If you don't want to switch to Chrome/IE, then try Opera. It lacks some features, that FF has (such as Spell check) but it works far better than IE

Opera now has spellcheck, update to the latest version.

I downloaded Opera. I tried going to VGChartz.

Connection Error.

I tried going to Google.

Connection Error.

It asks me if other applications on the same connection are working. They are. I could probably fix it if I tried, but if it's going to do this before I've even started using it, I don't want to know what it'll do with some cookies and temporary files in it.

That's... odd, never had any issues, are you on some kind of weird setup? I've never had a single issue with Opera.

Does it give you any error codes or message?

Oh snap! I just updated as soon as I saw that lol. I'm still disappointed that Opera doesn't get enough popularity >_>

That is strange. I just updated and it works fine. Are you sure it's not something simple like your firewall?

Something is probably interfering with the connection to Opera. Can you try to connect to Firefox in the same way?

Haha. Least helpful error screen in the world.

I would say allow it, but Firefox is giving you issues, too. lol, not good times for Kantor.



Kantor on 09 October 2009

How very odd:

Firefox works, somewhat, with the crashes I've been describing.
Chrome and Opera give me the same error.
IE works fine (well, as fine as IE can work)

How frustrating. I'm going to relieve my frustration with excessive violence (Prototype )

If Chrome has the same issue, it's probably not an Opera thing.

Question: how are you connecting to the Internet? Google seems to return lots of things about issues with Opera and 3G connections.
