I just downloaded FireFox. I have been using IE and had no desire to change so i downloaded it just to see what was sooooo great about it. Someone give me the 'gist' of whats better and what not.

It does look like i can see MORE with FireFox, which is nice.

Ctrl + t (opens a new tab)
Ctrl + w (closes current tab / window)

in the address bar you can do quick searches like type in:
"google gay porn" and it will do a google search for gay porn
"wp apple" and it will do a wikipedia search on apple
"slang douch" and it will do an urban dictionary search on douch
"dict despot" and it will dictionary search despot

you can configure these yourself by editing bookmarks->quicksearches, I've added java search, java api search, and msdn search. You can also just link to sites using the same method. I have it setup so when I type "mgb" it comes to forums.minegoboom.com

There's also a bookmark toolbar, which you can put links in just by putting your favorites in the bookmark toolbar folder.

Get adblock too (search the trask talk forum for it). It will remove ads from websites after you set up filters (using the filters provided on the sites blocks most ads). You can then right click any ad and click "addblock image" and you'll never see it again.

Anyone know how to get FireFox to use the alt key instead of control? It's a lot easier to use keyboard shortcuts for the tabs using alt vs ctrl, I think.

There might be a problem with alt since that is the Windows menu-access key. I don't see why alt would be easier anyway, I find control easiest to find because it's the last key in the row.

It's like simple subjectivism.
Billy: "Firefox is the best browser."
Joe: "Are you serious?"
Billy: "Yes, I am serious."
Joe: "Ok, I believe that you think Firefox is the best."

When you say another browser is better, it is a report on your feelings so you're just changing the topic of discussion.

Nice to know I'm learning something in that philosophy class I'm in.

mIRC uses alt to cycle though all it's windows.

I just downloaded Firefox RC1.5 and man, it's fast. They improved the back/forward buttons and there is no noticeable delay when pressing them now and a much shorter load time as far as I can tell. Definitely a recommended download.

Postdata is how PHP functions based on user submitted data.

Here is a link that will give you a better understanding.
