i've been using opera for years. but lately i found that mozilla firefox is definitely better. aside from security, okay pa mga plugins and extensions na makikita sa site nila. one click lang install/uninstall na ang extensions. however, i still use IE sometimes for those stupid "made for IE" sites. bummer.

The new Firefox autoupdate should be available around March 7th. Firefox 1.0 users who aren't experienced in handling profiles during the uninstall/reinstall process may want to wait. Autoupdate will install the 1.0.1 patch automatically and preserve all current settings, without the need to uninstall/reinstall The Autoupdate feature should already be set on, as it is the default setting for Firefox 1.0. You can check for proper settings through: TOOLS ... OPTIONS ... ADVANCED ... SOFTWARE UPDATES ... check the boxes for "Periodically Check for Updates" for Firefox and My Extensions/Themes. Another setting to check is TOOLS ... OPTIONS ... WEB FEATURES ... CHECK "allow site to install software"

 

If you dont want to wait for the auto-update, the updated release of Mozilla Firefox is avalible for download now from www.mozilla.org

You will need to uninstall you current version 1.0 and install the new version 1.0.1

Full details on performing a clean install can be found here

I'm using netscape 7.2 and opera.  I like netscape for the email interface.  Opera's tabbed browsing is nice as well as it's download manager but every once in a while the program freezes on me especially whe i have a lot of tabs open.  Does anyone else experience this?

 

yup, my opera does that too... even i try to update, especially happens pag marami ng elements o kaya may embedded video/sound(while viewing myspace custom pages) sa page... wala pa akong alam na remedy kung paano lusutan...
