Title: firefox... Post by: nick on August 31, 2004, 09:32:40 pm ...its a new browser that kicks the ass off internet explorer :)
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Title: firefox... Post by: Mage of Blackest Night on August 31, 2004, 09:41:23 pm it's not exactly new dude.
i've been using it for about 10 months now. good job switching over though. most of the people i try to convert argue that if it was so much better, it would have come with windows (*smacks forhead*). Title: firefox... Post by: nick on August 31, 2004, 09:52:42 pm haha.. iv had it for 3-4 months now.. never had a single popup!
genious. Title: firefox... Post by: Noma89 on August 31, 2004, 09:58:29 pm Same here. I've never had a problem with it at all.
Title: firefox... Post by: bEn on September 01, 2004, 12:04:44 am What I miss when using firefox are some neat features I liked using mozilla:
a button to en-/disable faster and the ability to move tabs and autoload multiple tabs on startup (like a bunch of forums I always visit). Those features where included in a extension to Mozilla - so I hope that it will be proted to firefox. BTW Thunderbird the Mozilla standalone mailprogramm really rocks especially if you tweak it with some extensions :D Title: firefox... Post by: Mage of Blackest Night on September 01, 2004, 04:18:39 am I'm pretty sure firefox does have the option to load multiple tabs at startup, but it's kind of buried.
Title: firefox... Post by: Devlyn on September 01, 2004, 08:26:01 am I somehow still like Mozilla better than Firefox :).
Title: firefox... Post by: bEn on September 01, 2004, 11:24:49 am Well the advantage of firefox is that it consumes maybe a third of ressources and if I'm programming Mozilla kills my Laptop.. :D
Loading multitabs is not reachable via the standard interface as far as I know but it should be easy to implement as an extension. Title: firefox... Post by: Ty on September 01, 2004, 11:36:03 am Another happy Firefox user here. Still use IE for certain things, but FireFox is the browser of choice. It is a bit of a hog sometimes though.
Good to see you popping in again Nick. Title: firefox... Post by: Newts on September 02, 2004, 08:07:14 pm I gave in, and installed it. I am weak :P
It's not that much different to IE, but then again I didn't really expect it to be :P Some of the ideas look good though. I shall have to try them out... Title: firefox...

I shall have to try them out... check out the plugin that lets you use mouse gentures.. you can press right mouse button and draw to control the browser.. a line left to right moves you back a page and clikcing a link and draging up opens a page in a new window... loads of cool shortcuts :) It's called 'All in One Gestures' by Marc Boullet.. get it by going 'Tools' / 'Extensions' / 'Get more extensions' :) Title: firefox... Post by: Newts on September 01, 2005, 11:45:53 pm It's been one year since Nick posted here. This is a commemoration.
NICK, COME BACK. WE NEED YOU. Title: firefox... Post by: Seanikins on September 01, 2005, 11:46:59 pm We need our Nick :(
things suck that much more without you!!! Title: firefox... Post by: Sir Phill on September 01, 2005, 11:55:49 pm Quote from: "Newts" I gave in, and installed it. I am weak :P It's not that much different to IE, but then again I didn't really expect it to be :P Some of the ideas look good though. I shall have to try them out... no pop ups, ability to block adds on sites, multiple plugins. Biggest thing however is the tabbed browsing. So much easier to use then having 198423987 IEs open. Title: firefox... Post by: Seanikins on September 02, 2005, 12:01:22 am PHIL!!!
*grabs sack and makes a dive* get back here! Title: firefox... Post by: Newts on September 02, 2005, 12:01:23 am I know this, Phill. I posted that a year ago :P I've been using FireFox since then and love it as much as I can love a browser.
Title: firefox... Post by: Seanikins on September 02, 2005, 12:41:20 am Firefox is a rather nifty browser :) ive been using it ever since nick posted this topic a year ago
