if you want new and clean looks try Google Chrome.. once you get playing around with it you wont even look at another browser |

Firefox works well; but I dislike the fighting with other browsers for dominance; I like Chrome better. It is faster and more "intuitive" with less IT comprehension required. At least give it a look see before you commit... and maybe the kicker would be to download both and try them equally for 30 days. |

Well, I am fiefoxing right now, looks OK but where is my "favourites" bar ? I imported them but cannot find them?
Once I have that I may feel at home.

Uhh... There is a favorites bar? Never heard of it. Must be some Microsoft Wierdo invention. |

I don't think it is helpful to denigrate one over the other, they are a choice we have, we must ne thankful we have a choice. Bookmarks = favourites. I have imported IE favourites and found them..thanks.
One negative I have found with Firefox already, when we employ "faststone capture" one cannot capture an image or a page in firefox.
I may skedaddle over to Chrome for a lookeesee.

Thanks I'll Google for it, I wasn't allowed access from that server. Good to see it offers page grabbing, I like to get a copy of the auctions I bid for, on SCF.

It has an online editor so you can crop and tweak before you even save it to your box. It's pretty sweet. |

Rodney, a quick and easy way to do screen captures is possible in virtually all versions of Windows using pre-installed software. Hit the PrintScreen (PrtSc) button on your keyboard and a copy of the screen will be placed on your clipboard. Then open Microsoft Paint (or any other graphics program) and click on "Paste" in the Edit menu. Presto, there's your screen capture. You can then use the graphics program's editing commands to crop your screen capture down to the desired size. Ryan |

Yes, I know that Ryan, thanks. For my auctions I demand a "scrolling" capture, windows do not offer that option.

I purchased a copy of Snagit which did just that, but a while back, the scrolling capture stopped working after one of the Firefox updates. I suppose I too should try Google Chrome and see if the scrolling capture resuscitates itself ... Ryan |
