Mozilla Firefox
I am using this now on my PBG4.
This seems to be a good degree faster than Safari, and definately a bit easier to install (drag Icon to Applications and then drag icon to dock, and replace Firefox with Homsar icon). I'm also using this with Windows 2000 on the laptop. Has anyone else had this good an experience with a browser upgrade? Mitch |

Excellent browser!
I'm using it on 3 different X86 machines. That the Adobe SVG6 beta works well as a plug in helps all too much. |

My only complaint is that the new version didn't pick up my 0.7 plugins (Flash, etc.) and I had to reinstall them manually, but I'm not prepared to say that it may not have been my fault.
I have managed to convert a few people with this version, and all in all, I'm terribly pleased with it. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

Big fan. I wish it handled clicking on .wmv correctly. When I do so, it opens the movie as a text file.

Pretty happy with Firefox...hope they can stick with a name for longer than 2 releases this time. Its a lot leaner than Mozilla, and beats the pants off of IE. I'll have to give it a shot on my Mac, but I've been pretty happy with Safari so far.
A .wmv plugin would be really, really nice.

I don't think that is an error with FireFox -- it sounds like the server doesn't have its Mimetypes configured correctly. IE automatically corrects a lot of HTML and server config errors by understanding how to display them. Try going to MS's site with Firefox and browsing through KB articles -- they look like total shit compared to viewing them on IE. Why? Firefox is displaying the code just fine, MS has just coded it to not match HTML/XML standards. Think that might be on purpose? Naaaah! Firefox kicks ass. |

I currently run Firebird 0.7 and it works great but Firefox is giving me a problem. When I try to run Firefox I get a dialog box that says this:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul Line Number 46, Column 1 The program won't start it just gives the above compiler error code. I could neither find the undefined entity in question or find any information on the Firefox website. My knowledge of XML is sketchy at best. Does anyone know what it means?

Well, I'm sure there'll be a 0.8.1 release soon for the Mac crowd. Maybe I should volunteer as a tester. = Pie

I'd pick it up if I weren't using Moz 1.6...Goddamn, I love Mozilla.

If you applied a theme, try changing it back to one of the default themes... just a guess.

I remember, back when I was trying to figure things out with Windows 2000, that IE totally screwed up on their online help files at microsoft.com. The only way I could extract useful information was with Mozilla.
