For some reason, Firefox is essentially thinking each link I click, is a new page. Every time I click a link, it will not allow me to hit the “back” arrow. It’s like I just opened up a window. Pissing me off. It’s only done this since I cleared all the cookies and such. Plz halp. ---

I personally hate IE. The fox has been more or less good to me. Safari isn’t too shabby either. ---

> [@JClark"](#): > > Anyone else hate every browser ever? How can I combine 4-5 features of each into one that doesnt suck ass at something? this. IE - sucks ass at security. it’s like having aids, you can get a virus breathing wrong. FF - doesn’t work with a lot of sites the way IE does. Example: router configs won’t save properly, and i can’t log in to work from home with it. Chrome: Worse than FF but mighty fast. I don’t see why someone can’t make a browser that does everything that IE does just without the AIDS. ---

did you lose the toolbar? That’s somewhat ‘common’ - granted you’ve already fixed it, but View \> Toolbars \> (check) Navigation Toolbar - would probably do it. ---

Google is only fast because it has MUCH less features. I use IE8. I never have an issue unlike some people. But, I do keep a lot of browsers installed just in case. Get used to the world where sites are not universal. ---
