Beavis Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Works fine for me but i am using Vista Ultimate 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. Though last week i did re-install xp for a friend and did the IE8 update and there were no problems. Quote
MrLizard Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 im running it on xp and have found it so far to be better than 7, only issue is you have to beat some sense into it regarding the activex controls for rww/rdp, otherwise no issues here Quote

Ebized Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 Mozilla Firefox all the way! +1 Excuse the numpty question as an IT illiterate, but how is Mozilla Firefox relevant to the update I have mentioned Quote
SunGodRA Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Mozilla Firefox all the way! +1 Excuse the numpty question as an IT illiterate, but how is Mozilla Firefox relevant to the update I have mentioned The majority of people I know use Firefox instead of IE - but answering original question the latest version of IE is stable Quote
Stew Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I too am an IT numpty. Mozilla Firefox is an alternative browser so you can use it instead of IE. I find it easier to use, better layed out and quicker. You can have a look here for more info http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/up ... getfirefox Quote
ab350z Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Firefox is a rival browser to IE. I've been having silly IE issues since going to IE8, just crashes for no reason randomly so went to Firefox and so far so good. Quote
MrLizard Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I dont agree with the firefox reasons but then ive been on the wrong side of 300 users that wanted to use firefox and then looked miffed when the majority got viruses, ie on the otherhand released an update as soon as the realised there was an issue. business use i would never recommend firefox, home use you can get away with it Quote

nixy Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I tried firefox but preferred IE - but then again Change is bad! Quote
stanski Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Go for it colin - I've got both at work - when IE does'nt work I use Firefox - when that is blocked I use IE! Bleeding network security! Quote
SunGodRA Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Just to throw a spanner in the works - Chrome is a pretty cool browser as well! Saying that, the latest version of Firefox (3.5.1 - released last week) is so much better than IE - twice as fast and very secure Quote
