Windows & Windows Vista Fixes
* Clicking links in some applications (e.g. some instant messaging programs) might not open them in Firefox, even if you have set it as your default browser. To workaround this problem, go to Start -> Default Programs -> Set default programs for this computer, expand custom, select the radio button next to the app you want to set as the system wide default app (e.g. Firefox, etc.), and apply.
* A Windows Media Player (WMP) plugin is not provided with Windows Vista. As a workaround, in order to view Windows Media content, you can follow these instructions. Note that after installing you may have to get a security update and apply it before you can see the content in the browser.
* Vista Parental Controls are not completely honored. In particular, file downloads do not honor Vista’s parental control settings. This will be addressed in an upcoming Firefox release.
* When migrating from Internet Explorer 7 to Firefox, cookies and saved form history are not imported.

“Interesting Fact: 65% of our readers use Firefox.”
It’s close to that figure on HYWD. This is not average for the entire Web (where IE still has big advantage), so I came to conclusion the HYIP community does not want to use IE. Most probably because of it’s low security
It used to be 50% on IE as well as Firefox 2 months ago. IE seem to be losing this browser war. lol
Our online connections are very slow , but Firefox is at least twice as fast as Internet Explorer. Using Firefox [upgrading regularly] for the past two years without any problem. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m updating Firefox as I am writing this.
I hope to see the number of people using browsers other then IE increase a lot more :p
