Don't know about travelocity, but yahoo mail works pretty well, except you can't format your emails, which IMO isn't too big a deal. Still lots of pros to a very few cons when deciding to use Firefox over IE! ^

Firefox quits on me when I "Print Selection" from AA.com and change city in Travelocity's Dream Map. So far these two pages consistently crashes Firefox. Other than that, Firefox rocks!

Any differences betwwen the versions downloaded and the version offered by Firefox?
I want to try Firefox but isn't sure if I should download it from the web? Firefox offer version (about$6). Are there any differences in the two versions? Can Firefox be run side by side with IE?
Thanks for any info.

In terms of IE6 v. Firefox, I actually have had fewer problems with Hertz.com on Firefox once I got all my security programs set to allow Hertz to cookie the cr*p out of me.

And yes there are some web pages that have minor and sometimes major issues with this new browser. But in the one year I have been using it, i have noticed a massive increase in usability.
Note that you still have to use Internet Explorer to run windows update. So you cant get rid of IE just yet

Mozilla offers the Firefox/Thunderbird set as a CD that you can buy for $6.95, and get guidebooks, other merchandise OR you can download the files. They are the same exact thing, and actually, downloading would be guaranteed to be more current than purchasing their cd. I'm not really sure what the benefit of buying the cd would be, but I guess some people do it or they wouldnt bother making them.
Or you could just use Linux and never deal with microsoft again!
