Thanks AMDave. I like Firefox so far. I switched as the writte up in Oct 2004 PCUser magazine on pages 85-87 convinced me and the program is on the CD.
My son has been using it for a few weeks and loves it.

Thanks Beerknurd, yes pressing the scroll button on the mouse down and then hovering over the up or down arrows works. I hadn't thought of that, I'm used to using the scroll wheel.

I know it's not as easy as the wheel, but remember back in the old days when you actually had to use the scroll bar on the right?? LOL, that sucked!!!

[AMDave]

Oh, yes. forgot to add....I don't have a scroll mouse.
Sad but true.

[Beerknurd]

Dude that sucks.... You should really think about getting out of the 90's...

[AMDave]

Yeah. No point in holding out for eye-movement & voice control. By the time it arrives I'll be too old to talk above a whisper & too blind to see the damn thing anyway
I'll put it on the christmas list.

I'm a Firefox and T'bird user. Anything that's not MS.

As Dave says, still some issues with Firefox, I thought mostly banking sites, but obviously there are more.

Any page that doesn't work, right click and select "open in IE". Save re-typing.

No wheel on my mouse either, still in the 90s eh!

[Beerknurd]

you guys are killing me with your old ass mouses... You can get a scroll mouse for 10 bucks.....

Heh, my 10 year old Logitech trackball lacks a scroll wheel as well. Oh, and to stay on topic.... Firefox user here.

[vaughan]

Equinox, do you know of any other Firefox (or is it Windows?) issues?

[Beerknurd]

I loved Firefox.... Since I reformated my drive, I haven't installed it again.... But I will soon. Is Thunderbird just an e-mail client???
