kristian · 2004-11-09, 02:47 PM

Great browser, been waiting awhile for 1.0.

Visit http://www.mozilla.org/ to download.

Yes, you can. It took me about 4 mins to download and after installation all my bookmarks are still there as well as passwords and usernames.

physio · 2004-11-09, 03:07 PM

That went well, thanks for the quick reply

Toni KatVixen · 2004-11-09, 03:26 PM

They had it were you could get it a few days ago.

The only issue so far, is if you like to use skins with out all the kitty stuff on it.....I haven't found any yet that I can use.

kristian · 2004-11-10, 07:37 AM

OK one thing is pissing me off with this. I must have a setting wrong or something. It wont allow me to open more than one browser at a time. This is a real pain in the ass for many reasons.

Anyone have a solution?

physio · 2004-11-10, 07:40 AM

looks like you are not alone there.... usually when I clicked a link on the board it opened in a new tab, now it opens up a new window every time....

I checked through the settings but I can't find anything about that....any ideas?

kristian, regarding the new browser - can't you just open a new window?

kristian · 2004-11-10, 07:50 AM

Hi physio,
I'm not sure myself. There doesn't seem to be anything to change it in the settings. The main prob I'm having now is with this online radio station I listen to (KABTalk). Every time I forget and just click normally a link, it changes the radio browser box, forcing me to go to their website and start all over again.

If I find anything I'll post here.

Finally! I've been love with Firefox since someone on this board mentioned months ago. I did have a re-occurring problem with it locking up and scanning my harddrive for 30-60 seconds at time when I'd scroll my bookmarks and some websites. Not all of the time, but several times a day. But I just found the answer on their forum yesterday. Too many fonts enabled on my system. I disabled my extra few thousand fonts in Adobe Type Manager and now it works like a dream come true. I'll have to re-enable them for graphics work, but that is better than using IE.

Firefox is also excellent at picking up minor errors in webpages. Makes you build better pages.

Cliff · 2004-11-11, 04:58 AM

if you really want a good laugh at try using opera
the new firefox is not giving me any problems at all
i dont know what settings would do that

Toni KatVixen · 2004-11-11, 12:16 PM

Did anyone find how to open tabs instead of a separate browser when clicking on a link? I've never been able to do that & it is one of the reasons why I use firefox is I love the use of tabs.

I thought it may have been an extension that you could add on, but have not been able to find it.

Corleone · 2004-11-11, 12:17 PM

using ff for a few months now. .

FF ROCKS! !

I currently have zero extensions and I have that option.
Do this:
Tools>Options>Advanced>Tabbed Browsing, then select 'a new tab in the most recent window'.

That should do you.

Toni KatVixen · 2004-11-11, 02:09 PM

Thanks

Thomas · 2004-11-17, 05:15 AM

Building new sites and preview in FF........ is there anything that doesnt work in IE?

I mean, most people is using IE (still)

kristian · 2004-11-17, 06:47 AM

What you talking about, Willis?

AcidMaX · 2004-11-17, 08:34 AM

Even changing the tabbed browsing preference in FF 1.0 it wouldnt open new links in a tab. Here is the extension that sets that up for you:

They have a message board ya know:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php?c=4

I'll hold off on updating until all the extensions work well with the new version.

BTW, in browsing the forum a bit I learned if you just put in:

about:config

...in the address bar that brings up all the settings which you can edit right there. Sweet.

Opti · 2004-11-18, 04:48 AM

If you like Firefox's Tabbed browsing.. but cant handle using it all the time due to the annoying compatibility isssues...

This has an even better tabbed browsing system imho

http://www.maxthon.com

It is built on the IE engine... so it's FAR more compatible with current website coding than Firefox ever even plans to be.
