pixey Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 I agree that Active X is a bad thing but there are times with a Gateway and Microsoft that I need it. When I need to run tests on my computer I need to connect with Gateway and Microsoft via an Active X Control. This is the reason I need it. Plain and Simple. So I have to have it. Now if you all would like to start a thread on how bad an Active X control is then by all means do it. This thread is about FireFox, how do I use it and the trouble I am having. Now FireFox is not the best browser and it does have flaws as I am finding out directly from Mozilla! Peruse their forums, go to their knowledge base, view the FAQs and you will see what I mean. And lets not even get started with the whole Alt attribute and title attributes subject nor the whole Flash and Java difficulties! Thank you very much and have a nice day.

I guess I've just been very lucky. I've never had any problems with Firefox. I've been using it since 0.9 was released. Occasionally I will encounter a site that mandates that I use IE and that really ticks me off Give it a week or so, Pixey, and if you don't feel FF is worth using, you can always go back to IE or maybe try Opera.

Mustard Death Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Uh... hey people. I just started using Firefox (Noob/10), and I'm having some trouble. I don't really need flash (in fact sometimes not having it comes in handy), and I barely ever get ads, no matter what browser I'm using. BUT! Whenever I post on TRF, it goes to the next page (TRF/index), and it says "done". So I click refresh and it goes to the page where your "post data" is saved and shit... but my post goes through. So every time I post I've been just going back to the TRF main page O_o So, uh, can anyone help the new kid? EDITED to say weird... it's not happening anymore.
