Hi icon_smile.gif...
I have been using it for years now and running it along side internet explorer....Firefox is faster and far more reliable in my opinion anyway....but its upto the user...most people do like it tho....thats why they have got something like 50-60% of the web using it...try it icon_smile.gif....if you don't like it blame me icon_smile.gif....there are countless add ons and skins for it as well if thats your thing....read somewhere that it is far more secure than IE as well....Its the speed I like....icon_smile.gif

Cheers Gary xxx

Fanny- I started using Firefox a couple of years ago on RPM's recommendation. When we got the PC back, I used IE for a couple of days & it drove me nuts!

Once you've tried Firefox you'll see just how UN user friendly IE actually is thumbup.gif

Wooooooooohoooooooooo!!! bounce.gif bounce.gif bounce.gif

Lots of clunking, but I've downloaded Firefox - and no more Sponsored links down the left hand side!! happy.gif

Trouble is tho........ this little box I'm typing in now is a tad wider, and now has a scroll bar at the bottom icon_confused.gif Never used to, all the typing fitted into a non scrolly narrower box dunno.gif

Thanks Gary - appreciate that kiss.gif Can give my well earned scrolly finger a well earned rest!! icon_cool.gif (providing I don't do any more posts and have to scroll this little box undecided.gif )

Whoops uhoh.gif Think I've solved it uhoh.gif

Think I got a bit slap happy with the black ink button and pressed 'Bold' for all my typing instead of just the Woohoo bit icon_confused.gif

Twerent a techy fault, just a whoopsy, no panic uhoh.gif


Me and change - we do struggle icon_confused.gif icon_confused.gif icon_confused.gif icon_lol.gif Just cos I've now got a fox on my web page instead of a blue 'e', it's like starting the internet all over again icon_rolleyes.gif

Oh and my scolly thing has gone from the bottom of the post box here as well!! bounce.gif

i dont know the technical stuff bout firefox etc but .... i find it far far better than IE
gary had told me for ages to download firefox cus i was having masive probs with IE ... it was very slow, sometimes didnt seem to work and i struggled to delete the history (very important so my kids didnt see this site lol) unless i did it one page at a time

i gave in and downloaded firefox and its brilliant, no problems at all now, its fast and its easy to delete the history icon_biggrin.gif

See garys post here regarding the reasons why

It could be either your cpu fan and heatsink clogged by dirt or at worst not working or your psu failing,

Quote:

Ok this can be caused by over heatin....which can be caused by the heatsink on the cpu bein full of dust....a screwdriver and a can of spray air are needed to cure this....always shut pc down before takin side off....switch off power at the wall but leave plugged in (helps to earth chassis)....DO not touch anything inside but carefully spray heatsink fins to clean them out....this is the easiest cause of shutdowns to cure....other reasons can be faulty memory sticks and voltage spikes from your home mains supply....fridges can cause this icon_smile.gif....Another reason for random shut downs can be a on-its-way-out power supply.....these are fitted inside the tower and can be replaced when total failure occurs for 20-30 quid icon_smile.gif....
