i was looking at firefox and i liked it.
i was thinking about switching over from IE to firefox.
the problems are all the popups im getting with firefix and the bad downloads.
if i try to download something and the internet goes out for like 5 min, the download will say it completed but i didnt even get the whole file.
Full Version: firefox popups and bad downloads
About the download thing, I don't know, because my Internet is never down.
But it has pause/resume functionality for downloads, so it can resume on files, unlike IE which must restart download the whole file.
About popups, I don't I ever got one using Firefox. Maybe you have adware or the popup functionality disabled? (Though, default it is enabled)

In Firefox.....Tools > Options > Content > Block pop-up windows.
Download two extensions..Adblock or Adblock plus, also the Filterset G updater.
By doing this you shouldn't see any pop-ups or ads of any kind.

Arovax Shield will stop them, the link to it is in my signature.
Another alternative would be to use Spywareblaster.

tracking cookies arent a virus or spyware technically.
