I do like firefox. It is my favourite browser. I have seen some comments about trying other browsers on the list. I already had Opera and Chrome installed so I started looking more closely at them. That is when I noticed the lack of an equivalent to FireFTP. And that is why this thread was started.On 03/08/10 11:11, Grant Sewell wrote:Does FireFTP make it easy to change the file permissions on the server?Yeah it's very easy (right click > properties or something). I haven't used Opera for years but they used to have closed sourced mentality of "addons = exploits/viruses" and "we'll do it ourselves". I'd imagine that Opera still doesn't have a real extension framework and you have to rely on their developers to add this, which I highly doubt they will. Google Chrome/Chromium is still relatively new. They've taken some big steps in regards to extension development but AFAIK it's still miles off what Firefox can offer. I think it will continue to improve so you might see a similar third party feature in the near future. If you don't like Firefox due to its speed you can always try SwiftFox which is an optimally built and compiled version of Firefox (so it will support the same addons etc). Remember that extensions and addons typically hinder performance and speed so it's a bit of a catch 22. As someone else said all FTP clients have very similar interfaces. Gibbs
