I use version 2 and it's never crashed once - I have had no
problems with it.

it's probably something to do with your extensions.

No problems here. Save a copy of your bookmarks somewhere
safe and delete your profile. There's something fucky in
there.

I wasn't suggesting that you did, just saying what 'delete

does installing ie7 somehow help on other parts of windows,
though (like the file explorer and stuff like that)?

firefox won't remove your profile if you uninstall it.

you need to look in your windows user directory, and turn
off the option that hides hidden folders. then there'll be a
firefox folder there which you can delete.

I like the way IE7 tells me a site "is not available at the
moment" (unlike any other browser) when what it means is
"IE7 is so furiously busy communicating with the Mother Ship
and god knows who else about your browsing habits that the
last thing I can do is actually deliver the site you've
requested"

crashes frequently for me.

I just use a frontend for IE, it makes it a lot more useful,
without all of the BS about getting things to comply with
firefox.

IE's rendering engine is more vulnerable to xss holes.

The problem I'm having with mine is that when I first turn
it on and my computer(so the connection is established and
its powered up), I turn up the main out volume and I get
nasty clicks and pops, like the pot is scratchy or
something. I have it directly connected to a pair of KRK
Rokit 5's. This is the first time i've used powered
monitors, but i could sworn that did not happen at first.
Maybe its dust? ie scratchy pots? I have this chemical
solution in a spray can for this problem that I used on my
mixer that fixed the scratchy problem. Could that be a fix?
Enough of you folks have these here, so please, enlighten
me.

I think it's just a browser, I don't know if you can mix
with it.

you speak gospel truth. opera is future. i cant understand

Is it because it looks fucking ugly and turns browsing into
a hateful experience?

seeing as though there are many many skins i don't see how
you can say its ugly, and how so does it make browsing
hateful?

I'm probably using it wrong, I just have the default set up,
though it is up to date, but I find Firefox a lot
friendlier. Opera just makes me think "special needs".

xss holes can be used for identity theft, phishing, and any
number of other threats when a site like ebay or amazon is
vulnerable.

Firefox shits all over Opera because it allows people to
create extensions that are actually useful instead of gay
little javascript clocks for your desktop.

Also that hideous blonde hag Opera shows you on its
installer screen makes a man's organs crawl upwards like
they're trying to get home.
