Hmm, my friend told me that I could download the entire Firefox and bring it to work and plug and play using Firefox.  But, because I'm not a techie like he is, I don't GET IT.  *cries*

Im so far happy with IE 7. Whats the better things about FireFox over all the others? Will it screw with anyprograms and stuff that I have? What about games and stuff?

  I know you tried to answer before the borken but Im kinda lost.

My IE had just been crashing everyday and I just got feed up. Firefox doesn't crash.

Thanks SD, but I have only had one crash in my life on all six of the computers I have had and it was on the fifth one, the laptop. The reason I figured was cause I wasnt useing a firewall and I had been perusing and downloading from a lot or 'risky' sites.

"Risky" sites usually equals PORN.  Do share.  ;)  tee hee...
Title: Re: I've switched to FireFox
Post by: Russ on Nov 14 06 02:52
I will neither confirm nor deny this as I cannot comment on the risky sites as the male law demands, they are all games and music as Im sure you believe me, but I can say the harddrive had 60 gigs of downloaded materials.

Ah c'mon, Russ! (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  I can honestly say I have NEVER download porn. Truth be told. I can't speak for my other twin though.

I've downloaded some unmentionable downloads....hmmm..you know, for curiosity sake.  Yup.  But, that was a LONG time ago.  

  Aw, c'mon Russ.  COME ON RUSS!  Don't be share.  You're safe with me and DS.  We won't tell, now would we, Lise. ;)  kee hee.eeeeee...

One thing I notice about the young ladies nowadays is that they openly enjoy porn more that generations past.  They even shock me nowadays, having survived the puritanical Andrea Dworkin-era vilification of porn, relegating discussion of the topic to psychiatrists\' patient\'s chairs or confessional booths.  They now ask me to reccommend titles, and I can barely utter a stuttering red-faced response to their queries.

Agree.  Women are a lot more open and subjective to porn these days.  But, why would I download anything when I could simply grab my b/f's porn DVD's (the very few that he has) and the mags?  LOL!

  For examply, in our living room, my boyfriend puts up this very beautiful naked girl who is on her front with legs somewhat hiked up and you could see her cleaveage.  She's on the beach..all wet and sandy.  I have no problems or conflicts about having that picture up there in the first place.  We've had female friends come over and they were just so shocked that I would allow such a poster.  I said "why?"  What's the big freakin deal?  That girl is beautiful.  I like beautiful pictures.

lol, i just thought about when I was younger being completely confused. I went to a museum with my parents and saw my mother looking at painted pictures of naked ladies calling them art, when not long before that she caught me looking through some of my dads old magazines and throwing them out calling them trashy.

Yeah... :rolleyes:

Firefox has its own security and other issues, take that from me.
Better not make yourself any illusions on that account. With time passing, more will show up, that's inevitable.

Firefox is very alluring and attractive with all those extensions and what have you which make you feel it's practically been tailored to your taste, but don't fool yourself.

Just read the new topic about Firefox.
