I just found out that you can press alt+enter on the search to open it in a new tab.

just installed this crap. it can't read icelandic characters in bookmark names, instead it has some fuckedup characters.
i'll stay with my trusty opera 7.5 =)
it's fast. also looks better than firefox

Qute is the only one worth having, I think. Dunno what they were thinking with the new default theme.

I quite like the new default one. Seems clean and spacious to me.
I recommend everyone gets the extension that randomly changes teh name of firefox. Arsonbadger is a possibility.

Are the mail rules better now?
I stopped using Thunderbird before because I couldn't cope with the shit mail rules.
It'd have to pretty good to make me change at the moment. Outlook 2003 isn't letting me down. Seems very solid and the Junk Mail filter is working great. It catches about 90% of the spam and only once has proper mail gone in there. That was my fault too as I hadn't added my address book to the safe senders list. They've got a couple of features from Thunderbird too. Doesn't automatically download pictures into the e-mail and things like that. Great.

it was licensing issues.. i don't think qute was/is opensource, which was a problem for the mozilla team.

i posted this in another firefox thread, but in case anyone missed it, i think this is pretty fucking awesome.
the %s parameter for bookmarks allows you to pass values to any page that accepts variables in it's URL.
for instance:
set www.google.com/search?q= %s as your bookmark, and give it a keyword [gg for instance]... then, whenever you want to do a google search for porn just type gg porn and you're off!
it works for imdb, amazon, it'd even work on xltronic.

firefox is starting to piss me off.
I logged out from xltronic in firefox and now, each time I load up the login page of xltronic, firefox grinds to a halt, even sofar as to be not responding anymore. time after time after time.
I also have the feeling that at times all kinds of other programs are running slower - this has been happening since I installed firefox.
maybe I'm doing something wrong..? :(
yours sincerely,
Disappointed Firefox-user.

does it crash for you when logging in to gmail by pressing enter rather than clicking the button?
If I wasn't so lazy I could go see if this bug has been filed.

Never heard of such a thing. Try clearing your cookies, cache and history: tools, options, clear all.
How fast is your computer / how much ram? Are you saying things are slower when Firefox isn't even loaded? I'd suspect malware, not firefox.

you can also open new tabs by double clicking in the tab bar in an open area (as in, space not consumed by a tab).

It could also be that some of the Firefox cache is on an area of the hard drive that is scrambled or corrupt. Scandisk?

my antivirus did a complete systemscan just yesterday and I run adaware almost daily.
my system seems to run slower when having firefox running or just after closing firefox.
granted, I certainly do not have a lot of ram - but I never had these problems running IE, which in theory should be a more CPU-heavy program, right?

Firefox uses 26 megs of ram on my system with a few tabs open, so if you're low on ram it could make a difference. IE is always loaded whether you're using it or not so you tend not to notice a performance hit during or after an IE session.

I don't think it's a cpu usage issue - when Firefox is idle it uses effectively 0% cpu.

holy cow, i just found the best extension for firefox ever... adblock.
ok, i know it's an old extension, but i just got around to installing it and if fucking rocks! i hope nobody else mentioned it in this thread.
anyways, install it, restart firefox, then copy and paste this into a text file, and import it into adblock as a new filter...
[Adblock] /\D\d{2,3}x\d{2,3}\D/ googlesyndication us.yimg.com/a/ /\/buy_assets\// /[\W\d_](top|bottom|left|right|)?banner(s|id=|\d|_)[\W\d]/ /[\W\d](double|fast)click[\W\d]/ /[\W\d]click(stream|thrutraffic|thru|xchange)[\W\d]/ /[\W\d]value(stream|xchange|click)[\W\d]/ /[\W\d]dime(xchange|click)[\W\d]/ /[\W\d](onlineads?|ad(banner|click|-?flow|frame|ima?g(es?)? |_id|js|log|serv(er|e)?|stream|_string|s|trix|type|vertisem ents?|v|vert|xchange)?)[\W\d]/
/(hot|spy)log/ /[\W_](b(an|nr)s?|jump|redir(ect|s)?|stat)[\W_]/ /\W(cy|r)?c(ou)?nt(er|ed)?\W/ /p(artner|ing\.cgi|romotion)/ reklama /sp(onsor|ymagic)/ /top(100|cto)/
---------------- it's magical. if you run across any ads that it doesn't catch you can right-click and adblock image, or adblock iframe, and it'll take care of it from then on.
porn surfing made even better!

i'm sure there'll be other flaws. given the completely insecure nature of the internet, it'd be amazing if they were able to create a totally secure browser.
that being said, this is really a windows security flaw that mozilla just seemed to be relying on.

nah.. it's definately a dumb move by mozilla to rely on it... although, since their fix was to totally dissable it, i wonder how much they were relying on it at all... or if it was simply a lazy oversite. either way, it seems to me to be pretty lame.
