Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

Just a quick question.

My typing and scrolling are delayed (not severely, but it's a bit of an annoyance) and it doesn't appear to be a problem with my computer because it's ONLY when I use Mozilla. Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know how I can fix it? I like Mozilla, so I'd like to keep using it, but this is a little bit irritating.

Mozilla as in Firefox? Why are you using that on a mac?
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

I'm using it because the Apple store guy said I could, it works, and because I am a creature of habit.

What's wrong with it?

Well it's just immaterial when a mac comes with the joy that is Safari re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

It looks funny. re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

If I try to switch, I'm going to have like 8 THOUSAND questions about it.

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

I tried Firefox, for a short while, because of the extensions you can download for it but I quickly went back to Safari.

Case in point: can I have multiple homepages? If I choose current when I have tabs, it only gives me one. re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

Em, if you really do enjoy firefox, maybe try Camino. That's what I use right now, and although it doesn't have the extensions that Firefox has, it's still very easy to use. I especially like the folders of bookmarks and the option to open them in tabs. I have a folder of "blogs" and it's convenient to just open them all in separate tabs at once.

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

extensions are for firefox as widgets are for mac. Kind of. Or maybe applescripts. They're just handy little things you can use. Some are just kinda of useless, but others are REALLY useful. Like Greasemonkey...but I doubt you'd...need that kind of stuff. Em, what was your screenname again?

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

That's weird, Em. I use Mozilla and I haven't had any trouble with it, except occasionally (once or twice in the three weeks that I've had it) the laptop mouse scrolling cuts out, but the scroll button on my regular mouse still works. And even that fixes itself if I close Firefox and restart it.

I PMed it to you, Aigoo. I have NO idea what you're talking about.

SS -- I had the same problem with the touchpad scrolling cutting out, and the same solution worked for me.

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

I just got my mac two days ago. I'm using Safari, but the second night already it cut out 3 times, and tonight once. I don't know if this is to be expected.

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

Em, I do not use a Mac, but I had Mozilla for a while on my laptop and it was a nightmare!!! So I am back to IE.

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

I HATE IE. Hate it. But there's no such thing as IE on Mac. I loved Mozilla on PC -- bells and whistles, but not hard to use.

Jane, what kind of Mac did you get?

Emcee, do you hate your Mac yet? re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

I personally like Safari better

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

Emcee, I got the new iMac, it's pentium (like I k now what that means), it's fast, right? It has a 20 inch screen. Although I don't understand how to work all the p rograms yet, I see it's much easier than those horrible Dells I always had.

re: Question for Mac users, re: Mozilla

One more bump. I think I might try the Apple message boards, as well. Has anyone used them?
