Is there something particular about it that you computer types don't like, relative to this XP SP2?
Ahem, if you meant Mozilla Firefox relative to SP2, no.

Firefox is a separate project not highly dependant on the intricates of Windows. Sort of like a car steering wheel muff in relation to the car.

clarification

What I meant was, when I got sick of internet explorer - I just took advice from others and switched browsers entirely.

I was wondering if the consensus recommendation from this crowd was to stick with IE and get the latest updates - since maybe there are deeper issues with Firefox I am not aware of. I guess I was amazed that many of you went into details about fixing the problem, and none said, "download Mozilla Firefox and be done with it."

So far I have been quite happy - tabbed browsing is the shiznit.

You can go on confidently with Firefox. Security issues and problems are generally solved much faster by them than by MS, and are fewer. Firefox is also not equally integrated with Win as IE, thus narrowing down the possible sources of trouble in the coding process somewhat.

SP2 is a Windows service pack. As IE happens to be a part of it, problems pertaining to it are also addressed. Therefore SP2 should be downloaded regardless of whether or not you use IE, unless you have some specific reason not to.
It's actually quite a big patch.

In short, it says that the MS firewall is a no-go and recommend using an alternate one.

On another site, thumnail pics show up as little horizontal lines. Everybody else can see them, but I can't. I had this happen once before and I can't remember what was done to fix it.
