Mozilla Or Opera??

[p2xgamers]

Re: Mozilla Or Opera??

p2xgamers - Tools>>Extensions>>double click the tabbed browser extension.

- Goto Gestures and select "Restore the last Tab Session". This should bring up the tabs that were open when you closed FF.

- X tab button. Goto Appearance and highlight Tab. On the right at the top it should say "Closebox in Tabs". Select the "Show in any tab always" option.

It is called "Tabbrowser" correct? Because all of what you mentioned is not accesable by me. (if you double click an extension it brings up options which I have to go through tools > options, once there there is no gesture part and closebox in tab part either )

Here's a direct link to it:

You have to install, restart FF and the extension should be where your other extensions are (mine are under tools > extensions - this is version 1.5.03 of FF).

Re: Mozilla Or Opera??

Ah I see what I had was "Tabbrowser Preferences". Thanks for the link.

EDIT: Argh though it messes up a bunch of stuff. (i cant click on tabs or see the titles, cant open a link in a new tab or close a tab with the middle click )

I prefer Opera. I use Firefox as well, but I spend more time adding extensions to it to make it work like Opera than nessecary.

Opera has everything that I personally like right out of the box. Firefox is good, but it looks and behaves just like IE in that everything is so dull looking, even with skins. I don't know, I can't put my finger on it.

I like Opera. Only problem is some online games and media aren't compatible.

I use Opera also. It moves so well for some wonderful reason. I tried Firefox but got a few problems with it in the speed department. It's still a wonderful browser but after Opera, I just can't see myself going back. I mean, I turn off my computer, go to work, come back, start it up and I'm back in the thread I was last in without having to go searching. Tabs are just so......wonderful. I never tried to do any meia in Opera. Usually download most of the media I'm into. I don't usually play games online like that. You can play games on Firefox just like IE? The extension thing is a somewhat downer for me but I'd be interested in knowing a bit more........

Re: Mozilla Or Opera??

The only thing I hate about Firefox is that it eats up memory like crazy. I only have one tab open (OS) and it's chewing up 114k of my memory. When you have an old PC like I do that is a lot. IE only takes up about 15k and runs much smoother.

i use opera . its much faster , though mozilla has much more features , and y ou can customize it. its eats up too much damn memory which is really why i dont use it much.

Agreed. I have it open from when I arrive at work until lunch. By lunch it's close to 200mb. That's without surfing that entire time. I still haven't figured out a way to fix this. Although my work PC has 1gb of RAM and dual 3.2 Ghz processors so speed isn't an issue.

I've tried Opera and while I like somethings about it, I like the ability to customize FF. I like that I can get popup alerts when I get a Yahoo email and I like the weather bar that I installed at the bottom (extension "forecastfox").

I might give Opera a longer look if it had these things.

Re: Mozilla Or Opera??

ok so I've been having this problem as well... My firefox died the other day and now when I click on it to go online nothing is happening. Thus I've been using IE and it's a pain in the butt. So two questions, one how do I get firefox working again (I've tried restarting my computer, no luck there) and two if I can't get it to work how can I get the download to work? Or is there an option on Opera where I can import all my favorites from Firefox into Opera?

There is an option but I didn't know how to get it to work. I couldn't get the gidgets (extensions) to happen either.

Re: Mozilla Or Opera??

I don't know if you guys know this but on Opera, if you highlight a certain passage (words) on a site or whatever, you can have it spoken if you right click. It is pretty cool. I forgot about that. Does Firefox have that included? If so, I would have never known that on the real. It's a cool feature. Kind of like that Bonzi moneky that I downloaded when I was in college. Write it in the little message part and the monkey would say it. Pretty cool stuff.......

You mean that spyware that you put on your PC in college and didn't know it? That's what the Bonzi Buddy was.....spyware.

Oh, I meant to say I put it on my friend's computer. I was smarter than to download some stupid crap like that. He had that sucker back in 2003 and now has that thing freaking given him problems. I think he deleted that joint off his computer not too long ago but since he didn't have his antivirus, all that spyware evolved into whatever the heck. They're are parasiting on that computer last I checked which was around 2004. I'm smarter than that.......

Re: Mozilla Or Opera??

SUPER BUMP.....I had to search for this thread. I'm trying out Firefox officially again. I realized that I shouldn't limit my computer to just 2 web browsers. Each has their own uniqueness that they bring to the table. I hate that Firefox is slowly eating up the memory but I have enough to go around for now. It is incredibly fast too which is a relief. Can't wait to see how long it freezes. Kind of like how easy it was to import my bookmarks from Opera into Firefox. Initial try is a good one. Was wondering what OS is using now? Seemed like this thread was more recent than 2006. I'm getting old.
