After reading through the long thread that Martin started, it became
obvious that Firefox was largely being compared to IE6. IE7 does have tabs, in fact I'm using them now, and is significantly different to IE6. It's worth looking at some reviews (http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/ie7.asp being one). It has copied a lot from Firefox, I'm not saying it's better, but it's a lot closer. There are some niggles. If you have the Google toolbar installed, you can't seem to prevent Google being the deault seach engine in the new IE7 internet search box. If anyone has a solution to this let me know! Graham Penzance |

Graham Penzance Just changed from IE7 to Firefox 2.0. Very, very happy with Firefox. First time we have tried a new browser after an awful time with IE7. Now we know how tabs are supposed to work! They didn't in IE7, nor did a lot of page formatting (teletext holidays drop down menus didn't work in IE7 but are fine in FF2.0) Sticking with our new discovery of Firefox....

Thanks, that works, but it seems strange that with IE7 & the Google toolbar I end up with 2 searchboxes (the Google toolbar seachbox & the IE7 search box) but I cannot make them use different search engines. I'm just being lazy really, as I've got all the major search engines in a folder under favourites. Graham |

Thanks, that works, but it seems strange that with IE7 & the Google toolbar I end up with 2 search boxes (the Google toolbar search box & the IE7 search box) but I cannot make them use different search engines. I'm just being lazy really, as I've got all the major search engines in a folder under favourites. I have been using it for the last hour or two for the first time since FireFox 8 or so. The choice of search engines is infinite. If a site has a search engine you can add it to the box on the top right on the top toolbar. Just type TEST (in caps) into the new website's search engine and copy the URL it goes to. Click that in the drop down that allows you to add the new search engine. I think it is a brilliant device and am very happy with IE 7 because I am stuck with settings in FireFox that I messed up several versions ago and can not be removed even with an uninstall. I prefer the idea of FireFox and prefer Opera even more as it has the stuff I want as standard but again I have no way of returning the settings to its original default without going into the registry. Bloody stupid profiles! Needless to say of course the damn thing will not function fully with MSN's own communities. What else did I expect with that? |

Bloody stupid profiles! I went through the files on my PC looking for eveything with the word Profile in it and got rid of a lot of folders wit that title now Opera is working great but it has no spell check and I had got used to that in FFx. IE has a good one but not as god IMO as Mozila's. Now I just have to reinstall Firefox and find all the settings are defaulted, to make my day. Three bloody great browsers to play with in less than 12 hours. By the way there is a great tool that replaces the hard disk as a store for temp files. It is called Sandboxie. If you are using IE it will be an asset I am sure not that I have been able to use it yet of course. |
