0 CJH Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have the updated Firefox 3.0, what's the advantage of 3.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bobbymalone Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 bugs fixed, security issues dealt with, i dunno.one thing though, since they aren't charging you for it it's probably a legitimate update rather than a pay for the same thing you had before.

0 DTro Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Never did like Chrome myself. Haven't noticed any major changes to FF with the latest update, other than the + sign on the tab bar to open a new tab window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 upnorth Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I tried Chrome and wasn't impressed. And the new FF is not that much different. It does give you the option of for private browsing where your PC accepts no cookies, nor tracks history. And of course there are less security holes.

0 BobT Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I've switched to Firefox a few months ago and I like it much better than IE. I like the ability to customize and it has a far better assortment of personalization add-ons and of course the speed difference is what really sold me up front.Edit: Oops. Too quick on the submit button. I've never tried Chrome yet. From visiting the HSOforum I thought it looked a lot like a clone to IE.

0 Wish-I-Were-Fishn Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 The new FF is faster then the old. I noticed that right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ufatz Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I second all comments about FFox. Got sick to death of IE8 and its predecessors and finally made the switch a month ago. Would never go back. FFox markedly faster and cleaner, just as friends had been yammering about for last couple years. Go for it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LMITOUT Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Since Chrome came out I haven't been back to Firefox. The only thing Chrome lacks is support for some routers where you configure the settings via the browser. At least that's the only shortfall I've found in my use.

The only thing Chrome lacks is support for some routers where you configure the settings via the browser. At least that's the only shortfall I've found in my use. I think the lack of upgrade plug-ins is also another down fall of Chrome. Firefox has a ton, but I have heard/read that is changing soon.I just switched over from AOL and IE, to Firefox about 2 months ago and really like it. Hard to break the habits of opening the old browsers, but have noticed a positive difference in surfing speed and options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jeremy airjer W Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Welcome to the firefox browser brotherhood! My now brother in law turned me onto it years ago. At first I was not impressed. I kept an eye on it and within a year it was all I was using. Internet Explorer is so 2007! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shack Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yep, you where one of the reasons I switched. You brag it up so much, I figured it was worth a try. I got into Firefox when we where talking about video capture awhile back. Another neat plug-in/feature of Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
