They automatically updated the Google toolbar on my machine,

I use the googlebar plugin.

No issues so far on any OS.
Are they sure about Internet Explorer? That's a Firefow site, and
they probably don't get many Explorer users.
People still use IE??

I thought that POS was dumped a few years ago.

I hate to say it about my beloved browser, but I've noticed lately
that Firefox isn't fairing so well. Myself and at least 6 other
people who use it complain of lockups, I myself have noticed bloating
and connection issues.

Because I'm on Linux, IE is not an option (and if it is, I STILL say
it's NOT an option) so I have started trying out Safari, Opera, and
Chrome. Not really feeling Chrome too much, Safar's alright, might
go with Opera

The only real problem I've noticed with Firefox is the
bookmark function has become a bit squirrelly.

Squirrel haxxx!



no pun
Every now and then when I close it, there is an error
window but the browser opens right back up without a
problem. I'm running a P4 3ghz with 1gb memory and it
runs quite fast with Win XP SP3. I haven't tried any
of the 'nix's on this system yet. I'm thinking of trying
PC-BSD again since I heard there may be a way to run
Flash with it now.
