I've never had good luck with firefox. I start using it for a few weeks...and shit starts getting fucked up...and I go back to IE. I really wish someone would come out with something that does the trick...but so far, no one has been able to...

Do you have trouble with any particular sites? I use it nearly 100% of the time and have very few problems.

If he goes back to IE, he's using a PC.

Sarah, check this out. In Paypal, the "virtual help rep" is named Sarah and here's the pic of her:

I'm burying it in this thread so Paypal doesn't come after us in case you want to use it as an av.

Put some glasses on her, and there's no difference.

Hah!! I will do that...

Oh, did you switch? Cool... I remembered once you mentioning using Opera, and that Firefox seemed to hog too much memory. I did try Opera at the time from your suggestion, but for me it didn't seem to scroll pages quite so smoothly. Maybe that was just if I was using a scroll wheel instead of dragging the scroll bar.

Yeah, I'm in a Firefox phase right now but I generally go through these where I'll use one for awhile and then the other. I may stay in this phase, though. Opera has a built-in newsreader, which was really the main reason I was using it for awhile but I found a plug-in for Outlook that I do that with now.

You know, it's been such a long time since I tried a switch, I couldn't rattle sites off the top of my head. It would be generally be sites that had java applets and/or activeX embeds.

I might give it another go.....just to see.
