Yes, Firefox will resize large images down to fit.

Well, I downloaded Firefox yesterday. It was a nice browser. Notice I said was. I couldn't keep using it because there were too many little bugs that were quite annoying. The Firefox graphic would not show up on the task button on the taskbar, with a theme the screen would start shaking if I minimized and reloaded, when downloading something and the screensaver come on it would mess up the download, the bookmark tool bar showed nothing and when I would go to click "New Folder" nothing would happen. I even redownloaded and tried a reinstall to no avail. Overrall, the whole browser was just too bland for my tastes and there weren't too many themes I liked. The options were kind of sparse, too. I noticed Netscape had a new version out (7.2) so I downloaded it today. I like it a lot. I had 7.1 before that and I like the differenences. I think I will continue to use Netscape. I hope that 7.2 doesn't have that irritating quirk that made me post the initial thread. It doesn't affect me 70% of the time, anyway. I may download Firefox again in the future if Mozilla releases a much more polished version. Thanks for all the help. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I also agree with you and GATORBOY. i use IE and never a problem.

When I first got Internet service (dialup), my ISP at that time recommended Netscape and even provided it. But after Netscape had a couple of "upgrades", it got to be too erratic and too much trouble and I changed to IE and have stayed with it.

I've never really had a problem with IE either, except once. Some of you may remember my thread from a couple months ago when I got some virus and it messed everything up. I think because of IE it was able to slip through because it was designed for it. But, before I lay the blame completely on IE I must also say that at the time I was using AVG Anti-Virus. The combo of those two, but most likely AVG, made it easy for the virus to slip through. Norton would not have let that slip through. I am now using Norton Anti-Virus 2004 and have no problems. I could go back to IE, but I have REALLY came to love the features of Netscape over IE now. Maybe if Microsoft releases a new version of IE and includes a lot of the features found in Netscape I might go back.

The only problem i have with firefox is that a lot of webpages made for ie don't look right on it. I have been using slimbrowser,Avant, and opera a lot more lately. They are all quite a bit faster than ie. Slimbrowser is a really nice browser that you don't hear much about. I have 10 browsers on my puter and have tried them all.
