Default OT / Firefox what a buggy mess.

thusly:


Firefox works fine for days - its that every now and then I find the
standalone pdf reader hanging when I shut down. This seems to share
code with the loadable version so it makes me wonder ... but I've only
noticed this a few times in the last year.

But maybe I'll try Foxit



Me too...that's my one and only complain with F/F.
Other than that one problem, it's smooth, fast and untra reliable.
M/S is just a user of space on my HDD...and soon to disappear.



I keep IE around because I write web based applications and need to
check them against different browsers. I'm pretty confident running it
against my own code, but I would *never* visit an unknown website with
IE with it's default security options. (or should I say non-security
options) I know what kind of malicious code I could put into a webpage
to hose an unwitting IE user's PC. Not that I would, I just know what's
possible.
