It should if you install Java-suite and Flashplayer 7. I never have a problem except Microsuck Update site, and who wants to go there.

Firefox is what I ment , and If you have java and flashplayer installed you should see almost all sites, and the ones you dont see are the ones that most likely give you spyware ect.

Those other browsers are cool, but the non-spyware sites people write for IE don't work as well...

If you turn on automatic updates you don't have to even go to windows update.

Kinda. Firefox is a very stripped-down Mozilla core. They took all the bloated code out of Mozilla, added some nifty features and BOOM! Firefox.

Where are you finding .9 at? Mozilla's site still only shows .8
