Whats so great...??: Hi guys. I've been reading ZDNet for about 3 years,but this is my first post ever. I'm a researcher and the advent of Firefox was a big plus for me. I love Firefox and think it could be a viable alternative to IE, however, I've been having problems with it(Firefox). I can't keep bookmarks on Firefox because I lose them after about three weeks or so. My biggest annoyance has been with file downloads, especially pdf files. Out of 100 files I download with Firefox, only half are actually complete, though Firefox will tell me that it has completed the downloads. Now, I don't have this kind of problem with DAP on IE. So you can understand why I'm not so thrilled with Firefox. Maybe the next version will be better.; Posted by: Jaschink Posted on: 08/25/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
