bobbyz95 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Have you tried Firefox 3 ? I'm running both IE7 and F3 - F3 is much quicker. check it out . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 yeah, I use FF (and Opera, Safari, IE, Navigator, Mozilla, all as well).. but for certain browser testing I do, as the population is split right now for users using older IE 6 and newer IE 7, I want to run them both which MS made nearly impossible. But, there are methods to make it happen... but they date back to 2006-2007 and are pretty hacked in methodology and leave certain IE 7 features stripped out.. so wondered if there was a newer method easier to deploy and keep IE 7 features in tact. as for FF 3 just released... I will wait as I need to stick with the browser used by most and, at this time, that is not FF 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a couple of bugs, so read the bug report. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...e8/default.mspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamEDGE. Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) I'm on Firefox 3.0. I hate IE, so tacky. I usually use my macbook though. I'm in love with Firefox 3.0. Edited June 18, 2008 by CreamEDGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmayeu2 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 as tittle says.. looking for best current method to run both browsers on 1 PC so I can do some browser testing... anyone doing it and have a current solution better than the klunky ones seen from 2006 and 2007? When IE 7 first came out and I had some issues with it, I was running IE 7 on my computer, and then I ran a virtual machine off of my computer to run IE6 just in case. This is technically on the same PC, but one of the IEs would be running virtually. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cen Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Here you go, I'm running IE 5.5/6/7 currently (I'm a web designer so I have to test multiple browser configs) http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
