oh yeah first post

Welcome, Mr. Garibaldi. You know, I'm just like that (stuck on IE 6... hey Wind!)... may give this a go.

If you're switching from Opera, make sure you install the All-In-One mouse gestures extension:

I don't use the mouse gestures in Opera.

And welcome Mr.Garibaldi

*trying out FireFox*

*likes*

*tries a few extensions*

*really likes*

*tries one too many*

Darn impossible-to-uninstall-from-outside-the-browser extensions! Now I have to reinstall everything, add all the nice extensions, and avoid the one that made FireFox half on load!

I use a 5 button mouse ( and a 5 button plus tilting wheel mouse on my laptop ), no need for all those things then

[color=66ff00]Heheh installed and it won't show mw a scroll bar in the window. Might have been a glitch.

Going for my 6 month format now anyhow, gotta get a few drivers and the like. See you on the other side.

Oh and Welcome Mr. Garabaldi and remember, HLP is a Psi corp. free zone so the only people messing with your head will be forum regulars.

[color=cc9900]I use an 8-button mouse. Back and forth, yeah, I use mouse buttons for that. But when I'm using the graphics tablet, gestures are indispensable.[/color]

Gents, I'm runnin Firefox 0.8 and I've got plenty o' scroll bars.

[Odyssey]

[color=cc9900]Vyper, what OS are you running? Mine loses its scroll bars in 98SE, I guess I could go downstairs and test it on my dad's laptop in XP. Not sure what Maeg is using.[/color]

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Using win2k guys. Firefox is working OK now that I've formatted and reinstalled etc.

[vyper]

Nice... finally a place I can not be so paranoid in  lol

The FireFox allure is slowly pulling me in... I am split between Slim Browser and FireFox... I just don't know!

[mikhael]

I say go FireFox. Its standards compliant. SlipmBrowser really isn't either slim, nor standards compliant, since it depends on the IE activeX object for rendering.

Funnily enough, an extension that I got to work without any hitches the second time around (after backing up my FF directory at a working state).

[mikhael]

That's the best extension out there, Sandwich.  

I consider that, Enigmail and and the one that lets you click on non-linked text and treat it as linked, as absolutely essential.

Nice. Oh, btw, if anyone's curious, FF 0.8 works flawlessly on my XP box.
