True but it has children

but on the upside it does have Dick Van Dyke, so if there was a murder involved or an injury, help would be at hand

FF is driving me mad! having to use IE, will need to 'go back' again! trouble is I can't find it

Rik · Oct 30, 2007, 10:37:16

There's an update due soon, Jill.

J!ll · Oct 30, 2007, 10:41:38

Not soon enough

Rik · Oct 30, 2007, 10:43:33

Oddly enough, with three machines, I've not encountered any problems. I suppose it might just be worth uninstalling and re-installing to see if that helps?

J!ll · Oct 30, 2007, 10:45:34

Yes I could do

Rik · Oct 30, 2007, 10:49:48

If you save your bookmarks and cookies files, Jill, you can then dump them back in the new profile with little or no loss. You'll just have to re-apply any add-ons. If you want to avoid that, you can download the FEBE addon, but then you may carry over any issues.

Or just rid of FF

Rik · Oct 30, 2007, 11:08:37

I'd miss it too much.

Might be worth trying Opera, though, and see if you like that.

No problems with FF here either, must be a female thing..

Rik · Oct 30, 2007, 11:12:25

Living dangerously, In?

Inactive · Oct 30, 2007, 11:19:59

Thought I might take a chance..

Opera is around somewhere

Should I change Jill's username to Miss Whiplash, peops???

J!ll · Oct 30, 2007, 11:52:51

Miss?

Rik · Oct 30, 2007, 11:54:19

Mrs Whiplash doesn't have the same ring, J!ll.

My FireFox has had one hiccup since 2.0.0.8 but I think they hope to have the new version out this week if all goes according to plan.

I've been using Netscape 9.0 recently. It's a clone of FireFox, but it seems less clunky, and has a nice layout, once you've got rid of all the toolbars and sidebars. Certainly worth a try.

Rik · Oct 30, 2007, 23:48:31

Netscape = full circle.

Simon · Oct 31, 2007, 00:07:13

Indeed! But it's nothing like the old Netscrape, Rik.

Once I changed the default home page, I don't even notice AOHell's involvement, and there's no branding on the new version.

Rik · Oct 31, 2007, 00:19:26

I'm talking about Netscape before AOL, Simon, back in the mid-to-late 90s? When you had to buy a browser!!
