firefox owns you

peep the sig.

hope you don't mind me using the image you're using too. :blush: looks better than the other one, imo. :)

edit: nevermind, finally got to the button site and saw it there, thought you made it yourself or something. :D

Consider me a n00b with Firefox ... how to install the theme

[ClintEastman]

Just downloaded & installed, it seems to be as slow as hell compared w/IE, any tweaks for this? I really want to learn to like it. But even as I type this, the cursor doesnt seem to appear in the reply box, and I'm typing blind here...

One word --- pipelining :D

[RadishTM Veteran]

Right, everything is setup for me in Firefox with the exception of Flash, do I need to edit the registry file that is for Firebird and edit it to suit Firefox?

Or is there another way?

Radish?

downloading the windows version as i type. then i'll get the linux version. anyone know if it has better support for truetype fonts in the gtk2 version. i couldnt get them to work in the 0.7 gtk2 version but i could in just the gtk version, wierd.

[cheekymonkey]

What i really need is Tabbrowser Extensions, i really can't stand firefox without it!

This should help then...

Anyone got linkage to optimized Firefox stuff yet?

MozillaZine is getting hammered into submission right now. I was able to view the Fx build page once, saw an optimized Feb 09 thread, just couldn't get into it. Believe it was by stipe :yes:

[HellBender]

sakura.ne.jp is down, mozillazine is down, scragz is down, mozilla.org is molasses-slow. Damn, the whole Mozilla world is rocked by this. I think I'll wait around for the dust to settle :)

[Spyder Veteran]

i like the new name better :)

[lardiop Veteran]

Looks like Scragz has some optimized Firefox out..

EDIT: Nope.. just unzipped it... still a FB nightly :sad:

I just ran the Flash installer, it detected FireFox and installed itself into FF's plugin directory. Took about 10 secon:). :)

[riven]

it sure is fast, and it uses the cache really well. It will load images from your cache almost imediatley if you have been to a similar page with the same image. im used to this, being an opera user, but its a lot faster in fire fox

Did you use the Installer or the Zipped build?

Radish?

[kombolcha]

eh.. it's an okay browser

i'll use it for casual browsing.. but still use avant browser for multi-tasking.. i've adjusted to avant so it works best for me..

I fixed it :woot:, the Flash Installer didn't find Firefox in the list but I just pointed to where the Firefox Plugins folder was and it works now :)

I used the installer for FireFox. Got it off of BitTorrent. If you used the zipped build of FireFox, you can still install Flash by running the Flash installer and manually pointing it to the FF plugin directory during the install.

[Spyder Veteran]

radish.. just as an fyi.. the flash installer picks up the browser if you use the non-zipped one. thats part of the reason they created a windows installer.

[hot_wired13]

sheesh. mozilla.org has been giving errors for the last 6 hours....

/me puts flashget to hammer the ftp.mozilla.org server :p

wooohoo, finally getting it!!!! ill bet there are like 2 million guys downloading it atm...

Yeah Spydie, I don't use the Installer because it tends to change the HTML file assoications/icons upon startup - which I don't want :)

Everything is running sweet in Firefox now, thanks guys :happy:

Radish?

[moloko]

I love the new icon. I can't wait to try this out with the new feature. Im looking forward to the improved bookmarks.

[SioPao]

If you don't like the installer, there is a .reg file that adds a Firebird entry so that it will show up with installers such as Flash. I have it at home, but if someone wants it can look for it on Mozilla's site.

Changed by name to be short for Firefox :p
