    Firefox Problems

    Hi, don't know if this is a Vbulletin or Firefox problem, but it won't brig up embedded images such as Wkids thread on the new fireblade colours

    anyone know a fix? I should fucking google it but I'm lazy.

    Yeah I would have to say that firefox is a piece of shit. I tried it but went straight back to mozilla. Its really buggy and wouldn't display alot of pages right. Hopefully they get it better in the next few releases.

    Que??

    I've used Firefox for months without an issue, including browsing pages using Frontpage extensions. I love the whole no more popups thing, and the separate download window with a list of downloads is just clever. What sort of bugs have you had and did you send a bug report back? It's still in beta and they need your feedback to fix stuff.

    It would take like 3 or 4 mins to load most webpages, even though I'm on jetstart. Also sometimes it would come up with an error message saying webpage not found. Don't know what the problems were.

    I just use mozilla now. I think firefox is just a slightly cut down version of that anyway.

    Yeah, I'm sold on Firefox. I'm using 0.8 and have had NO problems at all with kiwibiker.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Firefox works great for me. I "have to" install it on pretty much every windoze box I use. I actually fine it quicker than Mozilla and having the nifty google bar is nice as well

    No probs here either. Using 0.8 on SuSE.

    Been and checked your settings?

    K14 - sounds like you had a bad experience, but can't see how Firefox would do what you described. Give it another go, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Yeah the .1 on the 9 is bugfixing.

    Never blame Mozilla/Firefox for poorly coded pages. IE is a crap nonstandards browser, and anyone who codes for it is a fool.
