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.

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?

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 engines". That is a really powerful feature.

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?
