Firefox 3.5.3 Now Out but...

[Deuce Bigolo]

Thumbs up the firefox 3.5.3

On my ancient PC(1.8cpu,256ram) its running as quick as chrome
multiple tabs open without any tweaking

All the issues seem to be 3rd party software/add-ons of which I have very few

In depth reviews on all the browsers that count.

The only one i wouldnt use is IE(input the number)

Thanks for that link Deuce - lots of handy info.

BTW I was talking to one of the I.T. nerds at work about browsers today and he said that Microsoft had withdrawn support for IE8 for a while recently because it had serious security issues. So I guess you're right about avoiding anything prefixed with IE.

Microsoft have never withdrawn support for any of their products due to security issues, by its vary nature, they support them by supplying the patch. Like all other major software companies, they only withdraw support when the product becomes End Of Life (EOL)

The 'IT nerd' obviously knows jack shit about IT at all.

You're probably right. I dunno why it wasn't cracked in March, then. Money/hardware is at stake after all (???)! Mind you, I did say it was only safer than Safari !wink!

and download the updates for 2, but NEVER uptate to 3!

I'm sure i read support for number 2 versions has or will cease soon

Using old outdated technology which has knwon security flaws is worse than using the newest upgrades which is having issues

using an alternate browser would be better but each to his/her own

[Deuce Bigolo]

Even as vulnerable as IE is its still worth keeping on board for that one site that wont respond to any other browser

From memory windows manual updates require IE


I wonder how many suckers will take up microsofts free liveonecare software...now that is a something they've dropped judging by industry reactions to it going from paid to free

That might be so, but his girlfriend is an absolute fucking raver. That has to count for something!
