Done.

Any tips for importing the favorites list?

Will the Google toolbar work?

 

[jarhead]

It will automatically import your 'favorites' from IE, over to Firefox 'bookmarks' You can add more as you wish.

Yeah, I did discover that as I played around with it..

The flightinfo site looks a little diffferent, and the reply box is smaller.

When it imported the IE favorites list, it was a mess. Took me 10 minutes just to put everything back in order.

Any way to make the reply box larger?

Firefox

Firefox antiquates IE. It runs far faster on my Mac and on the Windows machine I tried it on than IE. A great feature of Firefox is you can customize it to zap popups. It is free. Get it now.

Has anybody had any problems using it with XP? I'm not too savy with computers but I'm working on it. If I put in on and don't like it, how hard is it to switch back?

Got it now.

"Increase text size" in the "view" menu made the site look normal, but the reply box is still smaller than it is in IE, as if I'm typing in a newspaper column!!!

Falcondriver,

You can keep both IE and firefox......it isn't an either/or proposition

Thanks

Still haven't figured out what's up with the reply box

 

[jarhead]

I go over to 'Word', write my text there, (and also get the spell check on it as well), and then I copy my text, and paste my reply into the flightinfo box

I have done that myself, but I am trying to figure out what has to be reset to make the reply page look normal.

I'm playing with a new piece of software here. Play along!!!

I have just the opposite situation. The reply box on flightinfo is twice the size on Firefox as it is on IE, Kind of wierd.

I'll bet Bobby will know.

I just went to 'view' in the tool bar, and pressed the Control - key. My large size reply box got smaller with each click. Why don't you try control + key. Maybe it will get larger for you.

I tried it, and it seems to be slower with pictures. I.e. airliners.net.

Maybe I'll end up smiling like that guy in the Enzite commercial...

Perhaps that's just the number of hits on the site this time of day? I have found the speed to be no different on either browser.
