Use it correctly? How many different ways are there to type an address in the address bar or click a link? Again, my other browsers do that out of the box.
So if you are having a pop about me saying i find Firefox slow(er) then thats simply the way i see it. I wouldn't say that I don't have the 'wit' to set it up.

IE is slow. Firefox (If you have the wit to set it up and use it correctly) is much faster.
Don't discount Firefox just because you can't understand or use it.
I use both IE and Firefox and my preference is obvious and has been posted here many times.
Resorting to name calling from the security of anonymity is both cowardly and pathetic. Grow up you childish little girl.
Want to meet up and discuss my response to your pathetic post? PM me and we'll arrange something.

So if you are having a pop about me saying i find Firefox slow then thats simply the way i see it. It not like i've tried it once, i have to use the thing regularly and I wouldn't say that I don't have the 'wit' to set it up. What is this magical go-faster config option i'm missing?
The problem with a lot of Firefox users is that they have a tendency to install and then spend an hour or two putting in addons. I get sick and tired of removing the damned things because they then complain that it's slow.
Firefox is extremely fast, but slows down tremendously when they start chucking the Google addons etc into the pot.Confusion is a natural state of beingComment

I'd say that Firefox is a bit faster than IE8, but not so noticably compared to IE7 or the ancient IE6 on some other machines.Comment

Adblock plus is the only addon I'd leave on.Confusion is a natural state of beingComment
