Dude, for any Firefox users who say "haha, now we pwn Opera", these features are all in Opera, and either on by default, by connection detection, or far more easily accessible and comprehensible in the configuration windows than these "just enter this stuff because we tell you to" tweaks.

well for starters, it kept crashing on me, it wouldnt load certain pages, pictures wouldnt display often, and it loaded stuff slow. and yes i re-dowloaded and reinstalled it, checked the settings and it still wouldnt work right.

umm IE worked fine and FF works great. a PC than can play HL2 isnt exactly crappy. more like a crappy program. or maybe its cause of Windows (crappy OS). but even if it did work right i still would use FF
