Or you could right click and have it open in a new tab.

Preferences > Advanced. Un-tick the "hide the tab bar when only one website is open" that'll show your tabs all the time.

another really dumb question about FIrefox .8...I can't find the option to auto fill in the web address you are typing in so that you can just hit enter and not down and tab I thought I found it a couple of times but I can't

Can I carry over the User.js from Firebird0.7? I keep trying, and the functions does not want to work. Fox will not open a new tab for every site that I open. I think that this might need an extension. How do Import my bookmarks into Fox?

[Khayman]

Should be able to copy over the user.js, i did. Open links in a tab instead of a window needs a tab extension (tbe, or other) bookmarks are kept in the file cleverly called bookmarks.html

Anyone use Hotmail and have issues with it using FireFox? I can't select 'Block' or 'Junk Mail' for selected messages using the browser. There is no response from the buttons whatsoever, all I can do is delete.

 

[X-Istence]

Wow, even on FreeBSD there is a noticable difference. Fonts look a lot better, and its overall faster.

how do you import your IE bookmarks easily into firefox? i can't do it by hand because i have several hundred.

 

[Johnny]

Does anyone know how to keep it from redirecting to a page that says "sending link to {whatever download manager you are using}" ?? That is really annoying. as it just makes you have to eclick the back button when you start the download.

[edit]Nevermind, I went back to MyIE. This is a nice browser but it has to many things not right with it.[/edit]

They are usually imported automatically. If you open/click "Bookmarks" there should be a bookmark listed that is titled "Imported IE Favorites".

No problems here. I do see that instead of a hand, a normal text select 'arrow' shows up when hovering over those buttons. But I can click 'em

 

[Tuffgong4]

don't mean to ask this again I'm just still really confused...is there a way to set it to auto complete the web address for you. I have looked through it and tried a few things but I can't get it to work

 

[muzikool]

Yeah, I get the arrow too, but I can't do anything with the buttons. :shrug:

Thats what I meant, through the GUI.

Thanks Gonaads.

ok when I click in my email for myway.com the reply button just doesn't work! I don't understand how a normal link in a website just won't click in this program but will in IE

guys i need a little help here........i have a "little figth" with what i think is some jerk...he is telling me firefox do not render HTML correctly, he says IE is the standar browser and is the one that render the way it is.....i've been trying to tell him that he is wrong, yes there are pages that dont look ok in firefox but in most of the cases is because some programmer doesnt use the html correctly. who is right?
