Firefox 2.0

[Jim Fraas]

Every time I run the RTM version in RC2 I get the UAC prompt.

I never got it in any of the Betas of firefox 2.

Firefox 2.0 runs just fine on my computer. No UAC prompts here.

Personally, I don't see what the rave is about. I find IE7 to be a better
product.

I have both FF 2 and IE 7, use'm both regularly.
I don't think one is all that much better than the other.

No UAC prompts here with Firefox 2.

It is probably good to have both available as some sites refuse to load
in one browser and not the other...

I like that FF can be set to open link (new window) pages in a new tab
(by default). With IE 7, you have to force it to do that.

In IE7 I like there is always a Tab Bar, even with one page.

FF2 has that feature too and you can set it in Tools/Options/Tabs

You can easily set Firefox to always display the tab bar.

Thanks.
I missed that setting (or ignored it at the time I saw no use at the
time). *FIXED*

Strangely enough (?) I ran Spybot S&D earlier today and the only add stuff
it detected was under the 'fox.

Nothing detected under IE7 at all.

deebs,
I noticed the same thing. I think, not sure, it started when I installed FF
2.0.
I have now gone back to 1.5.0.7 and I don't get anything when I run Spybot S
& D
I have FF 2.0 on my XP drive and it behaves the same way.
I suspect it is FF 2.0

I too had the same result from S&D, but interesting enough, Ad-Aware
Personal did give me some for IE.

So I guess both are equal

If you run Crap Cleaner first, you won't get any results from either
Ad-Aware or Spybot. I don't think either IE or FF have an anti tracking
cookie function.

I am not sure about FF, but if I remembered correctly, I read something from
IE's site or its documents about IE will not anti cookies as many cookies
are for legitimate use.

Of course, each may have a different view about cookies, but then again,
that's how I remembered how IE said about it - again, if I remembered
correctly,.

You remember correctly. Both can be set to deny cookies but if you do
that, your web surfing will be limited.

Thanks for the confirmation
