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/

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
