firefox

I was on the Meetup.com site, typing up a message to send to another person in the same meetup group, but everytime I hit the ' button, the ' would appear BUT ALSO, the "FIND" function popped up on the bottom of the screen! It was the wierdest thing: I'd be typing along, and then bam, the FIND...

Correct me if I am wrong, but much of the windows interface we see, including the desktop and the filemanager/explorer thing (I am talking windows XP) are based on internet explorer. Because internet explorer runs continuously to manage such things as the desktop and file viewing, it opens the...

I'm trying to get some new FF Exts. . . . So I figure I would see what everyone's #1 favorite is. Mine is hands down "Adblock." Basically this does what you would think it would do, blocks ads. And rather then have in a Blacklist/Whitelist format you chose the ads you do not wish to view...

I just made firefox my default bowser. However I now find that my quicklinks on the quicklauch won't work. So I've gone back to Internet explorer. Anyway to make these quicklinks work?

Anyone loaded this yet? Comments on use? Value? (I understand it's available for IE too).

Firefox apparently has a couple of large security holes. Users are warned to disable Java Script until they fix it. http://www.techtree.com/techtree/jsp/showstory.jsp?storyid=3682 http://www.mozilla.org/security/#Security_Alerts

Anyone know how I can ban myself from going to slashdot.org and time draining sites? Not this on obviously! (I'm using linux) Cheers.

"An E-Mail From God"

can download it from here: http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/portable_firefox/ The idea is that you carry around all your favourites etc. on your USB memory stick I find it very useful going to and from college, where they don't have firefox.

Looking for some help here. I've been using Firefox for a couple months now with no troubles, but this morning I finally decided to click that inisistent red button in the upper right of the screen and upgrade to 1.0. Now when I open the browser it comes up as a blank page rather than my...

I use both (and no other browsers), and I believe one is so much better than the other. Who'd you vote for?

Finally bit the bullet and installed the browser. Must say, it's very nice. Easily imported all my IE bookmarks (and alphabetized them), incorporates the Google search on the front page, and has a huge variety of plug-ins and such. The "tabbed browsing" for my various bookmarks is handy, and...

Has anyone had any luck with setting up proxies in Firefox? Specifically, I'm trying to denote an entire range of IPs to be bypassed by the proxy server. I've tried "10.*.*.*", I've tried just "10." Any other ideas? Also, is there any way to stop a bookmark from using a originating website's...

Are they the same thing? I go to the website and see that there is Firefox, of course, but also a browser named Mozilla. I have heard of Mozilla before, but are they now saying Firefox is something different? Does Mozilla=Firefox? Also, there is mention of a Mozilla Suite, which seems to...

I use Firefox as my browser. About once a week when browsing these forums Firefox will stop working with the forum. It starts loading and hangs. All the other sites I normally visit work fine. Sometimes it's resolved by closing and restarting Firefox, but not always. I'm submitting this on...

This certainly is a 'current event' given that it is being run by just about every news organisation out there (BBC, reuters, etc). Check out http://news.google.com.au/news?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&tab=nn&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=firefox&btnG=Search+News and you'll...

This post is dedicated to Firefox. I’ve been a Microsoft Internet Explorer user for years and years. The only other browser program I’ve ever used to surf the web was AOL’s fat client. Fat doesn’t really describe it though. Obese doesn’t even come close. Anyway, few would...

In answer to a question no-one has asked - yet. Since installing Firefox 0.9 I noticed an annoying problem where a dialog box - "Locate link Browser" would pop up each time I linked to a URL from an email. Here is a fix for it. Worked for me.

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Man the speed improvements are really noticable. Well to me atleast.

...really faster than any other browser? I've been testing it out and to me it seems faster, but that could be the placebo effect for all I know. Does anyone have any data to back up or refute this claim? Is this so much electronic snake-oil, or is it truly a Quicksilveresque webfront?
