Default Look Out Firefox

The new Opera web browser will have you firefox guys wondering lol. Its got tabbed browsing, for a new page hit the conveniant "new page" button (no more control T) With a USB mic installed it will read anything you highlight to you. And double clicking on a word will give you options such as search, you can pick what you want to search from such as google, ebay, and others. You can have it look the word up in a dictionary and an encyclepedia, and even translate to other languages. I was once a firefox user, but this Opera owns it completely, u firefox guys give it a try, you'll never go back. I love the wand password manager, no more saving your password onto sites and feeling unsafe, wand keep them all there. Just click on something where you need to put in your username / password, click the wand and bam.

I downloaded AOL Explorer last week and it has a lot of similar things like Firefox. Anyone can download it because I'm not on AOL anymore thanks to the things that my son did on there.

AOL is annoying and overpriced anyway. AOL for dialup is just plain pain.

hmm I thought it was better then firefox to me at least. One thing I like that firefox doesnt have, if the browser crashes, when you go to restart it you can make it restart with all the webpages open you had before it crashed, beat that firefox!

um firefox tabbing doesn't need to be from the menu or control T (although I find control T easier than a button) you just double click the tabs bar at an open spot and up comes a new tab!

I uninstalled it, but I wonder why they would put a virus in their browser.

^^^Exactly.Its also part of the browsers structure.There used to report back to opera on what youve been doing.(Did you read the user aggreement carefully?).So yea I would stay away.If your on windows be looking forward toward IE7.Now that might give firefox some competition.
