This morning I updated FireFox 3.5 for my browser. WOW
- It is faster
- You can download fonts
- Data is secure
- Nothing on the web, or cookies all the data can go away when you log off
- You can clear recent history from 2 hours, one day, a week whatever
- If you forget where you are you can just go back to your history
- Support for video is amazing
- Location surfing with maps
Here is the video that says it better than I can.
One thing I really like is when I want to go to another new tab, I no longer have to go to the File Menu. I just click on the + sign and a new tab opens up.(see screen shot)

Excellent ! I love Firefox, but I have to now upgrade.
Cheers Missy !

PS: what are the 5 ways to "Pimp your Realtor" ??????? .....lol !
My kids taught me about Firefox many years back and I love it. It purportedly is more secure. Certainly it caught Microsoft by surprise; the newer version of Internet Explorer incorporates ideas borrowed from Firefox. Our MLS works with it, but it the fonts are compressed a bit.
Missy, I already love my Firefox and I didn't know about the upgrade. Doing it next!
Missy...
I've been a fan of FireFox for several years now. It's so much faster than IE. One of the Big Dogs told me that IE is satan himself :)
Folks...
Just so you know FireFox is much more compatible with AR. If your AR is slow try using FireFox. Especially on those RainJackings :)
TLW...ROAR!
Missy - You beat to this blog. ha ha.. I was going to do this yesterday but had a couple of closings to get to. I love firefox and upgraded 2 days ago. It's great. Thanks for passing it onto everyone else. Cool!
I use firefox all the time and will definitely upgrade. It's not compatible with our mls but I love it for everything else. Thanks for the update!
Missy - I just downloaded firefox yesterday. They made some great improvement to the browser.
Missy - Now if we just can convince our MLS to make the switch to FireFox, it would be so much easier. That change would almost be like a world wonder :)
I like Firefox too... I use it for many things but our MLS is not compatable with it .... so impossible to make a full switch, for now. :)
Missy - Thanks for the information! I didn't know that they had released this new version. I will download it today!
I have been *hooked* on Firefox since they first came out. So stable! I love the newest version, no hiccups yet that I can see, only good stuff!
Time for another upgrade! Good info -
Hey what's the deal with the pimping your Realtor?????
Anna, that is the AgentGenius web site I had open.
My MLS doesn't work with it either, so I have to log on to IE to access the MLS then I quickly log off. But, 99.5% of my web work in on FF and Safari.
I've been using Firefox since they started, and Netscape before that. There are a few programs our industry uses that HAS to use internet exploder, and that's the only time I switch.
Way to go! I have it and love it.

