Firefox works, but Safari doesn't

I once had to switch from Safri to Firefox because I couldn't get Amazon or Foxnews on Safari; then, I had the same problem with all browsers. Finally--months later--I could get Amazon and Foxnews with all browsers. Don't ask what happened, because I don't have the slightest idea. Now, my problem is that Safari is unable to connect with many, many links, but Foxfirefox has no problem with the same websites. I'm going to have to make Firefox my default browser, even though there are some things about it that really irritate me. What could be the problem with Safari? I can understand why some websites still prefer Internet Explorer, but this is different, this is some kind of mass breakdown of Safari, at least the way I see it.

"I am quite disappointed in Safari myself. You'd think that Apple would and could come up with something that would work as good if not better than the old Internet Explorer and such. I too have upgraded systems etc as far as I can go and afford for now, since I have so many desktop publishing softwares invested to the hilt. I even am using Entourage instead of the mail program. How sad. "

You must be kidding right IE has and was always a slow turd on Macs and if you were/are a PC user it's infected with spyware. Firefox and you might and I say might have a point. Safari works fine for me and has since it came out...............

The tone of your response leaves a lot to be desired.

No one needs to be slammed here, and we don't need
the gross and inappropriate description of IE.

Well Bee you might have over 3000 posts but my registration date is far before yours. My point is simple I don't post that much but when I see a totally incorrect characterization of Internet Explorer I had to reply. Anyone and I mean anyone who has used a Mac since Safaris inception knows that it is a more stable and faster browser than Internet Explorer and as for the PC platform IE is continually infested with spyware. I don't care if you like my tone or not since the fact is that IE is a SLOW TURD! Don't shoot the messenger. I'm done on this thread.

I totally agree with your over opinion of IE.

It's the four letter word beginning with "T"
that is inexcusable here.
