      Set it up? How many different ways are there to double click an installer .exe. If theres anything beyond that i'm not interested as the other browsers i use require only that.

      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.

        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.

          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?
          Wasn't having a go at you Durbs, apologies if it seemed so.

          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.

              Plan B - create an add on that removes all other add ons and then terminates itself.

                  My default browser is IE8 (with most of the pointless fluffy stuff turned off and only 1 additional toolbar installed) and I have Firefox with Adblock plus as the only add on installed.
                  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.

                    Faster until you start putting in the addons, then it's like watching paint dry.

                    Adblock plus is the only addon I'd leave on.

                      Aye, i missed the quote in your post and assumed you had leapt immediately to threats of violence for someone suggesting Firefox was slow.

                      Thought here's a man who takes his browser choice seriously!
