The new FF has some good functions as well. such as for example if I just type "toontastic" in the address bar it brings me right here. None of this "www .net malarky.

Fop 1 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 who uses it and what are the pro's and cons ? Compared to Internet Explorer? Pro's? It's much more secure (especially if you run it with noscript and adblocker plus add-ons), loads of features (even more with add-ons), it's got a nice icon ( ). Con's? No really, there's a very, very few webpages that don't like it (but it's very few), but even those can be run with an IE emulation add-on.

Lazarus 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 i think leazes has got his wires crossed. what youve got to remember leazes is that firefox is a browser and nothing more. IE is more than just a browser - its embedded in the OS at kernel level if i remember rightly. in other words, its a fundamental part of the OS.

JawD 48 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 You can keep using OE as you do now if you wish. FF only replaces IE, nothing to do with OE (bloody hell, listen to me man ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OE - Outlook Express is a stand alone Email/news client. Nothing to do with IE - Internet Explorer IE - Internet Explorer is for browsing t'internet Googlemail is an online email service that you can access through any web browser by going to www.gmail.com. You can also set this up with mail forwarding so that it forwards your mail to your mail client (like OE). Firefox will replace IE. So, you will be able to access your mail online or if you do email forwarding then it wont effect that as thats between googles mail server and your email client (OE).
