It works perfectly well - best browser available imho - it's
only 0.9 and not 1.0 because they want to add more features
or something.

ecnad - NEEEEERRRRRRRRRDDDDDDD!

[btw the all in one mouse gestures messed up my right click
context menu so I went back to the regular mouse gestures]

No reboot required.

You might have to reboot if you also install the Java plugin
from Sun, which I recommend. (you'll also want Flash of
course but that doesn't require a reboot)

Find your Firefox profile directory - that will be the one
containing the file prefs.js and bookmarks.html.

Create an empty file there called user.js

Put these lines in it:

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequ ests", 100);

user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);


...then restart Firefox and be astounded at the speed of
page loading. I'm annoyed that this isn't enabled by
default.

up till now. I'm not blown away by Firefox.

there is one thing that I find really annoying - I like to
view xltronic in a smaller type, but each time I close
firefox and connect to xlt again, it has reset to the
standard lettersize. :(

I've been using Firefox for a couple months now. I love the
tabbed browsing. I used to open tons of IE windows and this
just makes it so much easier. And it doesn't crash as often
either.

I think I was phoenixdog last night.

The only thing about firefox that really bugged me is that
there was no way to just import the IE favourites stored in
the Links folder (the ones that end up in your toolbar in
IE).

I'd hoped that with the new version this would be dealt with
but instead, after having overwritten ver 0.8, all of the
favs I manually created are all gone. Now I have to recreate
them all! Isn't there some way to easily import the favs in
my Links folder?

hmm
i installed 0.9, now i can't get firefox starting at all ( i
even re-installed it)
it worked at start, then it just didn't. i'm on win xp and
can't troubleshoot with it.

i hate windows so much :((( why does it keep on doing stuff
behind my back

They imported for me just fine in 0.8. In the bookmarks drop
down menus there was a part called "Imported IE Bookmarks"
or favs or something. It's not there in 0.9 so:

1) It's an option I turned on.
2) An extension I installed.
3) They removed that feature.

TuneMX: Everything stayed fine for me. I just installed
straight over the top...

Yeah....0.8 imported IE favs, but for some reason the Links
folder wasn't included there...and now it's completely
turned off. Not quite an improvement.

Seems a strange thing to remove. Maybe Microsoft told them
they couldn't do that as it infringed on their copyright to
the IE Favourites. I wouldn't be surprised.

On the right up corner click on the down arrow, then on "Add

Found it already! It seems that I cannot use IE's Favs
format. So I had to export them to a single HTML file first
and them import them back in firefox.

Well the default thingie is that you can enter a phrase and
it is searching for it on Google. You can even see the
google icon. If you change the select button to another
search engine (imagine how many of them is existing) you can
search anything. I have been set up numerous of them being a
geek :) php.net/manual, perldoc, CPAN, wikipedia,
everything2.com, imdb.com, ebay, all of them is just one
click. Exciting, huh?
