    I use Firefox as my default browser almost exclusively and use the "Launch" extension to use IE if absolutely needed on an improperly designed website that uses crap like Active-X controls.

    I'm not sure about your question regarding the warning Squid.

    I could care less if my browser is adhering to standards if it totally screws up a page that IE handles flawlessly. This is the real world, not a lab. I gain no comfort from my standards adherance while looking at this:





    Here's the warning you get when you go from a secure page to
    an unsecure one. You should be able to turn the nagging off.



    It's getting closer. I hope they keep working on it.

    Thunderbird, on the other hand, is already pretty terrific.

    Contact ESPN and tell them to hire someoen who knows what they are doing. I contacted our vendor for online banking and bitched about their managment console not working properly in Firefox. The next version released workes perfectly in it.

    I'll try and test going from secure to non-secure to see if I get that message or not. If I do.. I'm so use to just hitting OK that I don't recall it.

    I haven't tried Thunderbird yet.. only due to converting my massive database from Outlook - Palm Desktop, etc and testing.

    The RSS functionality (Live links) in Firefox is a pretty major accomplishment. Thunderbird has it as well.
