Show Pictures As They are Loading (IE Style) This is a psychological thing more than anything else. By default, Firefox uses placeholder images by leaving image locations blank or with the white box and x combo. Changing this value will result in the load as it goes approach as with IE user_pref("browser.display.show_image_placeholders", false); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 if you mean by that, that all new pages open in tabs. go to update.mozilla.org and search for an extension called single somthing or something like that. i don't remember exactly. regarding second question, go to your profile which is located at documents and settings/application data(hidden folder)/mozilla/firefox/some folder/again folder and then bunch of folders. there with use of notepad create file named user.js and put this line in there. save it, then open firefox and you will have your images loading like in ie :EDIT: direct link to this extension : http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/morei...ox&id=50&vid=53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsciiSmoke Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I didn't know Firefox had tabbed browsing I use Opera if I need a lot open at once. I prefer Firefox (feels more streamlined) I'd like it more if someone knows a way of getting it tabbing. Ascii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCX Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Press Ctrl&T and that will open a new tab up for you. -psycx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sav Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Or if you don't want to edit the file user.js type "about:config" in the address bar that will bring up all the possible configuration that you can change into FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
