Reason for question is that at work I am usin the 0.7 Firebird but with the AD blocker code added and I am usin the same browser at home on my Daughter's machine without the AD blocking code and it does streach out on the machine at home but not the one at work. Both machines have XP on them XP home at work and XP pro at home. Just a thought.

Just switched to Firebird from IE and i'm getting some pages displaying with weird formatting (click HERE for example) Any ideas why and a solution?

Yup, that's known as the "stretching problem" happens on a few sites, read a few pages back on this thread for info

I have found that the K-Meleon has the same issue when loading ntfs.org.I am using K-Meleon 0.8.0 Build 828,it seems faster than firebird(loading pages and startup).

 

[SPeedY_B]

K-Meleon uses the Gecko engine so it will render content the same as Mozilla and FireBird.

Possibly.
I've fixed it temporarily by changing my default front page theme to Orbitz, rather than Orbitz Expanded. I don't seem to have a problem with either of the non-expanded themes.
Guess I'll leave it that way till the bug is fixed.

I do beleave it DOES have to do with the "Orbitz Expanded" theme. I just did some testing with and without the AD blocking code plus with and without "expanded" or regular "Orbitz" theme and it is a definate expanded theme thing.

It seems that "Orbitz" has always been a little buggy, ever since it was put in.

I like the Ekko theme, Orbitz is too bright!

Anyone know if it's possible to have links open in a new tab as the default?

As opposed to opening in a new window...

You need TBE (TabBrowser Extension).

Hope no one has already asked his. Is there a plugin that enables mouse gestures?
