I am thinking of changing to a Firefox browser. Does anyone here go to NeoPets with a different browser than IE? How about a Firefox browser? Can you restock with them pretty well? Thanks all!

Firefox is slightly slower than IE, and it's pop-up blocker can get annoying. Use IE or Opera

Eh, I still prefer FireFox. Ever since my IE became bombarded with pop-ups(and that's with the blocker ON) and spyware, I switched to Firefox. Sure, it has its annoying little quirks every now and then but I've gotten used to it. Not as bad as IE.

Other than not loading some pages well (mostly petpages, but also the Dinner page), Firefox is fine. I prefer IE myself, but Firefox is a close second.

I'm not a big fan of IE myself. Too many security holes and bugs, even with all the new patches and updates. But I guess if you only use it for neo, it isn't that bad.

I like to use Mozilla. It's a lot safer and more reliable than IE, thats for sure...

Really, Firefox works best for me. The popup blocker is great, and it is very immune to spyware!

Once you download all the Flash/Shockwave plugins for it, Neo is completely seamless to use. And those downloads are very easy and take like 3 minutes. :P

Ive used IE, firefox and netscape and I have to say that my preferred browser is firefox. For some reason IE is incredibly slow for me and takes 3-4 minutes to load a page.

firefox is the greatest browser ever because you can make it do whatever you ever want. i've had no problems whatsoever with it and neopets.

Yeah, I find FF MUCH easier to play neopets on.... The pages load alot faster for me, I'm on dial up btw. I've used IE for neopets for 2 years until recently, I must say Firefox is a much better browser to use :) You can even block all those annoying ads, buttons and other images that're pointless (eg. shop wizard)

I switched to Firefox when the banner ads came -- it was that or drop Neo, so I've been really pleased with how well the Ad Blocker works.

I've had no problem with the Dinner pages, but have had to switch to IE to see the "comic book" plot pages. Maybe someone who's been using Firefox longer can tell me what I need to do to eliminate that last bit of reliance on IE?

I use firefox... The pages load faster, no pop-ups, tabs, and its just cleaner overall.
The only thing is, that when I want to click on a link that opens a new page (example: a flash game), i'd have to wait untill all the images on the page are fully loaded.
Although there could be a way to fix this... Which I don't know of.

I use IE, but that's only because I've been using it for 7-8 years, and I'm attached to it.

However, I use FireFox for a secondary donation account, and it seems to do the job quite well :)

i use IE but thats mainly because all my favorites are there, and its what i'm used to. plus its easy to remember how to delete cookies, but opera is my personal favorite, firefox runs extremely slowly for me, so i don't use it except for a gallery account.

i have a popup blocker already, but firefox offers that benifit, which also makes the pages on neopets run alot faster :) flash takes too long to load for me :P it looks like firefox runs differently for everyone, probably best to test it for yourself.

if you already have a popup blocker, you might also want to consider netscape or mozilla *i like netscape*, i use that alot because it has the tabbable interface and ability to bookmark a group of tabs as well :) plus it loads as fast as IE.

i've unfortunately screwed up my opera settings so it doesn't load links on neopets, which is a pain, so i need to re-install it :P but it also runs fast, has tabs, although you can't bookmark groups of tabs, and if you learn the keyboard shortcuts they are also really handy :)


If you see my sanity, get it to give me a call.

When you install Firefox, it should port over your IE favorites, autechre. If not, try reinstalling it.

I much prefer Firefox, not only for Neo but for everything. Security-wise, it's SO much better. It doesn't have those nasty active X controls that allows spyware programs to self-install without your knowlege or consent, and even if it does get hacked or hijacked (which is harder for people to do than with IE), it's not integrated into your operating system like I.E. so it's not as much of a liability.

The google toolbar and popup blocker iare also fantastic. Firefox also has tabbing, but I never use it. BTW, Firefox and Mozilla are the SAME thing.

I.E. really is a piece of garbage. People just use it because they're used to it and because for some stupid reason, people make their websites for it.
