    why don't you use autoupdate? I configured it that way that patches are downloaded automatically but I choose when and which to install.
    Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

    I kind of hate IE and use Fx, but this is still interesting, due to the claimed standards compliance, and I'll try this.

    when i tried to do it recently, it didn't work. so maybe something is different with your computer, maybe its vista, are you running xp or vista?

    EDIT: just saw ur sig, i run vista 32, maybe its bc im running FF Beta v3.0b3

    The latest version of BloatFox 2.0.something is slow and leaky as boat made entirely out of swiss cheese. Seriously, with a lot of IE6's glaring flaws fixed, who'd bother with Mozilla?

    I think its absolutely hilarious that they make the browser standards compliant with Acid 2.0 and then Acid 3.0 gets release...so far I think the highest score on it has been around 80 something by safari. The current build of firefox only scores a 50 ( firefox beta 3 is somewhere around 70). Link here: Acid 3 Test

    If you have some semblance of a modern PC, it shouldn't be slow and bloated.

    Also, in the past 1-2 weeks past Firefox 3 Beta 3, significant strides have been made in the javascript performance which should help in things like Digg, Google Maps. In the long run, memory management has been noticably down.

    I think it's an awesome result that the current nightlies of both Webkit and Gecko are 2x / 3x faster than the current production versions. Can't wait until Firefox 3 is released to the public!

    your IE scored 100? which one are you using? my IE7 gets like 12 points - one can't even recognize the page, it's a total mess with everything overlaping.
    ff 2.x gets 50 pts, ff3beta3 59 pts.
    IE6 gets 11 pts

    Lol... here's some wisdom i just found, concerning the release of ACID3 the day after IE8 beta comes out to smack MS around the face:

    The Explorer used the Navigator to go on a Safari and find a Firefox. He became a Konqueror and came back to the Opera. And no, I'm not on ACID(3) ...

    Feel free to alter this / quote it in ur sig :P
    I used to be a schizophrenic; but we're okay now.

    Agreed, I uninstall that crap from windows every time I reinstall XP. I haven't used IE in ages. They copied FireFox tabs anyway.

    To answer his question there are still many times when Firefox will not work in certain circumstances. I use Firefox myself as my primary browser. However there are times when i have to fire up IE when a page won't display properly.
    Just use the IE tab extension. Oh yeah, thats why FireFox kicks but. Extensions and a community that actually develops its product.

    1. FireFox 2 or 3 beta/minefield leaks more than my 95 year old grandpa.
    2. I can get mouse gesture using IE7Pro on IE.
    3. Financial sites are better compliant with IE.

    Microsoft non-beta products are so buggy I'd be scared to even try a M$ beta product.

    CoolZone the thread went offtopic because everything what can be said about the app is already said... it's MS, it's IE, it's still not really standards appliant, it's a beta..

    What more do you need to know? List off sites that work with it?

    /sarcasm

    Lighten up abit, plenty off usefull posts in this thread if you ask me? And if you got a specific question, just ask it... if you want to know how it works, download it and try for yourself and then come back and join the off topic talk because you'll see everything you thought about sharing with us is already mentioned

    Why is that test so important? Isn't real life usage a better test? In real life, I see no real problem with IE or Firefox, but only Opera displays my HTML 4.01 Strict compliant page properly.

    I had to set it to emulate ie7 or some forum codes would bork up, therefore its pretty much like using ie7.
