My friend uses FireFox and he says that some websites have problems running Windows media, this still true?

it still wont render "display=inline" or "display=none" correctly...... you figure something so simple and useful they'd get it right. Oh well, IE only for me.

Thanks very much lobos!

... and baud, what are you basing that on? First off, if you are coding it exactly as you typed ("display=inline"), that would be why it isn't working (CSS doesn't use =, you should have it formatted as "display: inline;"). In addition to that, "display: inline;" works fine in FF.

Hey Stryker, I use display:=inline/none (= since i'm doing it on the fly via JS) a lot for collapsable menus. FF does something strange where the DIV collapses but the content doesnt. Its a very finicky with CSS, a lot of things dont line up right and such.

I love FF for its disable JS that does stupid things like prevent right click tho, but I only use it when I encounter such sites.

Is it just me, or does everyone else get nowhere near the amount of spyware in Firefox as they do in IE?

I dont get any spyware with IE, but that's just me .. I dont go into sites of questionable content, and if a dialog box presents itself asking whether I want to install stuff, I read the contents before clicking yes.

Does anybody else here experience memory problems when using Firefox for extended periods of time?

When I start Firefox, with a tab or two open, it uses about 59 MB of memory. After using it for a while, opening and closing many tabs, I return to the same tab or two I had open when I started Firefox - only now it uses 100+ MB!

That's typical with a high tech fast browser - Opera here usually has about 150k in use. It uses ram to do a lot of caching. It's not a problem, it's by design.
