usually my firewall asks me if I want to allow the newest versions, but I just uninstalled it and am running no firewall right now.
edit*** weird, that firewall was NOT running I swear. So I loaded it, allowed firefox's newest version, and now it works. how weird

Firefox 2.0.0.9 loaded without a hitch and has been running smoothly since. OS is Windows 2000, SP4.
As for what the new version fixed, go here. Meanwhile, IE is GREAT!...for allowing all sorts of spyware, malware, adware, and other nasties into your system, quite a few with the apparent blessings of MacroSlush.

I use IE, have for years, during which I've had no walware (...) that I've ever noticed. That includes going to sites like GLP (which Ive set as a non-trusted site). For a list of why Firefox 2.0.0.9 is perfect (but 2.0.0.8 wasn't) see here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox.../releasenotes/

i prefer Firefox because it's just faster.. and knowing that Mr Gates' people have to work just that much harder to monitor my every move is just the icing on the cake.
now, if we could just get Microsoft to sell a full featured version of XP Pro without IE on it at all- for under $50- life would be good. yes, i know that Windoze Exploder is tied in with Internet Exploder, but Firefox also works for finding stuff on your computer, too..

Look, I'm not going to get into MS bashing at all. I just think Firefox is better. For years I used IE. It was fine. I saw no reason to change. But I tried Firefox and found it was better.
Moral of the story? If you like IE better, fine. If you like Firefox better, fine too. Just don't insult each other over something so petty as preference. And please don't insult a company for making a product no one is forcing you to use.

One doesn't have to insult MicroStealth.
All one needs to do is list all their attempts to monopolize the PC market. And to foist bloatware on the end users. And to market as new something other software companies have had for years. And to rush barely beta products to market and let the customers be the testers. And...

Nope, you're not forced to use it, but you damn well better have it installed on your computer so that your OS and many applications will run.

So download Linux. Nothing's stopping you. I just don't understand why anyone would attack a company for making a product that is not mandatory to use.
