I have a question about the download time for the FoxFire browser.

I just downloaded the FoxfireSetup-0.8 program. The download took about thirty minutes (using a dial-up modem).

I remember downloading the Netscape 7.0 browser. I first had to download the setup, which took about thirty minutes. Then, I had to do another download - which took about four hours.

I ran the FoxfireSetup-0.8 program and it appeared to have installed the Foxfire browser. There was not four-hour download like I was expecting.

Can anybody tell me am I missing anything? Is there supposed to be another download where the heavy-duty version of the browser gets downloaded?

Right now the FoxFire browser is installed on my computer and seems to be working ok.

Thanks.

Firefox , not foxfire...

Firefox is a browser where all the focus is on giving an easy and correct way of surfing the net. Regular Mozilla provides a bunch of other features like email etc.

You havent missed a thing....

In my opinion, Mozilla Firefox is the best browser. By far!

Mozilla itself also has Chatzilla; mail and news; the Javascript console and the Venkman Javascript debugger; and the Composer HTML editor. Dunno what Netscape includes, but it no doubt has some proprietary AOL stuff in there as well.

FireFox doesn't, except as extensions (and mail/new is a separate program).

kristianblom, Weedpacket,

Thanks for responding to my question.

I guess I need to study over the Firefox web site a little bit more.

Thanks again for the information.

You probably could have gotten your answer if you read the FAQ, e.g.
