firefox

I offer you proof! Man, IE really needs to break out of the Earth market...

Starting firefox with this command line will open the 2 urls in 2 tabs which is what I want. cmd.exe /c start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "www.googolplex.net|www.randi.org" This works fine if no instances of FF are already running. But if an instance of firefox is...

I read this post: and just had to check it out. On first glance, this looks really cool. So, what's the catch? I primarily use MS Office 2007, Macromedia products, Trillian, and Skype. Hypothetically, Portable Apps could replace all but Skype and Flash/Flex. (and I think Skype can be...

I have FF 2.0.0.4 running on Win98. I have Quick Time Alternative and Windows Media Player plugins installed, and they test just fine with the tests linked here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_plugins But sometimes when I have been on line for a few hours, I'll go to a page that uses one...

Occasionally for some unknown reason, Firefox will not display certain characters properly. For example, when I type the at symbol, this shows up " If I type an apostrophe mark (the one beside the enter key) I get nothing unless I type it twice, after which I get this `` Instead of a number...

Gidday all, Article from the SMH this morning: http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/firefox-claws-more-users/2007/05/02/1177788202450.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1 Interesting to see that Firefox has 25% of the Oceanic market (as such, since it's free). Whilst I like the browser, and use it in...

For some reason, Firefox has started doing a very strange thing, it only starts loading a page after 20 seconds (I have that little fastfox timer thing so I know how long). Does anyone know how to sort this? (PS I don't want to re-get IE.)

Everything else is still there, but my sub-folder of knitting bookmarks is gone from Firefox. I've lost all my bookmarks out of Firefox, but never a single folder. Short of my Macbook actually having been tampered with (since I had forgotten to lock my screensaver with my password), I can't...

I have a few hundred bookmarks. Ever since I upgraded to the last version of Firefox, that is, on the day they released it, I'm "losing" my bookmarks. They simply disappear. Then I have to look for a folder called "backupbookmarks", or sth like it, which Firefox updates daily at the Application...

I just formatted the laptop drive. (It's Spring). Reinstalling Firefox, the first 2 downloads I tried came with the Google Toolbar preinstalled. I shied away and found a version without it. I heard the GT was a security hole. Is this true /. false? I don't really object to google, but why do I...

Anyone?

I love Firefox - I've been using it for t least a couple of years. Up until about a month ago, I had no problems with it at all. Then, it started running slow, freezing, crashing - I kept getting time-out problems, pages simply not opening. I thought it was my broadband connection - tested it...

In IE, if I open a new window, it's almost an exact copy of theold one. Things like reply windows are emptied, but other than that, all the data seems to be transferred, so I can use the back and forward buttons to get to pages that I had visited in the other window. With Firefox, the new...

Here's a lovely little site that digs at Microsoft's latest browser, IE7: http://www.msfirefox.com/microsoft-firefox/index.html Enjoy!

All right, computer geniuses. There I was, mere minutes ago, in Firefox, on Google, typing into that little search box. I'm working on a writing project and I was looking for some alternate phrasing. So I type "euphemisms". But that's not what shows up in the Google box. What shows up is...

Anyone know how (or if it is even possible) to have the tab bar in FireFox 2 on the left hand side of the window?

I just downloaded FF2 for the Mac. One change is that when I start typing in a page, I get the 'Quick Find' toolbar at the bottom of the page. This is different from the 'Find' tool bar as it doesn't have any extra options, like letting me press enter to find the next bit of matching text. Is...

Using Firefox 1.5, I've come across an unusual error. On our live site, everything works fine, but when I view our development site (which is supposed to be nearly identical, I get an SQL error due to the fact that it is reading the date as dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy. Both sites work...

So this is weird. When I log into this forum, I put in my username...JLam. Fine. But the autocomplete always tries to get me to use "jlam4911", which was my username before I had it shortened. Now, I've gone into Firefox's privacy options and cleared all the form data, and it works on all...

(FFox 1.5, Mempis 3.4) When I click the middle button on my mouse on random bit of the page (mostly if I miss a link), I currently go to a google search of all the text on that page (although I think in the past I've been taken to completely unrelated places). Is this some amazing feature that...

Has anyone tried it yet? is it stable? Worth upgrading from 1.5? Cheers eta: I'm struggling to find it but i think it's called Bon Echo for some reason :confused:

I may be the last person in the world who knew about this shortcut, but I've just discovered (quite by accident) that pressing my scroll wheel on my mouse while over a hyperlink will open that link in a new tab. So now I only have one click instead of the right-clik, "open in new tab" option...

Sorry Windows/OSX folks, this one is just for Linux. The speed difference is really noticeable. Here's the info, copied from ubuntuforums.org: Here is how to install it: Go to http://www.getswiftfox.com/releases.htm and download a build of your choice (e.g. Swiftfox 1.5.0.1) Extract the...

I recently noticed that the newer versions of the JRE and java SDK weren't uninstalling the old versions. So I took it upon myself to do this by uninstalling all of it and reinstalling just the new versions. So, because of my tinkering, applets no longer run in firefox. They do run in IE. So I...

When I start a download in Firefox, it takes at least 10 seconds before the download actually begins. There is also a delay when the download ends. Does anyone else see this behavior? ~~ Paul

I've loaded Firefox 1.5.0.1, and notice on the home page, they brag that "Firefox 1.5 has an intuitive interface and blocks viruses, spyware, and popup ads." Viruses and spyware? I looked around their site, couldn't find anything about that. Anybody know something I don't?

So this morning, I decided to download updates for a couple of my Firefox extensions. Download and installed the updates - Firefox wouldn't work. Started, restarted, rebooted - nada, nix. My Firefox browser was frozen. Ok, I thought, it's reinstall time. Went to add/remove programs, selected...

New version of firefox (1.5) coming out on Tuesday. Any beta testers got a sneak preview of it? What can we expect?

I have been using Firefox since it was released and it has remained extremely stable on my Windows PC. Recently I updated it to version 1.06 at about the same time as the forum went through its upgrade. I now get regular crashes while browsing this forum, something I have never seen Firefox do...
