Firefox 0.8

[russellc]

is there any way to get rid of the rectangles around the drop-down menu's in 0.8 ? :huh:

try using another theme...unless you're using the default theme, i have no idea because it works fine for me

[colordeficiency]

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.

Holy **** i've never seen a faster browser than this... :blink:

Um goodbye Internet Explorer.... :D

[GSDragoon]

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

[GSDragoon]

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

[supernova_00]

also forgot to add to my post...Go to Tools->Options->General click set Defualt Browser, close Firefox and open back up then the links you click from MSN or y! messenger or whatever should now all open in Firefox

[wicker_man]

geez, this thing is flying! :D just did a clean install and so impressed! the speed is definitely its best attribute! can't wait to see what it is with extensions (D/L now hehe)

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

[Japlabot]

Firebird/fox just keeps getting better an better :D

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

[ahfunaki]

Hmm, might as well give it a try...

[GSDragoon]

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?

[supernova_00]

can't delete posts...you know Firefox is skinable right?

take a look here http://texturizer.net/firebird/themes/ for Themes...also lots of others around the net

btw Neowin newsposters, you guys didn't add Firefox to the software news today (pretty sure everyone knows its out now but still) :D

[intoksicated]

Just wanna say thank you to the following people who answered my questions:

mAcOdIn / Danrarbc641 / supernova_00

oh ya... hehe.. forgot to mention that i'm using firefox right now as i type... SWEET!!!

[ahfunaki]

I like it actually, from the little bit I've used it so far...

If I can get all the toolbars I had for IE for this I'll prob keep it...

[supernova_00]

np...if you have any more don't hesitate to ask :)

[supernova_00]

hmm never noticed this before in phoneix or firebird is this new? (Found this on the Mozilla Extensions page)

[alfador]

That has been there in previous builds, I believe

[Japlabot]

It's been there at least since 0.7

[supernova_00]

oh ok guess i just never payed attention to the corner of the browser....so how does it work? fro CSS?

[Steven]

I'm very com1fortable with this new browser thanks everyone! :)

[supernova_00]

i think the firefox team should create a switch page and ads like mac :p

btw does Firefox have a list of reasons why Firefox is better then IE...like Mozilla had/has the 101 reasons reasons why to switch to Mozilla
