Oohhhh... that didn't occur to me. You CAN change it in a theme: Find the .jar file for your theme. Change the extension to .zip, open it. Search around, the image for the tab close button is there, somewhere. Replace it, change the extension back to .jar, and you're good to go.

Thanks! gonan try that.

Sweet, you just increased my mozilla knowledge I shall file away this tidbit.

Hope that answered his question.

edit: Guess it did. Hope you find the image you want to replace it with man.

I've never used this before. I've always used IE. I've been loving MYIE2 a lot though. I like the java options, download manager, and speed. IMO, MYIE2 is much easier to use and get through. The tabs are messy and are not grouped by site. Can only have so many tabs per window. I can't get it to open up links even though it's the default browser. It crashed the first time running it trying to sort favorites/bookmarks. This browser looks promising, but so far there are things i really don't like.

are you sure you tried Firefox? firefox is very fast compared to MYIE2 or anyone browser (btw try other sites if you was testing on neowin, neowin is slow as crap right now so that may be your problem there) and for all the tab complaints get the TBE extension from http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabex...tml.en#download

and the crashing issue i've never heard of that happening but maybe someone else can help out with that

It may have been worded wrong, but I really like it's speed.

EDIT: FireFox game me an error, this needs deleted. I'm not finding it.

what was the error it gave you?

i see you said this was first time using Firefox bu to me sounds like you have previous older build of Firebird or even Phoenix and the extensions are messing up the Firefox version

Well, I gave it a try. It's faster, but I like MYIE2 much better. If I go on a fast site, it loads up fast in IE anyways. Not going to make that big a a difference seeing that I hate it's interface.

BTW, how do I delete posts?

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
