    Im been using Firefox for a while now and really enjoy it.

    I like how you can download certin themes and design the way you what your browser to look when opened.

    i still put up with IE6 at home and work, though on linux box at work i use Firefox or Konquerer or whatever browser i click on by accident. rarely use that box to surf though as work moans about us multitasking when it comes to the internet. yet we have to multitask for all other tasks. hmmm!. must admit i haven't done anything with firefox other than to install it. i lose interest very fast with tweaking things constantly as opposed to using them. i think it's a Tech Support thing!.


    ps. gear79 - congrats

    I guess I'll be the oddball, as I've been using Maxthon. I just sort of took a liking to its overall layout. Sometimes if I really get bored I'll pretend it's Winamp and change up on the skin.

    mlinuxko, is there a problem I can help you with? I sure hope so because unwarranted bashing of another member is a great way to get into hot water with me.

    Well sarcasm/joke is very difficult to insert in text as english is not my native language. However I will edit my original message. (- one word). Better now?
