Mozzila recently released version 2.0 of Firefox, one of the BEST open source web browsers around (IMHO anyway) ... Lots of new features, updates to a lot of the V1 features like adblock ect. Easy to install, easy to use, lots of mods and best of all, it keeps about 99.5% of the unwanted pop ups, ads and so forth away..

take the plunge and try it out, im sure others will also recommend it   http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

One good thing about Firefox is that you can add  "Live Bookmarks"  on your computer (hint, hint JREB.org NS Discussion Forum ;)  ).

Downloaded it last night and it looks good. Works with any Windows version.

You can use the live feed/live URL feature now if you have the new firefox version. Just click on "tools" then "options" then "feeds" it will let you choose what you want to use. I was playing around and have it set to send a PM via yahoo when ever there is a change to the site. Seems to work well.,.

There is a RSS feature available for this forum software, but we dont have it installed. I have to admit Im not sure what that does, but if there is enough interest into it, we may add for everyone..

There is a feature called Add-ons (i.e. themes, extensions). I uploaded an add-on theme for my new version of Firefox called Mostly Crystal, it gives your buttons a crystal look. It is version 2.0.0.3

the "old factory, dark" is pretty good. I HATE the defualt themes that come with the new version...

I uploaded the "Mostly Crystal 2.0.0.3"  theme, then a couple days later it was upgraded to version 2.0.0.4 and with the new Firefox version, there is a orange "audio" icon that is in the address window where you can subscribe to a website.
