is there a way to do a windows update through firefox, i get a page from MS telling me to install IE...

Only if you manually download them. No auto-updates. This is the way I do all my windows updates (this way you can pick 'n choose what updates you want) and only with firefox.

This be the MS Download center

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&freetext=&DisplayLang=en&DisplayEnglishAlso=

And it can be seen/used with any browser.

I'm being lazy and not using search

Anyone figured out a fix for the insane memory leak? I dont like my browser using 900MB out of 1024MB of ram and kayako esupport suite only works properly in firefox

Or has anyone heard of a fix being in a recent nightly?

Do you have the latest Sun Java installed. The only times I've seen this issue with 1.5 was shen someone was using an old jre.

Plus as I have seen posted, you are supposed to uninstall all other Sun Java versions before installing the newest 1.5

You should do that anyways. I believe Java has always had issues w/ more then one version running at a time, anything Java would take a performance hit.

Yes, very true.

I bow to yer wisdom.

is there an option when i minimize firefox that it goes into my taskbar..same when i click close...

this is default behaviour for me - on minimize - what does yours do? What release (1.5 here)? As for close - well that is going to close it of course! so no idea why you want that to send it to task bar - would be a weird thing... unless you mean systray? There is an option to prompt for confirm on multiple tabs for closure though, which I make extensive use of....

Has anyone had probs with SeaMonkey installs?

I had two machine installs of SeaMonkey go DOA and one install at work on the work machine was fine. All were clean installs to their own directories. The bad installs seem to lock once they start up. You can't click on anything nor scroll, navigate or even shut it down. I have to open the task manager to manually close it. Had ta nuke the two bad ones.

Also I wish it (SeaMonkey) would run when you are running Mozilla (in otherwords both at same time) but SeaMonkey says that default profile is in use, blah blah blah. Is there a way to make them run both at the same time without this profile conflict?

That is what i was lookin for..wonderful....:laugh:

I also just updates and now the roboform toolbar is outdated..what a bust..

 

[muzikool]

I was notified of an update to 1.5.0.1 and it automatically installed in the background. When I restarted the browser the update installed, and then it checked for updates to my extensions and themes.

No more downloading the full package to upgrade. I love it.

No trouble at all w/ SeaMonkey installs here. Have been using it since pre-Alpha releases on both my Mac and Win boxes. Also I thought they had changed SeaMonkey to use /SeaMonkey instead of /Mozilla for storing things such as profiles and program files. You could go into each and make sure that you have set each to use a seperate profile path.
