Super Fast Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 I wonder if my extensions have anything to do with the latest Firefox running really slow for me? No. That won't slow it down at all. Kidding! You can't even see the web page! WHOA!!! LOL! Where did u find that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted September 19, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2011 I remembered this guy some time ago installed 100, and then another guy went 1 better. Well, 100 better to be accurate. http://cybernetnews.com/cybernotes-200-firefox-extensions-installed-at-one-time/ List of his 200 Extensions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhawk Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 So many Firefox versions, so little time I don't know why people are obsessed with Firefox beta releases it's not like you're forced to install every new version I'm sure Internet Explorer is no different at Microsoft except we (the general public) are not invited to test them out. I didn't have many questions, just wanted to know which FF features made people want to use it as their default. I guess you could argue IE vs Firefox vs Chrome vs Mozilla till the cows go home I think most people prefer their browsers because they've become accustom to them and reluctant to try new things. I've been using Firefox for many years as an alternative to Internet Explorer (and Netscape before Firefox) because to be honest Internet Explorer prior to version 6.0 had been nothing but a pain in the arse and BHO collector. While it's true Firefox may not win the war on rendering speed which is frankly negligible, I like the customised themes and plugin capabilities you feel like you're in control of your browsing experience. I can decide which sites use Java Script with a plugin, I can block annoying adverts and pop ups thanks to plugins (if you've visited MySpace you know how ad-infested this site is). The list of possible plugins is endless with Firefox but you can get the general idea though and this is what appeals to me. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I remember having to buy Netscape at Fryes' Electronics because my PowerMac 8500 didn't have a web browser in 1995. Back when browsers cost about $40 in order to connect to the innertubes via dial-up. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted September 22, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2011 I remember when I first heard on here (quite some time ago) that you pioneers had to actually buy a browser. Wow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Once I finally got on the internet, all I saw were ads. If you didn't know about Google you were pretty much screwed. A neighbor had to tell me how to get there. "Now what do I do" was said a lot during those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 23, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 23, 2011 Once I finally got on the internet, all I saw were ads. If you didn't know about Google you were pretty much screwed. After having Internet access for one month back in late 1998 the first thing I bought on the Internet was some ad blocking software to block the horde of Internet ads, it worked very good and from that point on I've blocked ads.

spelbynder Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Forget the horribly over-bloated Firefox (which used to be good circa 1.0 PR) and try out the stripped-down Pale Moon browser! Windows 7 - Office 2010 - Internet Explorer 9 All better than the versions preceding them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted September 23, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 23, 2011 We were all into Amiga's years ago (Sensible Soccer), and my mate down the street decided to get a PC. A group of us all thought he was a traitor. And he didn't get onto the internet for quite some time, but I do remember the constant barrage of pop up ads. Some pretty nasty as well.

Super Fast Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 I used to disable images/flash on a page so I could use text browsing in my research. Made it much faster, while I was on dialup. Sometimes, I would re-enable them, to download things, or try experiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
