LordHatrus Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Right.... I seem to remember (Though I admit, I'm losing brain cells, and can't remember much now... I guess these things happen when you finally get a girl :blush: ) That Mozilla had some sort of way to set it so that IF I executed the 'mozilla' app again, it would bring me to a new tab, or a new window, instead of popping up with it's annoying: USER PROFILE settings and telling me I can't use both on default. Can't .... remember.... :blush: feeling n00bish today.... Also, are there 3rd party non-propriatary drivers for Radeon cards?Because I *don't have an RPM manager* which makes it a BIT OF A CHALLENGE to install the normal ATI drivers. (I compile everything... trying to make my box a 'precompiled binary free zone' :rolleyes: ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlabot Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 it confuses me why the Profile manager coming up on a second instance is standard, I never fixed it though :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Even if there are other projects I doubt they'd be as fast as the ATI ones - even if they are pre-compiled. They kinda have the benefit of first-hand knowledge here :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2004 I know it can be done, because I turned off that annoying feature on my PC at home! And it seemed easy enough to do that I didn't note what I did to change it. :| It may be under "about:config".... I can't look around, because I am at work and forced to use these Windows PCs... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordHatrus Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 are u hocking on chinic rofl. The good old days of quinine based-products... I know it can be done, because I turned off that annoying feature on my PC at home! I did it too, except I re-did all the directory structures,recompiled everything, etc, etc. and now i can't remember what I did! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted April 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2004 It's not so simple as selecting "don't ask on startup" is it? I dunno, because I don't want to delete my config and have to figure it out over again! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
