    IE sucks. IE has more [security] holes than swiss cheese, it doesn't follow web standards, its bloated, and it sucks all around. Firefox is far better.

    I've never seen that. You may of had tweaks to IE either you did or didn't know about.

    Get fasterfox (its a plug in google it) and choose optimize.

    Browsing with Firefox allows me to often open up 50+tabs at once, and they all load reasonably quick enough for me to go through and close the fics that haven't been updated.

    Some differences are: better security, better management of basically anything, tabbed browsing, etc.

    Ctrl + - decreases

    Ctrl + + increases font size.

    I am not *that* hopelessly inept. I mean that the 'normal' in firefox is to big and the one down is too small. they give me a headache :evil: :oops:. was wondering if there was a way to customize it?
