Firefox Problems

I've been viewing your site in firefox since I've been viewing your site... which is at least 3 years. I've never had any problems with your site.

The youtube video isn't Firefox's fault, it is the flash applett that the video runs on. Firefox may not have been synchronised with your flash applet, or may have flash turned off as a security/ convenience thing (I have set my firefox to let me turn flash on and off with a button- because MySpace.com lets people auto-start music and videos using flash and this pisses me off when I'm browsing).

Yahoo Mail might be a similar issue with a 'seperate' plugin/ applet, such as Java. All these things are built into your Explorer because you use it a lot and have installed them there. If you've just got firefox, it needs to install them as well (or needs to know where on the computer Explorer has stored these tools so it can share them).

I've always thought of Firefox as a great browser for the web coder/ ddesigner to use, because it will do exactly what you tell it to, and this helps you see where your errors are. Explorer realises you've made a mistake and corrects for you. This is helpful, but also unhelpful as you don't realise you've made a mistake.

I would say... I must recommend Explorer to the majority like my mother and Firefox to people who want to see and feel all the problems like me. I want to find problems and fix, my mother does not want to see code, she just wants to read pages.

She actually thinks the blog is only by email.. I do not think she knows there are comments, and please nobody tell her.

I also always read your site with Firefox and never have problems. As for your mom--yes, just let her use IE. It's easier than installing something new. Firefox is better and more secure for the rest of us, though.

Yahoo Mail is working. My friend Steve recommended I upgrade to the newer beta version. This version works. However, a very good example of configurations needed. Now, I do not know. I do not want to spend today learning a new format. I am going to download all my emails and work off line so I can write emails.

Sitting on one place, I can learn a new format, program, moving and not a good idea if you have any clue what the word effective means.

I have discovered that Firefox has some big memory needs, or maybe more correct is quick memory needs. I am cleaning temp type memories continually because of using all the resources. Internet Explorer appears to continue to open the page, while the photos and other links on Firefox just break or will not resolve.

It remind me of 14 years ago when we had Window 95 and making pages. Had to really code correct or photos would not load. Plus now the pages jump around like 12-14 years ago.

Like a look back in time, and now i have to code the same. I made my first two years of pages in straight code. They did not any code programs like Frontpage or Dreamweaver.

I love to read the code of hand coders, they always have tons of mistakes.

I do not pay much attention to the source other than to get the SEO correct. I look at the fronts of pages. Laws of diminishing returns studying code to get 50 kilobytes less code.

To get optimal SEO, this is traffic. I remember a guy called Joe form HTML goodies.

A nice plug-in for firefox is IE Tab -- allows you to open MSIE in firefox, and/or toggle between FF and IE (while in FF) on open pages with a single button click.

The main reason I use Firefox is for security. In the past, IE was known to have horrible security problems whereas Firefox and Opera and Safari did not have these problem. I think those problem have mostly been fixed by now (IE 7), but I am still very mistrustful of Microsoft. Microsoft has a deserved reputation of being willing to use insecure technology if they think this will appeal to naive users (like your mother). Yes, Micrsoft makes things easy to use at first. And then all of a sudden, the whole computer is filled with malware and is not at all easy to use. In fact, it may no longer be usable at all.

SECURITY - SAFETY - NO PROBLEMS - I WANT NO PROBLEMS

This is my number one problem with Firefox. I am a traveler, I move from place to place. I turn off Microsoft Updates. I am extremely scared of these updates. I remember installing this service pack 2 and my computer stopped working. I was ok, my computer was good, I do what MS says to do, and I now have a no computer.

Danger - If you do not talk to anyone, do not live close to anyone, if you never see another person. I guarantee you will not be mugged.

If I do not download programs. I do not get on the internet, if I do not connect my computer to the internet. If I do not use an email client. If I do not put or allow a person to connect their camera IPOD, or Thumb Drive Flash chip, CD ROM, DVD etc

I do not need a virus program, there is no door open for them to enter.

When I am in Africa, and I click on a button that says DOWNLOAD. I know I have a possibility of getting F##ked. Confusing, I installled on a perfectly working computer, MINE, Real Player, somehow when I was not looking Firefox was installed. This program was old, a friend skypes me to update, I update. Now nothing works. My techie, my personal techies says, you must remove Fireforc, the directory and do it again. I say. MOTHER F##k

I am glad I am in Thailand, I would be out of business, no computer, and up S##T creek in Africa because I am trying to improve my computer.

I could start counting, however I have opened the door five times already, I have downloaded five times. There is nothing more likely to allow mallware, etc that to click on download.

I read all my emails on yahoo mail, deleted all the crap, suspicios and if a send me an email with his favorite download. I delete, I do not download.

I do not trust you, I do not trust anyone. I do not have problems. To use Firefox, I have to trust every nitwit techie making all these addons. MS or Independent techies. I do not trust the techies in my hosting companies as far as I can throw them. They are violent, caniving individuals.

Techies like to be clever, this is a very dangerous individual that hate MS and would like to hurt MS.

So this is 100 percent about securtiy. I know when I click on download. I need to be afraid. If I never click on download, my computer will probably alway run and work and I am in business.

I recommend you never click on download when you are traveling. Then when you do, think, is there a place or company in the country that can repair my computer.

HP is not in Togo or Ghana, the company is in Nigeria, HP was an airplane trip to Europe.

More or less, smart people say, I am smart, therefore everyone should be smart.

MS has security holes because they became too popular. Soon Firefox will have the same group. I remember when all the techies loved Google and hated Yahoo. If firefox takes over, they will have the same security problems, and I think they already do, as MS

Now, you can feel it, Google is too big, the world is starting to attack google.com.

I will say, and admit, Firefox is fun to play with. I have decided to play with it, then when I need to work. I open IE and work.

Just for the sake of comparison, browser profile for those visiting travelvice.com, for 2007:

33% - Firefox
60% - MSIE
* 63% - MSIE 6
* 36% - MSIE 7

MSIE and Firefox

There are two type of people. The internet savvy and trendy probably using firefox.

The normal person who purchased a computer to read email.

One is casual, the other is more obsessed, maybe sometimes focused.

The question is on a travel blog, do I want a casual reader or focused, I am quite sure when it upgrades to obsessed I want them to surf away.

So, in the past I did times new romans to annoy the obsessed webmasters, and now we do anti-firefox stuff to get the all or nothing firefox people to leave.

Hackers, quacks, 1 or 0 people are difficult, cause havoc, get angry and cannot accept a person is different. If I say MSIE, I am wrong, the truth is have fun, it does not matter which one you use as long as you are enjoying.

To say, I should, need, stupid it I do not, has nothing to do with 99.99 percent of user. Funny is, I am possilbly the 1 in 10,000 that may need to know how firefox works.
