Web Browser THE BEST ?
Tony:
Good for you Lona Lass, I had no problem my email program, I use Outlook and think I'll keep it that way, although Mozzila has it's own email program. What has it not got is more like, and yes it does appear to load faster. Either way we have the choice of two browsers, I was planning on trying another, hence I started this thread. ;D

Tony,
In the Cookie Manager, you can choose which sites to allow cookies from, and which not to. Obviously it would take some time to set up, and I admit is not an ideal solution, but I suppose you could build a list of cookies to block, then you would not have to delete the ones you want to keep, if you see what I mean. It would be nice to be able to save certain cookies from being zapped, I have to admit, but that's a minor gripe in my opinion.
Yes I do use the Mail Client, simply because it's not quite so vulnerable to all these bugs and holes that Outlook seems to get. Not having a central Inbox does take some getting used to, particularly if you have multiple mail accounts, but it's perfectly workable. Here's a little tweak - if you want to set the background colour of your e-mails, you can do this in about:config (type that in address bar), but putting in the HTML colour code, under msgcompose.background_color. A list of HTML colour codes can be found here.
The pop up stopper is the best I have come across, which doesn't seem to stop the ones you actually want, unlike most of the third party ones used with IE. If you come to a site where you want pop ups to get through, just click Tools > Pop Up Manager > Allow Pop Ups From This Site, and job done. It also blocks those pesky pop unders.
Lona, I can't understand why it would have affected your OE log in details. I think that may have been down to the other thing you changed, as it may now think you are someone different! Anyway, if you use the password manager in Mozilla, you'll only have to put your passwords in once, and it will remember them. Can't see why your Hotmail shouldn't work, but I've always found that downloading Hotmail in Outlook / OE is not always that reliable.
Anyway, keep at it guys! There's loads of features to discover! I must get to work now - catch you later! :D :D

Cheers Simon,
but it looks like I'll be sticking with IE:6, well forced to really >:( Because the encrypted site I use to log onto my 'tradeing platform' will not work with Mozzila. But I can and proburbly will use it on an evening when the Markets are closed.
But my needs are not the norm, and would certainly recommend Mozzila to others.
Simon:
That's a shame, Tony. There are a small handful of website which are not compatible with Mozilla. This is not a fault in Mozilla, it's just that the websites concerned have been designed to only work on one platform, that being IE, but these are few in number. The online facility for my Marbles card doesn't work with Moz either, but, apart from Windows Updates, that is the only site where I am forced to use IE. All my other credit card sites, and my Halifax home banking services work fine.
I hope you do continue to use Moz when you are not trading, Tony. Just a point, but could you not set Moz as your default browser, and just use IE for your trading, or is it not that simple?
Tony:
Great Minds Simon........ ::) Thats just what I have deceided to do.
Because if I only use IE:6 for my Trading Platform, I cannot crash IE:6, if I'm not using it for any other applications.
