When ever I open all the links (as tabs) from my bookmark folder, it doesn't override the other sites/tabs that are alreayd open anymore, HELP HOW TO FIX THIS? Thank you. FIREFOX RULES. ----------------------------------- Andy Tue Jun 15, 2004 7:24 pm ----------------------------------- why doesnt mouse gesters work?? ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Jun 15, 2004 11:38 pm ----------------------------------- Anyone know? Why on earth is Quicktime using .swf files.. -.- only with firefox...agr ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jun 15, 2004 11:53 pm ----------------------------------- eh? check quicktime filetype assosiations... preferences->file type->miscellaneous->flash ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Jun 16, 2004 12:21 am ----------------------------------- tried that no luck (opened browser closed it also :() ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jun 16, 2004 9:16 am ----------------------------------- My first guess was that you'd need to get the plugin again (since you had a new version of the browser). As for mouse gestures: (from Release Notes) Old Extensions and Themes To prevent the kind of problems we had with the 0.8 release (users were having the browser not start with "No XBL Binding for Browser" errors, and finding that their theme was broken), when you run 0.9 for the first time all of your extensions will be automatically disabled, and the theme will be reset to the default. You must then look for newer versions of your extensions that are compatible with Firefox 0.9 since the extension API has changed. After Firefox 0.9 these updates should be more seamless. ----------------------------------- templest Wed Jun 16, 2004 9:21 am ----------------------------------- wtf? when did this happen!? :shock: I spent all day yesterday working on mah physics final project (I built a solar powered toy car) 8), so I missed this bit of news, be assured I'll get it as soon as I get home! :D ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Jun 16, 2004 5:13 pm ----------------------------------- I have firefox, what are mouse gestures :eh: ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Jun 17, 2004 7:54 am ----------------------------------- :shock: Oh you poor kid. Go to the extensions page, you'll see. Trust me, you'll love 'em. ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Thu Jun 17, 2004 9:32 am ----------------------------------- Where can I get firefox for winXP? I am curious to try it out since you guys seem to like it so much. ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Jun 17, 2004 4:35 pm ----------------------------------- I just downloaded it, and it works, I have xp... ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Jun 17, 2004 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- I fixed the quicktime/flash problem. Now just the tab problem to be solved.. *sigh* ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Jun 17, 2004 4:59 pm ----------------------------------- I don't have any of those problems, just got firefox 0.9, its great, dunno what I'd do if I didn't find out there were themes to use... yay! Now is there anyway I can get compsci users' name effects to show? ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Jun 17, 2004 5:50 pm ----------------------------------- I dunno how, but there's something wrong with the javascript in mozilla if you'll go to my personal page: http://paulbian.f2g.net with IE, upon mouseover, the banner opaques and goes back to transparent if you move off of it. But with firefox, its buggy :( ----------------------------------- wtd Thu Jun 17, 2004 6:56 pm ----------------------------------- I dunno how, but there's something wrong with the javascript in mozilla if you'll go to my personal page: http://paulbian.f2g.net with IE, upon mouseover, the banner opaques and goes back to transparent if you move off of it.

GO FIREFOX!! yea ... i formated comp right before i got new firefox ... so getting everyting again was no big deal.. only thing i forgot to backup was my firefox bookmark file :( i backed up my IE tho.. :( shitty!!! lost 3 weeks of favourites... anyone here have the java PLUGIN? i know if u download the JRE runtime it comes with the plugin..,. except that pakage is 60 MB!! i have no harddrive space to waste like that...... anyone?? look into the settings of firefox.... in advanced u can turn off an option which is called ' Allow sites to install software' if u disable that.... u dont get as many of those stupid GAIN ad's etc..... althop firefox already blocked some..... but thats a new thing to this version! ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Tue Jun 22, 2004 12:07 pm ----------------------------------- i figured out those mouse gestures... awesome. However, compsci looks a little different in firefox, which bugs me. Oh well. ----------------------------------- rizzix Tue Jun 22, 2004 12:14 pm ----------------------------------- yes it does.. cuz there's some non-standard html/javascript/css coding into this site that works only on ie. hey who knows dan said he's working on v3. so lets wait and see.. these bugs could be fixed. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jun 22, 2004 12:30 pm ----------------------------------- Has anybody else had weird problems with firefox0.9 on linux? It used to be that I would middle-mouse-click on a tab to close it, but now if I do that it'll go to a different website. Also, whenever I scroll (using middle mouse again), if I press the middle mouse button to stop scrolling, it'll take me to some (seemingly) random page. Sometimes it tries to make me to "www.google.wca" (no, that's not my typo), and once or twice to some IRS page. This is on Mandrake10.0 running enlightenment (it's even worse if I try to use kde). I'll check out the firefox message boards. ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Tue Jun 22, 2004 12:32 pm ----------------------------------- firefox seems to run a lot faster than IE on my system as well. :D ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Jun 22, 2004 1:56 pm ----------------------------------- it is.. . only thing that takes longer is the initial loading time..... but after that.. pages load faster.. CTRL+ click to open in new tab ((for some noobs that may not know) yea and its MUCH safer ... pop ups usually carry the GAIN software and viruses... that JAVA thing is the only reall piss me off factor.. cuz i cant play some games... and cant use geocities pagebuilder... ok.... thats IT... im getting thsoe mouse gestures....... i feel left out and everyones been ranting about them from the very start! ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Jun 22, 2004 2:02 pm ----------------------------------- Everything works perfect for me now :D *sigh* type about:config to check out your config, and allow sutff if you wanna. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Jun 22, 2004 2:46 pm ----------------------------------- thanks amailer... thats wicked... never new so many optiolns!!! ----------------------------------- rizzix Tue Jun 22, 2004 2:52 pm ----------------------------------- yea all mozilla browsers include an about:config ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Jun 22, 2004 3:59 pm ----------------------------------- shit is their mouse gestured for win98??? i downloaded it off there except it was in .xpi
