Grrr... Firefox is acting up....
Going slower than moleasses in January.

It was working fine a few days ago, now i can't even bring DU up, I have to use IE.

I thought I already took care of those fucking proxy settings.

2. I uninstalled Firefox and went back to Mozilla 1.6 a while back
.
.
.

I found, and still find Mozilla 1.6 much more user friendly and stable than either the later Mozilla or FireFox

I had 1.7 briefly, and I forget why, but I quickly uninstalled it and reinstalled 1.6 - not all the bells and whistles, but still pleased with the stability and performance of 1.6

I did the same with FireFox, in and out - I'll stick with 1.6 methinks!

5. I have Netscape 7.2
and very seldom have a problem. Netscape uses the same Kernel or core as FireFox.

6. The only time I have had problems with FireFox
was when I was applying to law schools. I had to use IE to access some of the sites. Otherwise, it is wonderful!
