Two interesting articles, Lee, thanks for posting. I downloaded Firefox 3.0, yesterday or the day before, can't remember, but I'm already having issues with my Yahoo toolbar.

Firefox 3.0 is, well, nice-looking and it runs better, I guess. Never really had any problems with the stability. But I update for the heck of it. |

In a continuation of the discussion about Firefox, I found this useful link(and site) that elaborates on both Firefox(the browser) and Mozilla: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_firefox.asp |

Hey Lee, I couldn't access my Yahoo toolbar with the choices I normally have and did find out that there was an issue between the new Firefox and Yahoo, but it appears to be working fine, now.  Another issue I have and continue to have is with my IncrediMail program and Firefox. I can't use certain functions of IncrediMail unless I access the programs through IE. I hope this doesn't last long, as I hate switching back and forth between the two. |

After June 30, that would be today by the way, Windows XP is going to be a lot harder to find for purchase: http://tech.msn.com/microsoft/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=8354050>1=40000 |

I miss XP but after tweaking Vista some and biting the bullet on other issues...it isn't that bad...it's manageable is the best way to describe it. |

If you use Mozilla's Firefox 3 browser, as I do, you might want to take a look at this article, which touches on what is supposedly going to be a huge performance boost with the next incremental update to this browser, Firefox 3.1: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080822-firefox-to-get-massive-javascript-performance-boost.html |
