HOLY SMOKES!!

lord help you when you find out about chrome

 

yea thats pretty wise chrome definatly has its issues but its just too brutally quick to go back to ie although it is testing my patience as of late.

 

When I close firefox is asks me if I want to save something when I close it. If I click yes, when I open is it back up it asks if I want to restore the last secession, click yes and the tabs come back.

I went over to chrome for a few weeks. It is much faster than firefox, but more glitchy and I was having a lot of problems displaying some website. Since gone back to firefox.

 

Give Opera a try... MUCH faster than Firefox and been out for years and years.

I tried 'em all.... Opera has been the quickest, best features, most intuitive, etc. I love it.

 

You might also want to try Safari, its been available for Windows machines for quite some time.

 

I can't believe people still use IE. I've been using firefox for years and pretty much have it perfect for me. I've set up the layout that i like and have addons that i like.

I tried chrome and didn't like the lack of customization. The thing that bothered me most was that the tabs were above the address bar and as far as i could tell, you couldn't change that. Also, Chrome was VERY slow for me. Much much slower than firefox (my version at least)

 

Welcome to the 20th century!

 

Firefox is awesome, I can't stand using other peoples computers that only have ie on them.

On the latest version of Firefox it only offers to save your page with tabs when shutting down if you only have one page open (with as many tabs as you want).

You can't have two pages open and you can't have the download box open or it will not offer you the choice to save your page and tabs for next session.

Firefox is brilliant but it isn't perfect and I have have noticed a bug on the latest version that wasn't on previous. On all our computers when you click on Bookmarks it will open the Add Bookmark feature instead of the drop down list. It works the second time.

Chrome may be fast, but Firefox is more user friendly.

 

And Firefox doesn't tell Google just about everything you do in the internet.

 

In most cases there will be a box in the download box you can check that says "automatically close when download is complete".

 

I guess if you really want to use Windows Media Player...
Go to your Preferences (Tools -> Options) and click on Applications. Go through and switch the file formats of videos/music to your preferred media player, however be aware that not all file formats will play properly if at all in Windows Media Player.

While you're in the preferences under the Main tab about halfway down there's an option "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file", just uncheck that.

Personally I haven't done any testing in Firefox 3 to see if these still help. But these sped up the experience quite a bit long ago:

 

Its under Tools and then Options on the version I'm using. You can change your home page away from boring old FChat too.
Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

So carry Firefox Portable on a memory stick and use that on other people's computers! Applies to many other apps too!

 

This puts additional strain on websites and while it makes them faster, its really not "healthy" for the website you are browsing. Having said that, it does make websites load pretty damn fast
