IE7 has the most badly design UI ever. The home, stop/refresh and back and forward buttons are all placed randomly around the UI. The tab bar has been stupidly placed above the file/edit/view etc bar and cant be hiden when there is only 1 tab open. And the file/edit/view bar is the bottom toolbar, completely out of sync with the rest of windows XP

Heres a screenshot:

394378 2005-10-08 11:34:00 What a.... very strange and annoying place to have the file/edit toolbar. Surely you can move it around? mejobloggs (264)

394380 2005-10-08 20:15:00 plus there's the fact on both of my XP computers it loads slower than Firefox @_@

anywho, does adblock, tabbrowser preferences and undoclosetab extensions work in this?

394381 2005-10-08 20:44:00 Adblock and tab browser prefs will work. They have updated versions which will d/load automaticly.

When FFox checks for some updated extensions it may say that they are not compatible with 1.05b and disable the extensions, but it seems most of them can be updated by going to the extension's homepage manually to check for new versions.

I like the new options layout... much tidier :thumbs:

394382 2005-10-08 20:48:00 Chill- you know you shouldn't slap techie kids, no matter what stupid things they say. Apparently it's unPC (the other sort of unPC that is) and probably by now against the law.

Better option is to remove computer privledges and watch them howl :D

(Uh oh- spellcheck is one extension that's gone with 1.05b)
