A tab size question, since I can't use TBE anymore, how do I adjust the tab size to make them smaller?

/edit- Also, is there an extension to have drag and drop links? Just as MyIE2 does, you just drag the links or text on the page to open a new tab?

Why can't you use TBE? It can do both those things...

I don't know why they changed names, Firebird sounds better than Firefox!

How about Firewood, Firefood, Firedog, Firemouse, list goes on

:wtf:

what a ****ing ignorant noob. do some research before you go on a little rampage about something so meaningless as a name of a program. its the programs function, not the name, that makes the product.

For all teh n00bs who insist on being ignorant and refusing to do any sort of research before they run off at the mouth:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/fi...x-name-faq.html

The answer why the name was changed. To further clarify for those who can't figure out google, Mozilla is a different browser(and product) than Firefox.

Oh no was I insulted by a noob?

And I'm a noob, why?

they changed the name cause of copyright issues. and alero its called firebird not mozilla. why would they call it mozilla 2.0.? so what if we like using firefox, what do u use that makes u think ure better than us?
I know its called firebird/fox. But its going to replace Mozilla 1.x, so why avoid confusion and just call it Mozilla 2. Firefox is their next line of browsers anyways.
what do u use that makes u think ure better than us?

I use Firefox too, I just think the names dumb. I don't think I'm "better" then you.

Mozilla is one product, it's a suite of programs integrated into one monstrosity - the most populare component is a browser. Firebird is another product, it's just a browser and part of the mozilla suite. There are some browsers that are even more stripped down versions of mozilla (they don't even do FTP). The only thing they have in common is that they share the same engine.

Firebird is a stripped down browser for people who are not interested in any of the features of mozilla aside from the browser.

It's like Microsoft Office Pro vs Microsoft word.

EDITED to fix wrongness.

Yea but that's more like super long drag and drop, I just want super drag and drop right on the page (like MyIE2), not to the address bar :p

ok thanks!

more questions:

how can i enable cookies? even after i check enable cookies it still logs me off of neowin.

is there a theme that makes it look like internet explorer? i'm homesick :( lol :p

do the automatic tag things not work on neowin?

One of two ways to get it to work. One - Bookmark the site. This always works (at least for me). Or two, click tools, options, privacy, enable cookies for originating website only!

As for themes, look here http://texturizer.net/firefox/themes/

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
