Firefox Is Great!

Sang Lei, I am surprised of your opinion of FF. Version 3.5 of FF has just been released and it is much faster then any of the other browsers out there, including Opera. I am 110% satisfied with Firefox, its speed, and most importantly its security. FF is the browser I am using right now!

Memory Hog!

I'll take Opera over this piece of crap ANY DAY! Yes, they do have some cool extensions and plug-ins but I'm willing to forgo that for using a browser that doesn't bring my box to a screeching halt each time I open more than a handful of browser windows...

Has Microsoft Suddenly Awakened to Open Source?

Is open source finally making sense to Microsoft? Jeremy LaCroix sees a number of reasons to believe so. He notes that within only six months, the company has contributed 20,000 lines of code to the Linux community, given away countless copies of Windows 7, launched its CodePlex foundation, and announced that it is opening up the .PST data format behind Microsoft Outlook. I think it will be a long time before Microsoft fully wakes up to the benefits of open source, but some divisions hear the call, and more will over time.



How can i use the iim files

i was trying to use a bot in mobster on myspace cant seen to get them working

How can I get my existing Firefox 3.0 add-ons to automatically update to be compatible with Firefox 3.5?

Firefox 3.5 has been great but more than half my Firefox plug-ins are broken! Add-Ons like Alexa sparky and Google desktop search haven't been working since I installed v 3.5 about a week ago. At first I thought it was simply a matter of time before Alexa, Google and others updated them and today when I went to the Firefox add-on site - I found out that they already have versions that are compatible with 3.5!!

I've gone in and uninstalled the old versions and added the new versions but HAS to be an easier/automated way to do this! Is it something I'm missing??

Chrome started to not work after some virus/trojan problem. Any idea why?

I have installed chrome last week.. It was working fine at that time. There was a torjan/virus infection on my winlogon.exe recently and I realized this when I have to start my computer two times, in order to succesffully login to the system.. Anyway AVG antivirus has found and cleaned the virus. I made a full system search with it and also used Spyware Doctor for a possible spyware infection too.. Now as far as I see there is nothing in the system.. However chrome started to not work on any site giving the error belows. iexplorer and firefox seems to be working on some basic sites and for some others giving "Content Encoding Error".(Eventhough I have reinstalled them)
Chrom is giving (net::ERR_FAILED): for all sites... I don't want to reinstall whole system just for this strange situation. any suggestions?

Is anyone else seeing issues with Firebug 1.2.0 in Firefox 3.0.1?

I noticed that sometimes a cached object doesn't show up in the Net tab that it was loaded and other times it shows up as a HTTP 304 response. Does anyone know what causes the difference between the two?

Selenium

Has anyone used the Selenium plug-in for Firefox? (web application testing system)
