Daggers Posted 17 December 2008 Posted 17 December 2008 The only way to bin IE entirely would be to dump Windows, wouldn't it? Or have they actually unbundled it from the core of the OS? I didn't think Raj was ready for a distro quite yet. What I'm loving about FF at the moment is the WOT and Cooliris add-ons. WOT warns about potential problem websites and Cooliris looks, well...errr...cool.
Fox You Forest Posted 17 December 2008 Posted 17 December 2008 I just installed that cooliris, I feel like Tom Cruise in Minority Report moving things across the screen.
Raj Posted 17 December 2008 Posted 17 December 2008 Don't get rid of IE mate - just download Firefox from HEREIt's not perfect - just safer to use, especially for the seedy sites you probably frequent DONE IT! To be fair,it seems to be working ore efiicently than IE. So thanks for that Guys. The only thing is,when i google something,the reply pages are in bastard Chinese!! ALL other pages are fine....any ideas???

Libertine Posted 17 December 2008 Posted 17 December 2008 Ohhhh, i'll have to set all my favourites again won't I. Can't be arsed with all that. Nope, you can import them.
Samilktray Posted 17 December 2008 Posted 17 December 2008 Just installed Cooliris... Now can I use it to browse or anything, or is it just dead funky to play with ?
AoWW Posted 17 December 2008 Posted 17 December 2008 And Foxmarks is the dog's bollocks if you're forced to swap between Firefox and IE
Jack Posted 18 December 2008 Posted 18 December 2008 Just downloaded Firefox, very impressed. I liked how it imported everything over. It is lightning fast aswell.
Fox You Forest Posted 18 December 2008 Posted 18 December 2008 Just installed Cooliris...Now can I use it to browse or anything, or is it just dead funky to play with ? No idea just playing around with it now, Looks pretty good.
ozleicester Posted 18 December 2008 Posted 18 December 2008 Microsoft have announced a fix for THIS gaping hole, so, in case you havent been convinced by the finer folk of FT to go to firefox...at least go to microsoft and up date that horrible ie.
lildave3 Posted 18 December 2008 Posted 18 December 2008 Nope, you can import them. Well that has made my mind up then.
lildave3 Posted 18 December 2008 Posted 18 December 2008 I now speak to you from firefox. Ooo the writing has gone all funky What can I do with this nonsense then?

WOT warns about potential problem websites and Cooliris looks, well...errr...cool. I've been on Ubunutu 8.10 for the past three weeks, by the way. Still have Vista on my drive taking up some space, but I've not touched it since firing up Ubuntu for the first time. Best of all, I thought the Vista part of the drive would be inaccessible, so I was prepared to use my external drive for access to my documents... but I don't need to. Love it.
