Why firefox better than ie

I have a question that I don't know if it will make sense to you. I was having all kinds of trouble the last few months with IE, getting error messages all over the place but I was advised by a couple of people, both of them computer technicians to try Firefox, which I did and all of a sudden no more problems. now the question is, is that a widespread problem with IE and what makes Firefox so much more reliable? I can't believe I was the only one with this problem unles it has to do with my internet provider. it happened with 3 different computers, 2 with Vista and 1 Windows 7

I figured it out. It was the hack that begins...

  • Why Arraylist better than vector?

    Hi,
    Why Arraylist better than vector?.....i heared about it that fast then vector......how it's possible ?.....how can we find out....?

    ArrayList is faster then vector.because in vector class all the methods are synchronized.so it is obvoiusly slow.Not everything that appears obvious is actually true.
    add more object into Arraylist and vector say(1000).we have a method called currentTimeMillis() in System class .
    use that and try to iterate both (arraylist,vector) objectIf you had ever done this test (use 100000 rather than 1000 as the resolution of currentTimeMillis() is too course), then you would know that Vector is faster more often than not:new List()      new List(N)
    Add+Iterate     Add+Iterate     Add Only        Iterate Only
    ArList  Vector  ArList  Vector  ArList  Vector  ArList  Vector

    N = 1000000 The vector wins when you don't know the size it's going to end up (its capacity increases by 2 rather than 1.5 each time it grows, so there are fewer array allocations). There's no significant difference between the two on iteration. It is only when you are adding to a Vector that already has sufficient capacity that there's a measurable difference.
    Anything that requires contension on the locks will probably adversely affect the Vector's performance.

  • Firefox browser is very slow, I delete history and Cache often, I like Firefox better than IE but need it faster as I am stuck with Dialup.

    I empty Cache and all recent history except passwords to get about 4kbs and at most I can get about 6.7kbs. Firefox is a lot better than IE but I am stuck with Dialup or a high price for DSL from our Local Telephone company. I have Windows Vista and IE9 and 7 as this is a 64 system so I have to download both 32 and 64 to run. Firefox is bright and clear. I see that instead of Java which is disabled for Firefox it uses Jagermonkey, I tried to find some info on this but couldn't. I downloaded Firefox7 just 2 weeks ago.

    Your Shockwave Flash is not current, do not install additional "crapware" which will likely be offered when installing an Adobe product

    There is little point is running the 64bit version of Firefox, it is really for testing.
    You can clear cache automatically when you shutdown Firefox (see image)

  • Can anyone tell me why javaFX better than applet?

    I just have read the example of javaFX.And I have a question.
    From the example.I don't see any good in javaFX.below is my opinion:
    1.It seems like that the javaFX application is deploy as a applet or jnlp.This is what swing can also do;
    2.javaFX's expression is sucks.Why don't use xml to declare the UI? I think as the application becomes larger,it is so difficult to maintain the project.But if I use swing or applet,I think it is better for me to maintain the project using oop.
    3.I think what javaFX can do is also can be done by swing,why javaFX?
    any apply is appreciated,thanks very much

    Hi
    1. JavaFx it is build over the Java2D and Swing. In fact it can not run without this 2 component ( at least now ). So what you can do in JavaFX you can also do on Swing and Java2D
    2. I don't think xml syntax it is good to describe stuff like this . XML was design to store data not actions. When you design user interface you must declare what components or shape do you want to draw on the screen but also you must write the interaction between them . I don't think you can do this easy and nice in XML. Look at the Flex approach . They used for declaration of the GUI an XML and for comportment ActionScript. I don't like this because i must learn and study two "languages" to make a GUI.I've preferred one language.As you said it is better to use OOP . How can you do OOP in XML in a nice way ?
    3. Because in JavaFX we do can more things easily . Look at this example : [http://silveiraneto.net/2008/07/31/javafx-creating-a-sphere-with-shadow/] . I don't think you can achieve the same results with Swing and Java2D with the same code line number.
    Another difference between JavaFX and Swing is the syntax. The Sun want to create a language that can be used by designer and by programmer . The Swing can not be used by a designer . JavaFX used a more natural syntax. For example if you want to insert a shape in an array you must type in JavaFX :
    insert Circle{radius:10} into array_variable . As you see it is more natural this syntax than Java equivalent.
    Another difference it is how easy you can do things in JavaFX correctly . When you program in Java2D and Swing you must know very good the architecture of this components if you want to work correctly . You must know what is the Event Dispatch Thread and how you can used it . You must how you can work with multiple threads in Java2D and Swing . In JavaFX you don't need this . All of the tricks it is done by JavaFX ( not in this release . I hope the final release it will contains all these tricks) .

  • What makes Firefox better than Chrome?

    Just curious.

    Please see this article: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/
    In addition, you can reconfigure the layout to your own taste. For example, you can move the tabs to below the location bar where you normally type in a web address if you want to. Chrome's layout however is set in stone.
    Firefox also has an abundance of Add-ons which you can use to enhance your browsing experience. Here's the database: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/bookmarks/

  • 11g R2 XE is better than DB2 Express-C 9.5 ?

    I love Oracle.
    I want to use Oracle.
    BUT, 11g R2 XE is better than DB2 Express-C 9.5 ?
    DB2 Express-C 9.5 is
    CPU 2
    Memory 2G
    HardDisk (Data file size) inifint.
    11g R2 XE is
    CPU 1
    Memory 1G
    HardDisk (Data file size) 11G.
    Why not better than IBM ?
    I want that Oracle will be better than IBM.

