although TBH when I went there I grabbed Firefox 0.93 as well to have alook at it too.

Guess what? I don't use Mozilla any more

There are a couple of nice addins for Firefox too (an Adblcker and the option to right click and open the page in IE if you get compatibility issues). Go "Tools/Extensions" then select "Get more extensions" from the window that appears (bottom right corner if you haven't got your glasses on)

The latest Firefox 0.9.3 is a great improvement and I now use it a default browser. The previous edition had a load of niggles (that I can't remember now

) I also use Thunderbird for it's marvelous spam destroyer.

Btw, if anyone has made the switch from using IE as your default to Firefox, then you may be plagued with a still unfixed bug in the way that Firefox registers itself as the default browser - the bug means you get a message like the below everytime you open up Firefox from a shortcut to a webpage:

"Windows cannot find 'http://forum.deadmen.co.uk.' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

In order to fix this error (Known Bug 246078) you should download and run the below registry fix. Say YES at the dialog box asking if you would like to add the information to the registry and 'voila', the problem has disappeared.

Enjoy!

download TLs reg file and double click it to install into your registry. Your PC will then be plagued with barnacles and other nasties for the next 4 millenia.
