Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird and other Gecko-based software discussion (Part 2)

[Xie]

Yeah from what I've read I always thought "quick launch" was discouraged really. I use Mozilla and have never used it for that purpose and mozilla is as snappy now the 1.7x version (if not more) then Firefox. 🙂

Now if only I had a way to compile my one version. 🙁

I'm going to give Firefox a go and put my Opera 7.5 off to the side. Can I copy my bookmarks from Opera into Firefox? Also SPeedY_B you crack me up. Dude a MAC! That is awesome. Hey I checked out your website 🙂 nice ! Went out last night with friends for a curry at Nishads, good curry it was too What the heck is curry ?

 

[Xie]

I believe curry is liquor 😉 Also if you can "export" your bookmarks from Opera or even find where Opera saves your bookmarks its as easy as going bookmarks -> manage bookmarks -> import and choosing the file. 🙂

Hahaha! Curry is actually a generic name for Indian food that's quite popular in the UK.
Good spicy stuff.

Curry

A heavily spiced sauce or relish made with curry powder and eaten with rice, meat, fish, or other food.

😀

Even more sad I think is whenever I hear the word curry a Wu-Tang Clan song pops in my head .. "...hot as a pot of curry..." 😛

Thanks Xie on the notification. I'm on it. Also thanks for the briefing on "curry". I like spicy so I'm going to get a recipe, go to the market and grab whatever to make some, maybe throw it in with my ramen noodles.

Tip

I use Fastnet99 a program that verifies the sites in my bookmarks.html file in FireFox. Adds the IP and domain to the hosts file located C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

So now I could get to sites faster I guess, kinda reminds me of that QOS tweak, does it work or not. I have a fast cable connection, don't really notice it. Most sites I visit, finish rendering normally under 2 secs. If my DNS server goes down I guess I should be able to visit the site without any problems.

I don't know what will happen to those that use the hosts file for blocking ad sites.

Sorry for interrupting your off topic posts. 😀

I know that some people used the sidebars that I created back in the ntfs days, I've finally got round to re-adding them to my site and spiffing them up for all to use, the site is now at http://sidebar.speedyb.co.uk/

Awwh...I miss those. Wish I could use them in Firefox.

I tried Mozilla some days ago, but I can't go back to it. I'm far too reliant on some Firefox-specific features now like the Google search bar (Ctrl+K is awesome), Tabbrowser Extensions, and the great skins available.

Announcement:
Firefox 0.9, coming soon to a computer near you.

We're targeting a 6/12 or 6/14 (earlier better) release date for 0.9. I don't see much point in holding onto this one for too long since it'll only eat into 1.0b development cycle time. It looks like EM etc mostly works.

Please grab all the recent branch builds you can and find any grandma killing bugs!

It was you who showed me the extension for FireFox that allowed sidebars 😀 .. I don't remember the name now though 😛
