I don't know if you are still reading this thread, warwagon, as your last post was over a week ago, but if you are still looking for a good solution for image zooming in FF3 then you can't go wrong with Image Zoom. It's the best, most powerful extension of its type that I have found so far. It works with Firefox, Mozilla, Thunderbird, Netscape, and Flock.

It can zoom/reduce single images on a page or all images on a page.

Ok, I installed it. Where is the option to have a button for reload on each tab, or how can I set it up so I can reload a tab just by double clicking it?

Go to settings and then click on the mouse and you can make it behave any way you want to. To Reload a tab, it is normal just a double click, to reload all tabs you cvan set it so if you DC on the TB all tabs will reload. There are numerous selections.

Can anyone recommend me a good gmail swithcer? I have two accounts, but old Gmail Manager is not compatible with FF3...

Also, I had problems with crashing on some web sites, with little digging I found out that there is a problem with javascript that checkes for Silverlight installed, so the solution is disable Silverlight 1.0 plugins and install 2.0 beta and it works! :)

Tools > Tab Mix Plus Options > Mouse > Mouse Clicking > Double-click

Change the "on a tab" setting to "Reloads the tab", although on mine that was the default already.

Is there a compatibility website where I can check out what extensions are compatible with FF 3.0 RC1?

It's Fx. :D

IMNSHO it's enough to check the sandbox on addons.mozilla.org (you'll need a user account there)...

Almost every Fx2 extension has meanwhile been updated.

:)

(Alternatively, there are mostly replacements for Fx3...)

Went ahead and installed RC 1 and installed Adblock plus (thanks to Gary), while none of the other add ons I had installed worked. There is only one other one that I really want and that is a weather one.

Is there any ones people would like to specifically recommend? The old one I had got its weather from Weather.com which is my personal preference.

Forecast Fox Is Compatible. So is The Weather Bug.

Yes I saw those two when I was searching. The thing is, I just wanted personal opinions from those that use a weather extension.

I just use Intellicast as a bookmark on my BM toolbar. Those weather extensions slow down your browser. I get the same info off of the Intellicast website.

Thanks, man! That's exactly what I was looking for! What's up with these colors, though? The text on my tabs is red. Anyway to change that? Nevermind, I found it. Thanks again! Edited by mancode20

Anyway to save the currently opened tabs when I exit Firefox 3.0 RC1?

With 2.0, I shut my computer down without closing FF and then was able to reopen FF with the tabs when I restart the computer.

With 3.0 Beta 5, I had to click file, exit, then save before I shut down my computer.

Trying that same procedure in 3.0 RC1 doesn't not prompt me to save, nor does it save any of my open tabs.

When pressing the red 'X' at the top right, in the titlebar, there should be an option on the dialog box, which appears, stating "Save and Quit", as well as the "Quit" and "Cancel" buttons.

Does this not appear for you?

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off). For specifications, and license info please click the link below. Get this aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim for just $24.97 (was $50) Although priced in U.S. dollars, this deal is available for digital purchase worldwide.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
