I have been using Fire Fox for a while and I am very happy with it. I am having one problem, some graphics such as jpg or basic html controls do not show. Has anyone else had the same problem.

In IE hold the Ctrl down and use the mouse wheel.

So am I expected to spend several hundred dollars MORE to get Adobe to work with Firefox? The reader's free. You don't use Acrobat Pro from within Firefox anyway, right?
To: markedmannerf
I always download PDF-acrobat files to the desktop. Then open them with Adobe Acrobat. Goes a lot faster because Internet Explorer doesn't try to pull it's integration crap
OR EVEN BETTER uncheck the default "display in browser" option in Acrobat preferences. Under "internet"

you are right Opera does have no security holes. theres alot of things I like about firefox though that opera doesnt have. And its definately alot more secure than IE

I guess the thing I like about Foxit reader is.
1. Theres no installing all it is is a simple .exe file
2.It doesnt integrate into IE or firefox.
2. Its basic and simple.

I havent used acrobat in forever. But I guess with the speedup tweak it would be better. But foxit is good enough for me.

Adobe's never gotten that right, either. If you browse in full screen mode, like I do Acrobat usually screws up the browser session to the point of having to close the browser.

Thanks OpenOffice.org - their office suite is excellent, the Writer program is almost perfectly compatible with Word (and far more stable for large documents), and Writer can do the conversion to a .pdf format.

Maybe this will give you a better idea of what a security hole is http://www.computerterrorism.com/research/ie/poc.htm
This only works with IE it shows how IE can be used to execute another program on your computer from any website. the example above will execute calculator when you click on the link. Do you see where this could be a problem? This is a huge problem!

Right on. That is the only thing I dislike about Firefox - PDF files. It drives me batty. In fact, it just happened again yesterday to me.... I've been waiting on a fix, but I haven't found one.
I guess I'll have to go another route...
