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.

I installed Caramel even for Thunderbird. Now its complete
harmony. BTW Thunderbird got a new release too.

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. :)

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).

I'm just talking about logging on to this site.

it grinds to a halt - I can't even start to login, I
can't type my name or anything.

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]

----------------
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.
