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/

    • 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!
