1984 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 What do you mean no forward or back buttons? I have them. The green arrows at the top of the screen...they were completely gone and nowhere to be found. super annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 If you have the extension (add-on) "Toolbar Buttons" you will (I don't know how) have access to many different defunct extensions just by dragging the button(s) to any accepting toolbar. I think it's a leftover freak from the beta trials that somehow survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted June 19, 2008 Author Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2008 Opera's browser market share should be going up now. Hopefully Mozilla fixes the FF3 issues, but they've lost me forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony A Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The FF addon site is just useless right now. I feel like I am on dial up with a 20 year old computer trying to use that site. It's ridiculous. Probably all the band wagon boys trying to download extensions all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunerz Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Firefox 3, in my computer, just performs faster/better than Firefox 2. It starts faster, loads sites quicker, and consumes less memory in my observations. I just wish that Opera had a granular control of ads and scripts like in Adblock Plus and NoScript, without sacrificing startup time. Then I would be a happy camper.

Anthony A Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Every screen shot I see of FF3 or skin preview on the addon site has an over sized back button. I don't have that. I set the icon size to small or large and I don't have an over sized back button. Is that only on Vista or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If you select to use small icons the Back button becomes the same size and format as the Forward button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony A Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If you select to use small icons the Back button becomes the same size and format as the Forward button. Yes but I tried it on both the small icon and big icon setting and neither way has the big back button that I keep seeing in screen shots. I am on XP so is the big back button an Vista thing?

Then I would be a happy camper. I have no problem with the Opera content blocker. I add a filter list from the several available and I am very happy with the ad blocking. As for NoScript that functionality is built right into Opera as well. Just disable java script globally in Opera settings than enable it on a per site basis with Opera's Site Preferences feature. Site Preferences is one of Opera's best features. I use it to manage cookies to. I set Opera to delete new cookies on exit but disable that on sites I want to keep cookies for so they are white listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtman Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I am truly baffled! Firefox has been my rock for some time now, but after trying FF3 I'm as wary as I ever was with IE. I'm a bit late on the uptake, but I installed FF3 on my work mc today - instantly disappointed cos it reported 80% of my extensions failed to work Anyway, I thought maybe it'll take a while for the developers to update them - the main concern was my fav - IETab didn't work (no updates avail. etc.) - a lot of my work sites need IE to work properly, so I thought - bin it - re-install FF2; did so and it all crashed ...! Again, and again - only FF safe mode worked ... Somehow, I recovered FF2 (numerous reboots etc.) and was able to resume work (with FF2) and forgot about it until I got home. I had sent the link to download FF3 to my home address (before all the hoo-ha), and for some reason (morbid curiosity perhaps?) I installed FF3 and it only complained about 10% of my extensions.....WTF?? I know I have some different extensions at work & home (such as at home I like the Dilbert add-in [can't have that at work!], etc.), but most are common such as IETab (which did not complain - in fact it updated..!) What is going on?? My home mc is Vista (32 bit), my work mc is XP - why the difference??? I'm writing this now in FF3 (may sound even weirder but it is physically different looking [and not just Vista diifs.] from FF3 on my work mc) All my fav. extensions work sweet on Vista, but not on XP - huh?? Why? I can understand the other way round - what happened to FF3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, I use the following add-ons : Adblock Plus Adblock FilterSet.G Updater Basics Download Statusbar Feed Sidebar Firebug 1.2.0b3 FireGestures Flashblock ForecastFox Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer Nightly Tester Tools (currently disabled. its only there when I decide to test those supposedly 'incompatible') Open IT Online User Agent Switcher IETab Skins - Aquatint Black Gloss, Past Modern. I've not had any problems so far. Generally, what most people seem to come across, (ie - crashes, slowness, etc) I've not found. I've had nothing but smooth sailing since beta 5. It's odd. Fantasy is the celebration of what we no longer are: individuals certain of our meaningfulness in a meaningful world. The wish-fulfillment that distinguishes fantasy from other genres is not to be the all-conquering hero, but to live in a meaningful world. The fact that such worlds are enchanted worlds, worlds steeped in magic, simply demonstrates the severity of our contemporary crisis.Scott R. Bakker, Why Fantasy and Why Now?

Would you please explain just how the IE Tab works? I have it but not quite sure what to do with it. Can I get windows update through it?
