Re: OT: Spread Firefox
Been using it since .6...i'm not sure I could work on a computer without Firefox anymore. The built in popup blocking and adblock extension makes my browsing nearly ad free..and tabbed windows are just too damned convenient to be given up.
I've tried Opera and MyIE but both of those are too bloated or have funky interfaces and neither one has an "adblock" extension that I ever saw. Also, neither of those is free, you have to pay to get rid of the built-in ads of their "free" Versions...Firefox is and always will be free

Re: OT: Spread Firefox
MyIE2 has adblock integrated along with it's popup block. And it is free to download, and it doesn't have any ads in it that I recall. But, when it comes down to it, it's only a front end to Internet Explorer, so all the same security issues and standard complience is still there. Firefox has now surpassed it in functionality and stability, so it is the best choice. Pretty much the only thing I miss from MyIE2 was the mouse gestures, but there's a plugin for Firefox for that now (and I've gotten used to not using them, and whenever someone else uses my computer the gestures confuse the hell out of 'em for some reason).

It opens it in Firefox without issue for me. Are you using Trillian Basic? I have Pro, so maybe it is something they decided to fix only in the Pro Version... |

Re: OT: Spread Firefox
Though I usually reject this kind of advertising, I have to agree with Fyron. I changed my browser to Firefox Last spring because I grew too annoyed with pop ups with IE and I have been very satisfied since. Also I like especially the interleves ability which IE lacks, for it allows me to have several sites open concurrently without browser processes eating all of my RAM and also this "gray balk" where all Windows programs are wisible, is not too crowded.
I don't know about Opera or Lynx or other browsers. They might be as good as Firefox, but this beats IE and Netscape 10-0.
