I am bewildered by the things you say i can do with firefox lol. I have been using it since it was "fox fire". Although i have never used it to do the things you described, i am convinced it is a superior browser to explorer. The tab browsing is great, The choice of what plugins you want or don't want is just that, A REAL CHOICE. You don't get it all by default and have to rummage around to find out how to get rid of it if you don't want it. I agree that there are still some applications you can't use with it but that is changing everyday. I am convinced it will be THE BROWSER of the future. Now to go see what i can do with it i didn't know about, lol. Lee
