Not sure where to post this?

Got cheesed-off with IE, so someone suggested Firefox. It's great - much faster, but I do miss looking at the Exif data where it's available. Sadly, I can't get it to work in Firefox.
Anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance.

I never new IE or Firefox had this functionality. I have used both, I moved to Firefox because I got less junk web pages. I have now moved back to Netscape after a 10 year absense and much preffer it.

Does Netscape have the EXIF viewing functionality?

Another plugin that I found less buggy than the one already mentioned:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5673

Can't remember the specifics of why I chose it now, but anyway, there's another option.

Netscape? Can't help you there. Not sure why you'd like it either. Care to share why? (PM perhaps.)

nwa2, as a heads up, Netscape is now pretty much a dead browser. AOL will discontinue it on February 1, 2008. Just in case you or any others did not know.

And - just for completeness - Opera has native (built-in) Exif information functionality.

i have a fast running IE7, i got it running fast, because i deleted a few conflicting add-ons, which also was causing it to crash alot

firefox, is ok, not brilliant since most of the web seems to be coded for IE7, yup, i know what you lot are gonna say, there are sites that code for all sorts of browsers out there

I find FxIF is a lot more streamlined and lightweight than most of the ones mentioned:

Nope, not a Mac group or even a Mac user. Just saw the IE7 propaganda and had to throw in Mac users to the list of browsers that us none IE people use.

Here's hoping Microsoft falls off the face of the earth in 2008. I'll figure out what to use after it happeneds, I'm sure it wont take long.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5673This is what I use. I especially like the fact that it doesn't require opening up a new window to view ExIF data.

Seems not to show IPTC besides the EXIF?

Why not just use this add on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419) in FF?

It's literally been years since I've found a site that doesn't work in Firefox.

As a web developer myself, I can say that the vast majority of the web development community targets Firefox and other standards-compliant browsers before bemoaning the fact that they then have to "hack" their websites to look correct in IE. The more users who jump ship to Firefox, Opera, Safari etc., the better the world will be.
