IE was actually licensed from an old university project browser a long time ago called "Mosaic". So the code from IE is actually remnants from the code that these university students came up with for that browser initially.

The "Fox" in FireFox is a bit misleading, but Firefox is the actual name of this panda, also referred to as a "Red Panda". :)

Or? lol, I'm confused by your post... :confused2: Look up "FireFox Animal" or something similar to that in Google. There's many animals that look alike, but it doesn't mean that it's the one you most commonly know of. It's been said and pointed out by Mozilla themselves (the developers of the FireFox browser), that they took the name from the "FireFox", or "Red Panda". It IS, a Panda :) Here you go: Red panda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia From Mozilla directly: Mozilla Firefox - Brand Name Frequently Asked Questions What's a Firefox?

I find it to be the most stable with many tabs open (and by that, I mean it conks out at ~200 windows & 4000 tabs), whereas every other browser I have tried goes wavy long before then. Also, when I hit this limit of about 4000 tabs (which I do several times a day!), IE starts going a little bit crazy before completely conking out, which gives me time to copy URL of any current interesting pages, or any half complete posts, before they are lost. Other browsers tend just to crash. Only downside is that when it doesn't have quite so many addons as say Firefox, and when it does go haywire and starts causing screen corruption, for some reason I do not yet know, even after the process has been closed and most screen corruption has disappeared, artifacts still linger in the start menu and taskbars of explorer.exe, necessitating a restart of explorer.exe. I have a batch file specifically for the purpose of cleaning up all of this screen corruption and restarting everything which gets affected

This was just before they decided to go crazy with the versions, and which thus made my developed stuff for Firefox incompatible. It was too frustrating as my stuff was becoming incompatible after "fixes" nearly every week. So I gave up. Here was a FULL theme I created for 4.0 I believe is where I left off. Everything is modified here:

I did try it.....and then went straight back to FF. I have become so accustomed to my Firefox addons, I struggle without them. Sorry John, you're not getting me to change to IE any time soon.

The page literally loads before I take my finger off of the left-click mouse button. (& NO - I don't have a lazy, heavy, takes-5-minute-to-lift-finger, lead right finger, either! :lol: )
