Firefox 2.0 - Page 2

sallytraffic · 7th February 2008, 17:38

I am using FF 2.0.0.11 on a Mac and all is peachy.

Been using Firefox since the early days, so much nicer to use......Mozilla must be doing something right, seeing as Billy Gates has had his henchmen hijack the tab browsing function.

My essential extensions:

British English dictionary (obvious)
Google Browser Sync (syncs all bookmarks, passwords, history, visited links, everything really)
FxIF (shows EXIF info in photos with a right click on the photo)
IEtab (uses IE to render pages that require IE - all in a tab and it remembers the sites)
StumbleUpon (late night boredom)
CuteMenus Crystal SVG (funky icons to go with....)
Ifox Smooth style.

I would add to the list

AdblockPlus
All-in-One Sidebar (like Opera's sidebar)
Forecastfox (Weather forecast in your toolbar)
PDF Download (a great way of dealing with PDF links in web pages)
Download Statusbar

All viewed with the wonderful Noia2.0 Extreme skin.

Right, off to try FF3

With my PC competence, I'll wait until it gets official...

Firefox is doing well here (at Civinfo) - have a look at this quick screenshot of the "Who's online" page I took last night:

user_agent.gif

Overall, the percentage is creeping up (it was about 22% just a couple of months ago):

Thanks for the advices on extensions!

I'm impressed by the number of peeps accessing this place via PSPs and PS3s!

Hmmm - how do I run firefox on my 360?

Yep, I'll be one of the PSP users, along with Firefox at home, and IE6 at work.

Don't often post from the PSP, as it takes too long (like texting, but without predictive text)

TTDegs · 9th February 2008, 17:37

I hooked my lad's PSP up to my network last week - was quite impressed with it actually!
(once I'd worked out it needs 'b' wireless not 'g'...)

know what you mean about the typing though

robbo51 · 12th February 2008, 13:14

Just tried it.
Sorry...But I dont like it.
Ive got used to IE and Vista

rallakias · 12th February 2008, 19:26

I have the latest Windows Firefox, 2.0.0.12, never had any problems...

but where is the chatbox? I've never noticed it!

Someone told me that with IE there are more possibilities to catch a web virus than with other browsers, is that true?

StuMcBill · 13th February 2008, 16:36

I just tried Firefox 3.0b3, it seems very good, however, none of my add-ons work with it yet, so I will stick to 2.0.0.12!

HappyMan · 25th February 2008, 20:26

I have to say that I love the FF browser. it is really better than IE7 and I am glad I changed.

stan2w · 26th February 2008, 06:13

Of the two,(FF and) I prefer Safari its very quick.
It works on those Windoze machines as well!!

Safari for Windows is not the same as Safari for Mac - it's a disaster!
