IE is VERY slow when I go on FF. Firefox.... no problems! POOF! Everything pops up. IE7....... sometimes it takes 15-20 seconds for a page to come up.
Anyone else have the same thing going?

What Brower is faster on FF?

I never use IE to log on here.
Firefox rocks.
BTW, I upgraded to IE8 to log into Yahoo mail.. shutdowns, errors at times
.. the other night my window minimized and went to the left side of my monitor!!! grrrrrrrrWhat the hey??
Yup and something else. When I open some of the threads that you start, not all of them, I get logged off on IE7. It also happens with a few others and the same with Rangerdave(?) on NTT. Firefox ... not a problem.

I'm running IE8 Beta with 80% success here.. I've never had a speed issue it is blazing fast for me. I do get logged out quite often, some nights 2-3 times... Sometimes no log outs for a week...

i tweaked my Firefox, everything loads instantly. I tried ie8 it's junk just like every version of IE. my firefox beats out opera, Firefox 3, "Chrome" <- is nothing more than IE even the logo for it is just the microsoft logo in ball form. pretty much, if you know how to tweak it, firefox is the faster browser on earth.
Chrome has nothing to do with IE. I've browsed through the source code for Chrome, you can't get that for IE. Chrome is closely related to Apple Safari, not IE.

run them through a user agent scanning software that was out before chrome, it comes up as IE lol. (wow i found this at the perfect time lol)
It would make sense that a new browser would be set to identify itself to a webserver as MSIE or Mozilla until the web catches up with the new product. This is usually a configurable variable somewhere in the browser that is typically used to tell the webserver how to, or if it even can, present content to the browser. This wasn't a big deal until MS started busting all of the standards (like Java).
I still say 'lynx' is the fastest FF browser on this planet! The 'bobcat' browser may be faster, but I haven't tried it on FF.

Lols a text only browser would be faster i suppose, but we're talking about something that isn't for the blind

Negative. What's the title of the thread?
What Brower is faster on FF?
If that happens to be a text-only browser, so be it.
Sometimes older is better.
Ham code keyers send messages way faster than cellular SMS kiddies.
When we get hit by the big EMP, '57 Chevys will rule the road.
Lynx smokes all the new-fangled browsers.
That would drive me nuts!!!
I'm having trouble getting to the browser on my Atari Lynx, can you help me out with that?
Decided to download firefox 3 on the laptop to give it a try. Been using IE since, well, forever. It works good on the desktop and rarely gives me any errors. Different story with the laptop. Many times, I've come close to throwing it across the room due to frustration. So I figured I'll give it a try to see if it improves the performance.
Update already...
WOW!!!! I'm sold! Been cursing this laptop for the past 3 yrs for it being too slow. What a difference firefox makes. I love it so far.

Take it to the next level!
Adblock Plus helps Firefox run clean and fast. It omits the dancing mortgage offers etc that delay loading the page you intend to see.
They have updates that already know which ads are obnoxious, plus you can kill anything on the page you don't want to load next time.
Highly recommended.
Example: ABP killed everything in the right column of this page (Yahoo News - Comics) between 'search' and that lower comics.com logo.

I have that loaded as well. It works good to block some images (and um banners) that will show up all the time. Makes for a faster loading page.
I'll have to play around with firefox for a bit to get everything running up to par but so far, it's a 100% imrpovement for the laptop. In the middle of installing it on the desktop right now.
