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.

My list of extensions I use.

Bak · Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 2:39 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

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.

I will stop using Opera when I can find a FireFox equivalent to "Fit to window width."

tabs = ownage. also you can change your buttons and the theme of your browser! also it has virus blocker stuff.

FIREFOX > IE end of discussion

Firefox seems to be better protection from spyware/adware.. It also has a se3><y download manager!!

Everyone has their own favorite browser. There is no best browser. Only the best browser for you.

Firefox and IE should marry each other.

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.

Spyed · Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 5:48 am *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Only seen someone else using it so i don't know!

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 10:35 am *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

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.
