I use opera on this computer, so I haven't tried it out yet, but I will soon.

Works fine for me. It's a speedy little thing. For some reason Internet Explorer 7 takes about 100 times longer to load than Firefox (sadly, that's NOT an exaggeration. It's really quite sad. FF loads google almost instantly even when I clear it's cache. IE7 spends 10 seconds doing nothing before it appears. IE6 never did that... I blame Vista, since it's been the source of all my other problems. =D EDIT: It only appears to do it on my 2 computers with Vista. I KNEW IT!
ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related
Comic Activity-O-Meter: (how often I'm updating my comic)
(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)

There's not too much of a difference for me right now, as Firefox is already pretty fast.
But I'll wait it out, see if there are any drastic improvements.

Different computers for different people. Different programs for different people. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Please, please can we be satisfied with our configurations?

FF3 is a bit slow, but I didn't understand Steps 2-x of that, so I'll just go with my new user configuration!

Yeah. Firefox 3 is really slow for me and its giving me problems. I cannot download or update any addons that I was fine with in Firefox 2 (no problems with compatability), if I tell it to do an update, it will go into indefinite waiting which uses up 100% of my CPU from doing absolutely nothing. The Mozilla website tells me to disable my firewall and such to see what happens. . .
I have typed in the about:config thing to change the settings manually because I couldn't find anything in the Options, set all updating and downloading things to 'true' and it still does nothing.
Maybe there's a 'stop all updates' box. . .
I've also had problems with it (for no apparent reason) using 100% CPU and crashing itself, when it normally uses around 10%.
Firefox 3 also made NUMA hard to use (the map data textbox is taken up almost entirely by the scroll-bar)

Anyhow, I've switched to Chrome. Which is awesome.

If you are running 2 because of a small extension it's pointless. It is nowhere near as secure as 3 now and will not get any further updates to protect it.

Also don't stuff Firefox full of Addons, that makes it slower.

It's fine for me though.
