| 290890 | 2004-11-13 23:00:00 | Extensions are little add-ons which other Firefox users have written which enhance the capabilites of the browser - eg. there is a Gmail notifier, extensions which let you use download managers etc. All are free, and can be downloaded from: update.mozilla.org And to hijack this thread slightly, does anyone know how to override no-right-click restrictions people put on their sites using Javascript? It gets annoying when you can't open a link in a new tab. (I'm on Firefox 1.0) |

In about:config, change dom. event. contextmenu. enabled (which will be set to "True") to "False". |

That's a great question - I take special delight in copying photos that are right-click/save disabled ]:) In your circumstance though all you need to do is enable the middle button function to open a new tab when you use it to click on a link |

| 290893 | 2004-11-13 23:15:00 | Thanks Greg. I found the solution (posted above), however the middle-click idea seems quite useful. Since I have a 2 button scroll mouse, would the scroll wheel be the "middle button"?? |

Firefox is installed and working OK. I like it, but so far do not see if it is any better than Netscape 7. |

| 290896 | 2004-11-14 02:41:00 | really gooooooood, tabbed browsing works fine as does the rest of firefox. I am on dial up and this morning downloaded a zone alarm pro update and firefox downloaded it at a constant rate of 4.2 kbs sec. IE never gets that fast....so firefox rocks :D :D :D :D :D :D thats just my experience, since using firefox everything has been better, pages load faster, much faster downloads and generally a much more pleasent experience than IE has ever given. g |

| 290897 | 2004-11-14 02:51:00 | What about Firefox 1 . 0 vs Opera 7 . 54? Is it worth changing? I find Opera to be a quality and speedy browsing experience . . . |

If not, why not give it a whirl so that you can compare them directly . Remember tho, anything new/different needs a good try out before being sentenced :D But it all comes down to using whatever browser that offers you what you need, YMMV :p |

| 290899 | 2004-11-14 05:12:00 | Been using it for about 15 minutes... First impressions - good, clean interface - easy to configure etc. Definately faster than IE 6 but I would say on par with Opera 7.54 Does not work with ANZ internet banking with logon issues. I've found it not as customisable as Opera so far (eg I like tab bar along the bottom and more freedom with toolbar placement) - maybe with some extensions/addons/themes etc. this can be improved. |
