Getting a modern browser

Posted on Monday, Jun 2, 2003 at 12:00 AM in Internet, Mozilla, Firefox

Slashdot found that MS IE6 SP1 will be the last standalone version that Microsoft makes available.

Joel on Software writes that he is making Mozilla Firebird his default browser

After downloading virtually every Mozilla release over the last three years, this is the first browser I'm actually going to make my default web browser. All the little problems are fixed. It loads fast. It's not ugly and clunky. My beloved Alt+D/Ctrl+Enter work perfectly. NT challenge/response authentication is supported. And there are new features, too: tabbed browsing, which is better than it sounds. Incremental search, which is brilliant and I already can't live without. Text size adjustments that always work. A download manager. Excellent cookie management. Oh, and no more whack-a-mole, the reason I've been trying to switch for so long in the first place.

X-Setup encountered an error while trying to retrieve the settings.This may be because you have not run Mozilla yet or the perferences are corrupted. Please run Mozilla or reinstall it. I have Internet Explorer 6 SP1 installed.I have Windows ME.Which version Mozilla is it?Tell me how to reinstall? Thank you,sir.
Sincerely,
Clinton Bradshaw
