I've been using Firefox since it came out.

You're long overdue for a nap.

I started using it when it was called Phoenix, and later, Firebird. I
actually use IE7 much more than Firefox these days. My main complaint is
that it is too slow to start up, and I just prefer the IE7 interface and
options for some reason. Firefox does browse and render more quickly
though. I wish I could have IE, but with the Gecko rendering engine, and
the about:config options.

Me Too

I was so happy to get rid of IE garbage.

Then I took the next step. I got rid of Windows 95%. See it only when
programming or using Access.

Also speaking for others while we do not agree with you; you are
certainly entitled to your opinion and we respect that. But it seems
that there are 3 primary jerks in this ng who do not respect others
opinions when they disagree with theres.[color=blue]

So you got rid of Window 95? Why? It's is just your speed.

I guess you don't have a cat.

Let me guess, using Access also counts as 'programming' as well?

That depends on if you use VBA or just use a few wizzards to creat forms
and tables.

Ah, okay Marc, but I fail to see what is so interesting about your Firefox
setup. It's just the same as default, isn't it? You just made the menu
hidden?

I've done that too, and I have also moved the Refresh and Stop buttons to
the other side, in the same places that they are in IE7.

Firefox 3 has a nice interface, but I still use IE7 much more for reason
that I cannot explain. I have the Options dialogue in Firefox, but the
advanced about:config is very cool. As I said, the main problem is that it
takes so long to startup.

I must agree -it's too slow for my computer at work.

About five or more seconds, unless it had been started since the last system
startup. I'm used to things starting almost immediately. It's not like I
am starting up Photoshop or something.

I take it patience isn't one of your virtues. Five seconds? I just
timed it on my AMD XP 3000+ with a gig of RAM and it took five seconds.
IE6 took six seconds. I haven't tried it with IE7 but five seconds isn't
exactly a long time and it only takes that "long" the first time you
open it after booting up the computer.
