qnr]

19. In honor of that, I've temporarily changed to a "wood" theme

Well, walnut actually....

[ogradda]

20. how do i find out what kind of

"browser" i have?

[qnr]

21. Sorry, don't understand the question. n/t

[ogradda]

22. o dear i'm not sure how to explain

what exactly is a browser? is that like google?

[qnr]

23. A browser is what you use to access Google

Something like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Amaya, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera.... :)

[ogradda]

24. i feel like i'm being a pest

my brother set this up for me i'll call him tomorrow and ask. i've wondered before what i had but i don't like to ask him stuff like that because he always gives me a hard time for being a "girl" :)

[qnr]

25. You'll never learn if you don't ask. Now, if I do this

Click on "Help" in the menu bar, I will get a chance to select "About Mozilla Firefox" - which shows me that I'm using Firefox.... do you have something similar?


Now, if I wanted to see which version, I'd just click on that and a dialog box would pop up showing that info --- like so:

[ogradda]

26. i have netscape!!

it was in the little help box! thank you!:hug:

[qnr]

27. You're welcome :)

Edit: typo
