Re: [libreoffice-users] [Bug] LibreOffice 3.4.0 - Explorer crashes

Hi :)
That is worth posting a bug-report about 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

Obviously it's better practice to minimise the number of things that 
automatically start at boot-up but users can be a bit strange sometimes and we 
should be able to cater to that.  


FireFox or almost any other web-browser tends to be much more robust, safer and 
faster.  I've not tried IE9 yet, nor FF4 so things might have radically 
changed.  Also Firefox tends to look similar across releases whereas IE keeps 
changing quite dramatically without changing it's under-laying security flaws in 
any helpful way.  So, once people have got past the initial terrors of using 
something they are unfamiliar with they are well set for the future.  The 
various 'skins'/add-ons allow people to get a UI they are more comfortable with 
anyway.

However, none of that is really the point.  LO 'should' be able to work without 
messing up IE as there are still a lot of people using it so a bug-report would 
be a big help.  


Regards from
Tom :)
