Re: Firefox & Thunderbird

Peter,

I recently switched to Firefox based on recommendations from a coworker.  I 
really like it a lot and have switched my children's pc to it as well.  I did 
have a few web site issues though.

1.  Microsoft windows update web pages don't like Firefox.  Wonder why? :-)
2.  The IBM publications site would crash Firefox until I updated my Java 
environment.  It was specifically listed on their site as a known issue.  Works 
fine now.
3.  One of the options from my bank web site doesn't open properly.  I think it 
may have more to do with the site than Firefox because it behaves oddly in IE 
as well.  I have to use IE when I need this functionality.

HTH,

Rick

Hi group,

I have seen a lot of mails and discussions about people switching to
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express to Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird.

Can anybody confirm that these alternatives are indeed as good (if not
better) as the M$ products, and that all settings, mails, cookies, rules
and so forth are taken over as they are now.  The built-in RSS reader
seems very interesting.

For fighting spam, I now use K9, but I noticed that Thunderbird also has
built-in spam control.  Has anybody tried this, and is willing to share
his/her experience?

If the programs prove to be as good, I'm considering switching not only my
own, but also both the kids' pc's, provided there's a version in Dutch of
course.

Thanks in advance.
