Ok for Michael, you visit dealmac.com and can't open with Firefox?!?! I just went them and no problem at all!!! I even copied a screenshot of it. Please refer to the pic below.
Now for those new to Firefox,.....Firefox might not be able to open some sites in the BEGINNIG due to lack of plug-ins. But there is always a prompt on top of your Firefox page that you are unable to see the site. All you have to do it to download the plug-ins. It is a straight forward procedures and just follow the instructions.
However, I myself had some problems that I could not downlaod the plug-ins straight forward. BUT......there is always an alternate option in which you can download the plug-ins MANUALLY!!! With this option, I never failed to download the necessary plug-ins and hence I can see all the sites I supposed(as I did not come across a site that my Firefox browser can see.
As for Windows Updates, one can only use IE 6 or 7! So I only use my IE7 for Windows Update purpose.
So far I find the features on Firefox that I like and IE 7 does not have:
1. For image's URL address, for e.g, if you do a right click, there is an option in Firefox that allows you to "COPY IMAGE LOCATION".
For IE 7, you have to do a right click and go to "properties" of the Image. Then it opens up another small window, you have to highlight the image's URL address from there, then click "COPY". Hence extra steps.
2. At Firefox URL box/bar at the top of the page, you DO NOT have type "http://www.timetechtalk.com" to come to 3T for e.g. All you have to do is type "timetechtalk" and it will bring you to 3T too. In other words, if you know the URL site's address is "http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com", all you need to do is just to type name in the Firefox URL box/bar. IE 7 does not have that.
3. There is a Download Manager in Firefox. If you downloaded or saved any images/software/ or anything into your PC, you do not have to go to your folder to retrieve it if you want a quick opening of the latest stuff you just downloaded. All you need to do is to go to "tools" and "Options", and then "Downlaod History" and then "View download history". IE does not have download manager.
4. Yet to find out! :P
