Can someone help me with fire fox browser (Score 0)

I was just about to reformat because my explorer is screwed. I keep getting pops up like crazy, and if i open more than 4 pages at a time everything freezes and i can not do anything. sometimes i get windows virtual memory is low. When eveything freezes the only thing i can do is hit power button. I read about Fire Fox on the freeipod board and gave it a shot. I like the way you can have tabs up in your main window. That is about the only thing i found so far, and i love it. I just have 1 problem with it. when i try to open java page with it like my stock market program, it will not launch the java page. But i can open it with intrnet explorer. If i could ever get the java page from micro cap trade com to work explorer will be history and will never use that crap again..
