    Ditto.

    apart from the occasional bugs, it's top notch.

    Was using Firefox but since it doesn't allow an easy way to cut and paste within WYSIWYG editors, it isn't very useful for me.

    FF.

    Version 1.0 PR seems much more stable. It no longer bogs after being open for a long time. But I hate the new Ctrl F find feature. It doesn't search in frames or textareas. The old find feature did both of those things.

    perhaps it is a bug that it can't search in frames.

    I use both Firefox and IE... IE more often, mainly because it's so integrated into Windows that it's a bit faster than FF, and speed is a very important factor for everything I use

    When in Firefox, type "about:config" in the address box. Enter turbo in the filter box, and set browser.turbo.enabled to true.

    I've found that it makes a great improvement. FF and IE now take about the same amount of time to load, 2-3 seconds, though I do use it almost all day long everyday. Except when FF crashes(which unfortunealty seems to happen more in 1.0PR than in previous versions) then it takes about 10s, and it takes it's cache with it. Very annoying. Though, I guess at least it doesn't take my taskbar and desktop with it like IE

    Overall, I use Firefox exclusively. But 1.0PR has been a supreme disappointment, it is much less stable than 0.9+, and has more annoying crap.(like the find toolbar mentioned earlier)

    Thanks for the tips... my homepage is already set to about:blank, but I'll put the others into effect and try it out for a few days and see if there is any difference in speed

    Both IE & FireFox.

    It would be nice if they fixed up the issues that FireFox has with XML though. Or did they already do that? Maybe I should ugprade my version and check.
