Well, I decided to give Firefox a try. I like how it spreads the webpage wider across the screen than IE. I also like the tabbed browsing.
A few questions: when I load a webpage that has pictures, the pictures don't take long to load, but they load one at a time, and roll across the screen when they do. That's annoying as piss. It takes forever to load graphic-intensive webpages, and seeing the images roll to the right as they load is equally as annoying. Is there a way to fix this, or make the images load faster like in IE?
Secondly, is there a way to change the favorites icons in Firefox? My IE Favorites list has every webpage designated by an icon. I like the icons a lot, and it seems that Firefox doesn't let you change it. It loads the default page icon, but IE does that too, and I usually change them.
Is there any way to make the annoying "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder" go away in the Favorites list? I hate having unnecessary clutter in my favorites list. In IE, you can make the Links folder hidden so only your favorite pages are there. You can't get rid of the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder. Is there a way to do it?
When I scroll in IE, I can use my scroll wheel and get to the bottom of TFP in about 3 scrolls. Using Firefox, it takes like TEN. Is there a way to make the scroll feature go faster, or show more page per scroll? That's REALLY annoying. I'm not sure I could get used to it. It's like using someone else's computer when they have the mouse sensitivity all the way down so it takes four mouse moves to get across the screen.
If these problems can be fixed, then I'd probably switch to Firefox in a heartbeat, mainly because the popup blocker and tabbed browsing is awesome. If the problems I've mentioned can't be solved, then I'll probably stay with IE.
