Why is Firefox the best browser in your opinion?

Do websites look better in Firefox?

As I will be working mostly on the iMac I prefer to connect the 'sharing drive' through a thunderbolt cable to my iMac. As I will be working remotely on my Macbook Pro (All on the same network though) my question is: What kind of drive and/or which solution would suit me best to setup a network between the two computers knowing a thunderbolt connection to my iMac is preferred and a wireless network would service/connect my MacBook Pro.
Good to see you thinking of using a fast hard disk on the desktop rather than network drives.. it is much faster.. the latest iMac should also have USB3 which is slower than thunderbolt but still very fast.. faster than most hard disk.. so the advantage of thunderbolt would be moot.. and the cost of thunderbolt is still excessive.
It is simple .. you just share the disk to the network.
There is a bit here on sharing a drive on the network for TM .. but it doesn't need to be TM.. any files can be copied to the drive.

Let me make a comment though.. transfer to the disk is going to be rate limited by wireless.. in fact you can use a USB disk plugged into the TC and still get the same speed. Wireless is the limiting factor.. if you use ethernet at all on the laptop then the USB drive on the computer is much faster.
Internal drive on the TC can also be updated.. I don't really like most of the 3TB drives but a 2TB is cheap enough.. and it is simple to replace.. just do a google.
eg

Then you can use TM to still backup the internal and external drive in the iMac.. do not forget backup is still important.

Suddenly Firefox is crashing just as I hit send on an email...losing everything I've written! I hate IE, too. So what's the best browser?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:

How do you make Firefox the default browser when the normal way doesnt work?

Im trying completely from chrome after a friend showed my how much firefox has got its act together. However i cant for the life of me set it as the default browser. I have tried the "make firefox the default browser" button in firefox, which simply opens the windows default programs panel. Whenever i try to use the panel it simply sets the http protocol to nightly which isnt even installed!( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think a possible fix would be to manually change the registry, but i wouldnt know where to start.

Did you check the box on ''Options > Advanced > General >[X] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"?
Have you restarted Firefox and if so, or when you do so, what does that section on the advanced Firefox options show?
Have you tried restarting your system after setting the default browser using the second suggestion and, after restart, check the setting per the second suggestion to see if that setting is holding?
Updating your Plugins would have no affect on the default browser question. It was something that you needed to do to avoid security issues online by using an out of date version of Java. Java is not involved in the default browser issue. That is why I separated it from the first part of the reply with a line and began with the word "Other".

what is the best browser to run oracle 10g forms_

Hello Ady,
Hey not all of us have a religionok, I extend my statement to those with a different religion, atheists, agnostics and anybody who does not beliefe in a divine being of any kind ;-)
some of us are bright enough to be atheistsThe implicit statement of this is not better than greeting only users of a certain religion.
To the OP: I respect your belief, but we had the discussion about greetings in this forum before. To most users any relation to a religion is inapropriate and considered a violation of the Terms of Use, e.g. {message:id=9677530}.

Is there a firefox or best browser (except IE) for Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard? if so, is it free of charge (open source) forever? where can I get it? details. need answers to all questions

is there a firefox or best browser (except IE) for Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard? if so, is it free of charge (open source) forever? where can I get it? details. need answers to all questions

# As to what is the best browser, it is subjective. I think it is the best, others will disagree. There is no special version for Windows Server 2003, the usual version works on it.
# It is free of charge and will always be free.
# It is open source.
# You can get it from http://www.mozilla.com

How do I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative Windows XP account, where clicking to do so has no effect?

I have two accounts for myself on my PC running Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that opens when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows it's the default browser there.
In my other account, every time I start Firefox, it tells me it's not the default browser. Clicking there to make it the default, or in the options, does nothing.
When I go to Set Program Access and Defaults in the administrative account, "Use my current Web browser" is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my non-administrative account, the Add or Remove Programs control panel can't be used. It says I don't have permission.

To check that in the other account you would have to give it temporarily administrator permissions.

How to make Firefox the default browser for Hotmail

I recently uninstalled Safari because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. Previously when I click the Mail button in Windows Live Messenger, the mac would automatically open my hotmail in Safari. Now that I have uninstalled it, when I click on the Mail button, it opens up with TextEdit. How do I make it open with Firefox?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

OK I'll post there also but I'm aware of the preferences section in Safari... thing is, when I choose to make Firefox the default browser, it resets back to Safari when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. Everytime. And it does my head in
I heard of a program called More Internet that I heard could help slove the problem but I can't understand how to use it, nor is there any forum or any way to contact anyone who knows. It's driving me up the wall.
So I'm hoping there's another way that someone in the world knows.

What is the best browser to use for facebook?

What is the best browser to use for facebook?

Any browser is supposed to work, provided the rest of the infrastructure (Flash, Java) is up to date.
However, since FB is so prone to install/modify/alter its settings/cookies/environment, I prefer to keep mine sandboxed and access it only via a dedicated browser used for nothing else, thus minimizing the risk and exposure. For that, I use the Flock browser, purportedly optimized for social media: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19719/flock

Is there a way to make Firefox the default browser?

No more detail is needed

hello cole_l, yes - please see [[Make Firefox the default browser on Android]] for instructions.

