Mozilla Guide please

ok, now look at my screen in f11...this is not a portion of my display, tis is my entire display.

as you can see, no tool bar, no taskbar...100% content.

this can't be done with mozilla.

though maybe with pheonix..I hope so

Okay, you want full screen?
Install this extension in Phoenix: http://texturizer.net/phoenix/extensions.html#autohide

Full screen to the MAX ... you see NOTHING other than the webpage. No toolbars, no taskbar.

nr

it's not the adblocking of adshield that I'm adicted to.

it's how it shrinks the add area to 0x0

this will typically give me an inch or two of extra content on every page.

I can use this feature on the huge logos that are on most of the sites that I visit every day...this is so sweet, it's incredible.

wait, I'll be right back with a gif of tweak, without there logo...this is so nice

 

[Perris Calderon]

ok..check out all the extra content I have without the tweak logo

this is the top of their front forum page!!!


see...and every site that I visit often, I eliminate the logo,...it's one of my pleasures

btw

adshield will have a new version in a month or two, and I think it will work in mozilla

 

[Perris Calderon]

I'll pm it to you

 

[NetRyder]

Same effect in Phoenix ...
Notice the position of the vertical scrollbar in your screenshot, and then in mine. Same isn't it?

 

[Perris Calderon]

ps...ya, that pheonix tool bar is perfect...ok, see you tomorrow for real

 

[NetRyder]

Yup, pretty late here too. G'nite...

 

[Perris Calderon]

Use phoenix instead of Mozilla... load times are significantly faster than Mozilla and IE.

However, to unlock the speed loading, you gotta play around with the user prefs.js file. The tweak is in the Tips link i got at the bottom, with a few other tweaks that may float your boat. I'm pretty sure there is a Mozilla equivalant to the speed loading but I don't use Mozilla anymore so I can't tell you where to look for the tweak.

As for themes, i go to Deskmod for my themes and also mozilla's official theme site.

ie gets finished seconds faster then mozilla...seconds, even when I start mozilla second...and give it the benefit of temporary files...now this is amazing to me

Just for information, if you use different browsers they don't use a shared cache. Each one has its own. The default locations are:
Internet Explorer
C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
Mozilla
C:\Documents andSettings\{username}\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\aeshknym.slt\Cache
Opera
C:\Program Files\Opera\Cache 4

 

[Perris Calderon]

aha

thanx yoyo

I couldn't for the ;ilfe of me figure out how it would load so slowly even with some cached info.

I'm gonna try pheonix today.

mozilla by itself dohesn't cut it.

netryder...it looks like you have the same funtionality with the native add blocker as I have with adshield, so I'll work with that too.

 

[Perris Calderon]

also, I'm having trouble getting to the site netryder that you posted for that pheonix build you like...could you double check that link?

 

[Perris Calderon]

ok, this ine recognizes all my folders, cool

also, the link for "preferances, tabed browsing is not going anywhere...is that link accurate?

 

[Perris Calderon]

also, I customized the toolbar perfectly...nice

only thing left is getting that auto hide on top that you got netryder...I can't figurre that one out.

this is definately loading pages faster too...timing these on my dsl, they are very close.

pheonix is not faster then ie yet, but I haven't tinkered yet

also, n r, how do you get the tabs to auto refresh?o

I still don't see the use of these tabs over ie tabs, but if they can be adjusted to auto refresh, that'll be something usefull

I'm assuming that mozilla sticks the tabs inside it's own window rather than using the main windows taskbar? I can see that as an advantage since I'm limited to 1024x769 resolution (TFT laptop screen), and programs like Visual Studio and Dreamweaver, not to mention IM windows (AIM, MSN, ICQ etc.), can clog up my taskbar real fast...

 

[Perris Calderon]

well, if your going to try a differant browser, phoenix seems much faster then mozlilla

if you want to try tabbed browsing on ie, you can you can download "my ie", which will add these tabs, plus some opera features right on top of ie.

so far, as far as I can see, my ie is the best choice for people that like these things.

but, I am getting used to pheonix, so that seems to me to be a fine alternative

mozilla is not an alternative.

it is flawed in everything I tried, speed, convienience of use, everything

pheonix is a much better application, so if you want to experiment, don't even think about mozilla, go with pheonix