    The majority of people will choose whatever is the most popular and promises the best value for the buck. Most people don't know much about Oracle database other than it's a good product, but also the most complicated and most expensive - even if this is no longer true. I don't think a free product would hurt Oracle business, but will attract more customers, who in return make experience with the product and purchase support or other licensed software. In a perhaps similar context, software piracy has certainly not put Microsoft out of business. I agree with the OP and think Oracle might want to consider removing the tight restrictions on XE and lead the business.

  • Why does a DVI or VGA look better than HDMI for 2nd Monitor

    Why does a DVI or VGA connection for a program monitor look better than HDMI. I've tested this on several systems with CS5x and CS6. The full screen output from premiere definitely looks worse with HDMI.
    I can often see visual differences with the Windows GUI as well, over sharpening of text and lines, harsh rendering of gradients. It looks like a VGA signal displayed on a television.
    I've looked at the NVidia stetting and it appears to be set to 1920x1080 at 60hz either way, DVI or HDMI. On one Acer 20 inch monitor the was VGA, HDMI, Composite, Component, and Digital Tuner, but no DVI. The program monitor has always looked blah from the HDMI. So I recently switched the connection to a DVI to VGA adaptor, and now the video looks so much better.
    Any thoughts or explanations?

    Just because the monitors accept a 1080P signal doesn't mean their native resolution is 1920x1080. At 20 inch they very likely can scale that signal down to the native resolution of the panel which may be 1600 x 900 or another resolution that is 16 x 9 resolution. That scaling can be done by the GPU or firmware on the Monitor depending on the video driver options and the firmware options. That scaling is also the most common cause to text and icon blurriness you are talking about. As an example there are Pro monitors that accept a 4K signal but scale it down to 2.5K or 2K on the actual panel. You might try going into your video card settings such as Nvidia control panel and look for the scaling options. Select GPU scaling and see if the preview is better. If that doesn't work select no scaling and see if it's better if the monitor firmware handles the scaling.

  • Firefox beta will not update acrobat plug in why ?

  • Why Annyconecct is better than vpn client ?

    why anyconnect is better than cisco vpn client ?
    what is its advangatges ?
    i think that both are remoteaccess vpn .
    why its better ?

    The other thing is that, Cisco does not support traditional VPN on Windows 8.X.  I have run in to lots of issues trying to install  Cisco VPN client on Windows 8.x clients..  it sometimes work and sometimes it needs registry hacks etc.. really painful setup for the network engineer.  So Anyconnect is preffered.
    Also, since SSL uses port 443/SSL by default,  it does not need any ALG (Application Layer Gateway) functionality in remote end user's routers to operate, and will simply work with normal PAT which is always on..  with traditional IPSec VPN, since it uses ESP, you need to have AGL turned on on the user's GW router (this is normally called IPSec VPN pass through mode) and this sometimes doesn't work the way you want specially on the older residential routers. When this happens you really don't have any other option for those users.. and your only response would be "Sorry your router does not support this kind of VPN  or  your router does something strange with the VPN  so Please upgrade your router" which is something the normal residential user don't want to hear.. and something you want to tell them..
    So SSL VPN is the way to go..
    please rate helpful posts :) 

  • Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

    Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

    Because it has a RISC processor. Just brag about all the MHz or even GHz while you are waiting like other Intel users. Using my trusty G4 rather than MBP becase its simply faster.

  • Why not reporting on DSO is better than Cube,DSO is more denormalized?

    Hi,
    As it is said that for better reporting response, all dataware house solution are denormalized. Normalized tables take more time in executing report.
    Then why not reporting on DSO is better than Cube?
    Cube is said to have multidimensional structure. But DSO has more denormalized data than cube.
    Please correct me..." Cube is not completely denormalized". It has links between fact table and dimension tables.
    Thanks !!

    Cube reporting is the part of standrad datawarehousing design. Please read kimballs DWH books for more details.

  • I have downloaded firefox beta version on my galaxy y it shows that it installed on memory card but it occupy space on my internal memory why?

    when the application shows 2.3 mb data and 20 mb other data stored on memory card why my 24 mb internal memory occupied by firefox beta.
    why is it so big when opera mini is so small and efficient.
    is it works on downloading like ucweb does.

    hello atuljains, unlike opera mini firefox for android is a full-fledged browser and contains its own rendering engine. firefox uses as little RAM and storage as possible but there are limits & its requirements are similar to those of other full browsers like chrome or opera (not the mini version).

  • Why VPC is better than VSS?

    virtual port channel
    why VPC is better than VSS?
    any thing about VSS is better than VPC? if so, when to use VSS?

    for example, if have N7K, use VPC.
    Well yes because you can't use VSS with Nexus.
    how to think in terms of design?
    Don't really know what you are asking.
    As for the arp question it seems completely unrelated to what you originally asked.
    Try and focus on one question at a time and try and be clearer in what you are asking.

  • Why is mac better than pc?

    Hi guys.
    I'm doing a speech on why macs are better than pcs and have to come up with two college-level citations to support the point. Would you guys be able to help me with that? All I need is some data that can help me support the point.
    Thank you !

    Funny ... as my wife worked on her masters a couple years ago, Cal State Fullerton would not allow ANY citations from the Internet.
    But here's some background info for you ...
    http://www.apple.com/mac/
    You say you're a new MacBook Pro user ... What do YOU think about your new Mac?
    I was a Windows devotee for about 20 years. Until my wife brought home a co-worker's 17" MBP for me to play with. And I turned it on and played with it. And played with it. Realized it was about 3am the next morning - it was so enjoyably engrossing. I ordered my own that very day, and haven't looked back for a moment. Like excellent shoes that you can FEEL make a difference in your posture and spinal health, switching to a Mac was darned near a religious experience for me.
    And I am not alone ... (grin)
    Good luck with your research.
