I used Mozilla for a few years but was having problems with flash player or whatever trying to play Utube video.
After many frustrating efforts to fix it I went over to the dark side & changed to Google chrome & Windows Live mail.

I tried Mozilla as well, the only real issue is that I have trouble getting my favourites column ,and also Bing , Google seems to have it all sewn up when it comes to searching for a particular subject . Chrome , well I never use it. Problem is there is only one alternative left , bugger.

Until very recently, I used Thunderbird with Firefox without a problem...until I bought a new phone.
No matter what I tried, (over a few days) my emails would not update on the phone.
In the end, I decided that instead of pulling my hair out at the sheer frustration of it all, I would ditch Firefox and change to Google Chrome.
Such a simple solution...problems all went away!!!
Cheers all.

So which one is that? Opera or Safari? Would sooner use one of those as a second or third choice rather then M$ Windoze Exploder.
I went looking for the latest list of browsers and I nor find that Chrome is now the most used browser See link. Another interesting link is this one

So what you are saying Jon is that "Thunderbird" was not go
Hope all sorted now for you.

I just re-read this post and decided that I did not explain myself clearly enough. I am still using Thunderbird as my mailer...I just changed my default search engine from Firefox to Google Chrome.
All good now.
BTW...thanks Jon for the tip in your original post.
