Firefox
 

If you're using Firefox, you can access 7 hidden pages, acording to this site.
In the Cellar, we do it all for you. :D

NOTE- In the "about: plugins" I had to add a space between the colon and the P, because that gives a smillie in the middle of the text. Take the space out to use it.

cool !!!!

huh...

I like about:blank.

Another neat trick that works in most browsers is that in the url box you can type in javascript.

e.g.: javascript:alert("hello, cellar!");

Fun stuff; I'm going to go hit myself in the head with a shovel.

I'm thinking about getting Firefox. Those of you that have it, is it worth it?

What browser are you using now?

If you use IE, then there's no question: get Firefox.

If you use Opera, then you might want to try Firefox out.

If you use Safari, then you're a Mac user and your preferences are almost impossible to infer.

If you use a text-based browser, then you're probably a twit.

Firefox is my primary browser. I've also loaded up with a few add ons, possibly one too many. I installed the spell checking dictionary, which slows down my keystrokes while typing posts but offers real time spell checking.

With Firefox 1.5 I did have a problem with Amazon.com not loading pages, but that disappeared with version 2.0.

I prefer it to IE 6.0. I have IE 7.0 installed now, but don't use it and haven't done any in-depth comparison.

I have IE7 and Firefox 2 and I prefer Firefox. Though it does tend to start to use a ridiculous amount of ram if you leave the same window open for awhile. Quick question, what the hell is going on with this on my machine:

If you can't tell from the picture, the process "iexplorer.exe" is highlighted and currently using 97k+ of ram. And it is always running.. always. I can even select "end process" which will successfully end it, but seconds later it will pop up again on the list and quickly climb to that same amount of ram usage.
I have tried probably half a dozen different spyware and malware programs and they pick up nothing on my machine. I even tried running them all at once just for kicks and still nothing.

iexplore.exe is Internet Explorer, or at least it's supposed to be. Maybe some startup process is starting it for their own purposes.

Yeah I figured that's what it is. It is also running two other iexplorer.exe processes at the same time, but those two only use 4-7k of memory. It makes no difference in the amount of memory used whether I have Internet Explorer open or not. Any ideas on how I can track down what program is using IE and nix it from startup?

Don't know.

I've found that sometimes Process Explorer can help. Process Explorer is Task Manager on steroids. It's a utility you can download here. It'll sometimes show which processes are children of other processes.

I use Start-up Inspector to see and edit what programs are included in the start-up automatically. Free and effective. ;)

Autoruns
 

If you really want to know what gets started up, try Autoruns from Sysinternals (since acquired by Microsoft).

You can get this from www.sysinternals.com, under Security utilities.

It's really a great program.

Thanks,

I think XP is using IE. Microsoft integrated Internet Explorer into the OS; you may not be able to get rid of it.

Thanks for the input, guys.:) I'm definetly gonna try it as soon as I can be bothered.
