Mozilla Firefox

Anyone here use Firefox? If so, do you find that it isn't particularly good at rendering brightness in jpg images? I find that it darkens to about the equivilent of -5% in PS compared to IE.

Any thoughts anyone?

I'll just take the chance to say to every Firefox user, UPDATE. I know there are a few users here who use it. They found a couple of huge security holes a little while ago. Even though they haven't been exploited yet, they did recommend that you use IE until they brought out a new version.

I haven't tested it with IE but I do notice that all the JPEGs here look a fair bit darker than they do in PS.

Update: I just compared between IE and Firefox and there's no difference there that I can see. But definately brighter in PS.

I'm with Scurra, I haven't noticed any difference between the two either.

No difference for me. Nobody should be using IE. Firefox is far safer. Plus, tabbing is great.

I use Opera and IE. I'm the only one who uses Opera and I like the way you can open lots of windows and not take up the task bar with crap. It also says when a page you're not viewing has loaded. It's all very handy for sites like this because I pop on and open up all the threads I like the look of and I'm able to quickly view the next one when I've finished with the one I'm on (it does make sense...). I use IE for normal things and it's the default browser.

i didnt notice either. but i love foxfire in general. it's a lot faster to load it'self, and websites than IE. I LOVE foxfire!! it's amazing.

foxfire does that too ferny. i love using the tabs so the taskbar isn't filled with windows. it;s good when i play on neopets too.. lol

Just D/L Netscape 8 and i'm quite impressed. You can open up pages in tabs, just like Firefox or Foxfire as some call it. Seems pretty quick and looks the business.
