Sorry your browser is not supported!

Which would be find if I hadn't been using Windows XP Professional for the past 2years.

I've never actually had any major problems with Windows ME, always found it far more stable than Windows 98.. which is why I moved directly from Windows 95c to Millennium.

I tried XP when it first came out (because I needed an NT system to run maya), only to have it crash almost everytime I booted up. So I threw XP Home in the bin and went back to Millennium Edition with 2000 Dual-Boot.

I only tried XP again after some newer software was begining to require it to run correctly.

Windows ME has memory leaks, and refuses to let go of memory until it expires.. but this was corrected (eventually). Still I know about the issues ME has with certain software, and I'm not on about it's operation under that OS.



Close the browser, look in your Task Manager. FireFox is designed around Mozilla, which is DESIGNED to be memory resident for quicker loading and unloading after a first inital lengthy load. Are you telling me that FireFox isn't doing what it's design to do on your system?



Run the software genius. All it does is deny access and deny the 'unused' functionality which takes up the majority of space. It doesn't get rid of IExplorer.exe, which is only a few KB anyways and you wouldn't notice if it was there or not.

In-fact on Standard Installation, Explorer takes up around 3MB of HDD Space.



I don't care if it renders correctly, and the complaint isn't towards FireFox. It's towards the forum, sorry but it's like a company putting a WIMTBP Logo on thier game, then it runs better on the ATI Radeon. Either you design it for the hardware/software your backing or stop backing it.



For a number of users including myself, they would appear as a garbled mess until changed the fonts that FireFox was using.



Neither FireFox or Explorer do as you want them to.. Period.
If you develop for one, you loose the other.

Opera and Safari however seem to display pages how you expect them to no matter what.

Hmm... I haven't ( knowingly ) changed any font settings in FF...
It's worked from day-1 for me, and, as they say, First impressions Last. My first impression was of a general cleaner render than IE did for most of the sites ( although, there's still sites that are IE only and FF can't do what IE does ... Like my old site, which I'm very ashamed to say is IE only )

Jess.

LOL, Raven, I just did what you said, closed firefox and looked in my task manager. Guess what. You're wrong.

Firefox DID NOT remain in memory. I guess mine's not doing what it's meant to do huh? Or else it's not supposed to remain in memory. Hmmmmmmm...

I don't think it has anything to do with task manager.

You don't need to either (re: the code boxes). Default FF installation will work with no changes required, providing you actually have the fonts built into Windows of course.

Cheers,

Rich

Benjamin> Eh, I was just following Ravens sage advice to look in there, so I donno.

Oops sorry, I didn't see it. I still don't think it has anything to do with it though

OH! sorry your godliness (not) (BTW IExplorer folder is 6.2mb, the exe might be just 91k but thats only a fraction of the whole thing...as someone so smart should know...oh sorry...that will be the SRD again)



aH! Raven , I am sooo dumb, so just disabling a few applications (not removing them according to you) causes 700mb to just magicaly appear on the boot drive, you are so full of it I doubt you bother to specify a specific orifice when talking.

now you claim to be using (or have used) software you just said you have no need to use, software you implied was used by "Firefox Whores", software that doesn`t even exist according to you, so I must be a liar attempting to waste peoples time and money, whilst you have endlessly presented the forum with all those incredible games, applications, programming languages, games consoles and utilities that you keep claiming to have written, released and manufactured over the years, and I constantly mislead people.....er?...or is it the other way around??

you realy annoy me, you are the only person I have ever had to deal with on or off the net who totaly gets on my nerves, just how you can spare so much effort to be persistently wrong amazes me, not totaly wrong, thats the annoying thing, you would be bearable if you where a total idiot, your just right enough to be credible, and wrong enough to mislead people and leave em wondering if they got it wrong, I have decided you MUST be a chatbot, lets sum the points up

(1) same tireless "mentality"...human would tire of the subject
(2) same partial understanding of the subject in hand....humans use larger databases
(3) same tendency to misdirect when you get cornered...humans can be convinced they are wrong
(4) same tendency to partialy parse things or parse them incorectly...humans (even "leet" addicts) can parse sentences and extract the correct sense from them
(5) same tendency to organise rants around keywords you "know" about and return to endlessly...humans tend to wander off subject

yup, I can only assume you have been allowed to be on this forum so long because you are a chatbot written in DB and intended to spice the place up a bit, a real person couldn`t possibly be that dumb or fireproof, this removes the need for me to respond to your "posts", no ones gonna spend all day willingly argueing with a faulty piece of software, I have Windows for that.