Good Morning....Love to See Someone on top of Recent Updates, Thanks for Sharing the Firefox News and YouTube Video, I'll be sure to Update my firefox.
Cheers, thanks for sharing
FireFox is great and 3.5 only makes it better! Thank you for the reminder to update.
Better still my MLS will now run on FireFox. No more IE for me!
I have to check to make sure I have the newest version..thanks
HELPFULHANNAH
The best thing I like about FireFox is that I can go between my PC and Mac with the same bookmarks. Lot of plug-ins to customize!
Hi Missy. I wonder what it is incompatible with like certain MLS systems. I have heard it is better with not getting as many viruses etc. in the area of security.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm downloading it now. I just LOVE Firefox.
I love Firefox! I like the tabbed browsing, Flashkiller, and especially Adblock. I fired IE a long time ago. IE is full of security holes. Firefox is great.
Netflix's streaming movies were only accessible through IE, but recently they upgraded their system so it's compatible with Firefox. So maybe the MLS system will get more tech savvy, and upgrade their system too.
@ Sheldon: Ummm... you start out by getting her a pair of four inch heels. LOL. Where you go after that is your problem... :)
Missy: I have finally gotten used to Firefox on my MAC. Now I really like it. I will download this new 3.5 on both my Mac and PC. Thanks so much for the info, and testing it out so quickly so you could recommend it to us. Take care... have a Great Fourth !
Missy - I have tossed around the idea of downloading this on my computer at home, but never went through with it. I suppose that needs to change.
I think a lot of folks don't know that they can have multiple browsers on their computer... even open at the same time. Our MLS and a few other sites I use aren't FF compatible, but I use FF for everything else. I use IE8 for everything else (in compatibility mode, if needed)
Missy, all I can say is YIPEE!!! I'm ready for the update. Thank you!!!
I guess I have had firefox 3.5 for awhile I had all those things now. Didn't even realize, but thanks for the update!
I need to upgrade, too. Unfortunately our MLS is not up to speed with Firefox, nor are our Winforms. I have had a lot of issues with FF recently whcih I think are my computer.
Jeff
I meant to do that today but keep getting distracted. I have to run both FF and IE however, because several websites I use cannot function with FF.
Missy...
I'm holding you personally responsible for the fact that I've lost all my buttons :)
TLW...ROAR!
Ah! Ha!...
Thank you Missy. I so need my buttons :)
I'm gonna share that little tip with others.
Folks...
If you downloaded FireFox 3.5 (from an earlier version) and lost your Google buttons all you have to do is re-load your Google Toolbar.
Don't spend two hours trying to figure that one out :)
TLW...ROAR!
I love Firefox too! I wish my MLS would run on it. I always feel "safer" when I'm using Firefox for some reason.
Missy,
I've been using Firefox for about 3 years and would never, ever go back to IE!
What is it with MLS's not being able to run FF? It's a conspiracy!
How hard is it to run fire fox as your main program and still use explorer for other programs that require it ?
We'll be getting ours next time we have time to reboot and deal with it.
Roland -- I have both programs open most times and it is a pain in the you know what. But I do it because I love surfing with FF.
Hi Missy! THANK YOU! I'm off to download it right now and taking TLW's advice about my buttons!
Jason, just DO IT, you willl NEVER look back, it is so much fun and easy and fast and virus free.
TLW, :)
Sheldon, it is the agent genius post I had open.
Erica, well I don't think it is a conspiracy but it is stupid and they just don't WANT TO TAKE the time to add a little bit of code.
Roland, I use IE only for MLS.
Karen Anne, I use Safari for research on posts, but have FF so customized I love it.
FYI don't be enslaved to IE because of your MLS, like Lane said you can have a multitude of browsers on your computer.
Looks like I will have to revist using Firefox. I downloaded it but then went back to IE. Just one more thing to do on my list....Thanks...I think! LOL
I donwloaded it today.......... it ROCKS....and is MUCH fgatser than Firefox 2.3 or even 3.0.......... woohoo !!!!!
AWESOME...........
(I WAS gonna wroite a blog about it, but... you got to it first, lady....hehehehe)
=-)
Wow - thanks Missy - just checked and I need to update too. I'm off to see the new stuff!!
Thanks for the heads up on the new release of FireFox. We'll need to give it try.
Missy,
You're tempting a long time IE user...!!! Thanks, Fran
Missy - I downloaded it as soon as I read your post. I just love Firefox and use it for everything except access to my MLS. I can't believe how much easier it is to use how much more stable it is (no errors or crashes). Thanks so much for the heads up! :)
Missy - Sounds like there are some nice new features in Firefox 3.5. I prefer using Firefox but still need to use IE for the local MLS and for some other websites that don't appear properly in Firefox.
Missy - I always enjoy good "techy" tips! thanks for such a great post! Have a wonderful 4th!
Missy you've encourage me to try it again. I've had it before but I went a little crazy switching between browsers. Top Producer like one but the MLS the other.
I wonder why mine didn't automatically update. OH, well, as soon as I'm done here, I'm downloading it. There is still one feature that my other browser has that I wish Firefox had and that is "DUPLICATE" the ability to copy the current open webpage and open it again. "GREAT" for when doing stuff on the MLS and you need to see two different pages.
Thanks Missy. I didn't realize that there was an update. FireFox 3.5 is much faster on my computer than the old version of FireFox. FYI--the Chicago area MLS is optimized to run on FireFox.
Missy - Sounds like there are many happy Fire-Fox users here. With the security issues with IE it looks like time to switch.
