Because I type very little and I do a lot of cut and paste. Sometimes I have to move forward a few feet to even see my keyboard, I put it on the file cabinet in front of me some times to keep the baby from tipping it on himself. I find switching between mouse and keyboard cumbersome. However if that's the case with the arrow it's OK. I'm at work now with the old version... if you try to enter a sub folder of a site you already have bookmarked do you get arrow?

What causes some of the text functions to be missing with FF?

Gotta say - I've never used IE and never will. When I started with computers, there was DARPA, ARPA, Telenet and Compuserve. When the www came into being, I started using Netscape, then, after they went to AOL, I migrated to Firefox. I have also migrated from S100 bus/CP/M systems to DOS, then forced to Win3.1, to Win98se. When I was forced to upgrade from 98, I moved to iMac and haven't looked back! Banjo Brad

Oh, when it comes to the differences between what does and doesn't show in various browsers, I think the main reason is that nobody wants to follow the w3 standards - they all want special options that force people to use their product. Kinda like mickysquish gone wild. (Sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't rant on this forum. Lied again!) Banjo Brad

Wow my story about netscape is the similar.. the minute they started putting AIM as part of their product is when I left. I have to use all browsers and I'm afraid to try a Mac. I'm sure I would like it!

If you don't like the quirkyness of Windows (and I have yet to hear that Vista is any improvement), you would appreciate the Mac - and the new Intel OS allows you to run Windows and OSX side by side - I was even able to load 98se onto my iMac before my trial of VMWare expired (I will buy and register VMWare as soon as I can scrape the $$ together).

I use Slimbrowser, IE with less of IE's faults and many extras. Never freezes on me, which makes a change.

It's certainly worth a look if you don't mind a browser based on IE. Personally I love it. Has a spell checker, controls popups the way I want it to, auto login files, different languages, all sorts of things, some of them I don't know what they do but they sound good.

Ok, so due to the ravings of you guys I decided to give Firefox a whirl. OMG! I am so in love with it - why did I stick with IE for so long? My only real issue is that I also downloaded Thunderbird (email program) and cannot seem to get it to retrieve my MSN mail... anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on getting it to work?

I might have a look at TB myself. If the spam ontrols are better than Outlook then it has to be worth a try.
