Moving to Mozilla

[liralen]

I've been running Netscape 7 and resisting upgrading to Mozilla 1.7.* because getting to Netscape 7 was such a pain.

Such was not the case with Mozilla 1.7.3. I just installed it and it just worked and looked, pretty much, like my old browser, with all the bookmarks that I had on my personal toolbar. Better yet, the mail tool let me resubscribe to my unsubscribed mail folders, which NS 7 just wouldn't let me get anymore.

Yay for painless upgrades!!

Wahoo! Isabel just called me to say that they're going to get Jet. Now for some naptime...

Excellent!

I installed Firefox after we got back from London, but I still find myself using IE most of the time, mainly because of the internet macros and form filling add-ons I use with it. For straightforward web browsing, Mozilla seems to be a big improvement...and PC Magazine reports that Google is about to release its own web browser. Good. Maybe that'll cause Microsoft to come out of their coma and actually make some improvements to IE, since they basically stopped upgrading it once Netscape ceased being a competitor.

Cool about Google.

I have a funny feeling that MS is going to let go of the Browser "market" as it's pretty much a commodity, now. All I can see is energy going to patching up security holes in what they have, no improvements, and none in the future that I can see. So going with something else is just what I want.

I'm big time into the "Firebird" kool-aid. It's a wonderful browser.