Best Bios in your opinion for Neo2 Plat

Trying all these bios's myself but just curious as to what you ppl have found to be the best bios for your setup with overclocking in mind.
The best I can do so far with my crappy samsung TCCC chips is 265X9.5 or 250X10.5
Also any Ideas why system won't boot overclocked and setting CPU multi to an even number meaning 8,9,10,11,12 the only stable boots I can get are with a half number 9.5, 10.5, 11.5 or 12
Thanks for your thoughts and comments.

Quote from: JasonKruys on 21-February-05, 05:44:57
Well at 245x10.5 your RAM is running at 233......(245x10.5)/11...
As stated before when half multipliers are used, the RAM is divided by the next whole multiplier.
Also, at 3 and 4 multi, your RAM is not running at the speed you think it is either, but slower.
A full multiplier table can be seen here, posted by Oskar Wu, a DFI mobo tech http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41595&highlight=multiplier+table
Thank you thank you. Now it totally all makes sence. I know I have a really chitty ram but now it makes sence that it won't go that high in ram frequency.
But my question still stands what bios to you all like to use on this mobo.

Is it possible to make the Private Firefox browser the default browser on your PC?

When accessing stories with all browsers closed for example, on Yahoo, the article(s) open in my default browser which is Firefox. Is it possible to establish the Private Browsing Firefox as default somehow?

You can put Firefox in permanent private browsing mode.
# Click either the Firefox button or the Tools menu and choose Options.
# Click the Privacy icon.
# Set "Firefox will: Never remember history".

Yoga 2 Pro- Best browser in your experience? (Image Scaling)

As many of you Y2P owners have no doubt noticed, a number of third party apps look... off when viewign them on the Y2P because the screen is a higher resolution than they're optimized for. Unfortunately, Chrome is one of those apps. Considering that I've been on Chrome on the mac I used to use (Just switched to Windows with the Y2P) and the android phone and tablet that I own, I was hoping to keep that going here on my Y2P. Sadly, Chrome doesn't quite scale right with everything , particularly text, looking fuzzy in desktop mode, and that being the case I've switched off of it.
At this point, the only two browsers that seem to scale correctly are IE 11 and Firefox, though I'm open to suggestions for other options that I'm not aware of. To my fellow Y2P owners, do you use Firefox? IE? Or just suck it up and use some third party borswer, odd scaling and all? I'm using firefox, but for whatever reason it chooses to load certain webpages completely, then immeadiately redirect me to that website's "page not found" screen, and Youtube thumbnails are still scaled incorrectely and therefore are borderline unuseable so I'm debating just dealing with IE since IE 11 isn't nearlay as bad as everyone says, but I wanted to post here and see if any others had some suggestions.

hello. ooooh. kaiser121 i like to try browsers. i am not a yoga user, but we are all browser user. The central browser becomes more important every day. i am so surprised that someone has not ripped off a long wikilist of browsers to try! direct recommendation is risky ? in public forum? with ie10 ie moved to the top again in my book. ie11 lately is letting me down. firefox just became usable again when it hit v.29 There has been many version changes since the first post open. recently i think f irefx 31 was better page control than 33. i prefer k-meleon. I cannot report on yoga view, but i will mention some browsers that can always appreciate feedback on any. Opera was changing its engine when you tried it. things change quickly. what do you judge? will convenient use of zoom help any of you? does full screen [F11] suit any of you? (if you are learning new habits then maybe full screen is for you) in F11 you cannot tell what browser you are in; it just works. font style and size make difference? using Modern version? desktop version? so resizing is a major concern? there is more specialized browsers than these. some security configuring and some include file manager. I'd like any comment about liking any one.
What is looking best on your yoga today?
k-meleon(74), qupzilla(1.8.4), slimboat(1.1.53), OperaNext(26)
can hardly believe kept list to four. what is on your trial list that you can tell us about?
find joy.

The window where Domain Name, Edit, Modify doesn't show up to access my Fatcow website on my new iMac in Firefox (the only browser Macs can use). Help!

Just got a new iMac. For the first few days, I was able to log in to, then access the window in Fatcow web host that allows me to make changes to my website. Now, the window that is supposed to say "Domain Name" and "Edit" and "Modify" is blank, so I cannot access my website to make changes. Firefox is the only browser available to Macs through Fatcow. In the two weeks before getting the iMac, I had the same problem on an Acer laptop. Hughesnet is our internet provider, since we live in the country. I have worked with several Fatcow techs, and they do not believe the problem is on their end. When I open Firefox, there is now also a message that says I'm missing plugins, yet when I follow the plugin link, no plugins are listed as missing. I have removed/reinstalled Firefox, to no avail. I have turned off the clear-cookies-automatically add-on, cleared the cache and history, etc., to no avail. I have printed out the HTML script for the Fatcow window from my Mac at work (from which I can access the window) and compared to the one at home. There doesn't appear to be any script missing, but I can't say for sure. I have read several articles, hoping for clues to fixing this problem. Now I need your technical expertise. HELP!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I have FF Vers 27.0.1 so why won't the latest browser update not install on my Windows XP system?

I went to a website with tons of different graphics. A window popped up alerting me to a browser extension update. I clicked on it and a Firefox update screen appeared saying my Firefox 27.0 browser was outdated. I saved the updater: Setup.exe. by clicking on the Accept and Install button in the setup box. What happens is that it just keeps saving the download when you click on the Accept and Install button and never goes to the install part.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! only download firefox from its official location at mozilla.org - in addition updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox'').
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
