Firefox is verrry nice, so much faster than IE. BUT, the attachments in this forum weren't displayed. In the AHG thread, Anekdoten posts several screenshots but FF doesn't show the link to these attachments. Any Ideas? I don't want to change back to IE

Use IE Tab extension for times when FF won't work -

I'm a big FF fan, but have found that the more I use Opera, the more I like it.

Does the Safari chart end prematurely because it crashed?

I started using FF for the tabbed browsing, but, it seems to have been lost. I downloaded safari by accident, and prefer it. More intuitive. Easier to find historical searches. Have yet to try Opera.

Opera also has an automatic reload feature. So if there is a thread you want to follow closely, you just dedicate a monitor to it and set the browser to let's say reload in every 30 seconds (could be as little as every 5 secs), and you get the posts in almost realtime...

You not able to see attachments? I saw them in both IE & Firefox. All okay.

I did not do any add-ons. I use IE6 & Firefox2 version. What is yours?

Yesterday I was really surprised, I can see attachments! I didn't change anything with my setups on FF and suddenly it works... anyway, it's ok now!

I'm on ff3rc so I can't use this add-on until its updated but there is one called ReloadEvery that lets you do that.
