Alright.. I resisted a couple days before getting extentions.. but I finally went and checked out what they had to offer.. already I'm amazed and love what I've downloaded.. never knew what I was missing until I got more, but now I don't know if I could ever go back
Anyways, I ran into a problem that I image a few people may have (those on *nix, at least). I su'd to root and installed all the extensions I wanted.. as I was guessing some would need root no matter what (like Optimoz Mouse Gestures used to for Firebird). I was pleasantly surprised that most extensions had the option to install locally.. anyways.. some that I installed system-wide wouldn't load for me (as a normal user). As a result, it was locking up every session of Firefox. What you need to do is allow rx permissions to the jar files in your Firefox chrome directory. On Gentoo (and probably a lot of other distros), the Firefox chrome directory is: /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/chrome. Then you need to chmod -R 755 *. For example: latch@afx latch $ su Password: [put in your root password] root@afx latch # cd /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/chrome root@afx chrome # chmod -R 755 * root@afx chrome # exit exit latch@afx latch $ Firefox should then load successfully for you |

Prince, regarding image placeholders, try the following. If it doesn't work, then change it back since I'm not POSITIVE that this is what the setting is for Can't hurt to try though....
1) in the location bar, type about:config 2) find browser.display.show_image_placeholders 3) right click and select modify 4) type in false and then hit enter 5) restart Firefox (probably unnecessary but just in case) 6) check if it works and report back Good luck!

Is there a way to have Firefox load images one by one instead of trying to load them all at the same time? When I go to a uhhhh tread with lots of uhh pictures, like 20+, it is a painfully long wait, as it tries to load all the images at the same time. This means I can sit there for 20 minutes and still not see but the first inch or so of each image, as I am on 56k. It'd be nice if it didn't start loading a jpeg until it had stopped loading the previous one. Is there a way to do this?

Question:
I have tabbrowser preferences extension installed, and have it selected to always open new links in tabs, rather than windows. I'm switching from MyIE2, and in that program, you can set the newly opened tabs to automatically have focus. Is there any way to do this in FireFox? Seriously, it's pretty much the only thing keeping me from bailing on IE-based browsers entirely. MPEDrummer

Did you do both my fix and SM70's fix? It is possible that they are interfering. Try just one or the other.
Also, with TBE, I highly recommend setting Window Mode to "Use multiple browsers only when I open them".

Okay, firefox is pissing me off.
My right click menu changes, and it doesn't always have the options I want. Wassup wit dat? Right now, in this window, I have cut, copy, and paste available. In the other tab I have open, I'm trying to copy and paste some pics from apartment guide.com to a word doc. My rightclick menu has: View Image Copy Image Location Save Image Send Image Set Image as background Block Images Then bookmark choices. I know my keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste, but where are they on the menu? I'm betting I can add them, but I don't know how. Also, when typing in this window, firefox keeps the cursor on top of the last letter I type. It's annoying. I can't see the right half of the letter I'm typing. If I puase typing on the letter "l" for example, the cursor COVERS the "l" completely! Additionally I'm tired of websites telling me that Netscape users can't view this video because of blah blah fucking blah. Every time I want to watch a news clip I end up using IE just to have that ability. Finally, where in the living hell are the directions for mouse gestures? I've got it, and I've figured out how to go back an forth pages, and enlarge/decrease text size. Somewhere there has to be a users manual, and somehow I've managed not to find it. THANK YOU.

I've been finding this version to be buggier than the last. I can't add bookmarks by Ctrl-D or by selecting "Add to Bookmarks." I have to open the manager or bookmark sidebar.
It doesn't seem to handle the Titty Board well, or any pages with many pictures. Sometimes it doesn't let me copy an image to something else, I have to open up IE to do it. Has crashed several times to the point where XP can't even close it.

SecretMethod70:
Thanks so much for this link. I haven't liked Mozilla browsers in the past, I think Netscape ruined it for me. But I do like this FireFox so far. I will try it for a few days, but it is already starting to grow on me.

"Copy Image on Context Menu": they added this in the current nightlies, but the nightlies are a little squirlly (IMHO) at the moment. They usually are for a few weeks after a release, since they are trying out new stuff.
"Titty Board": there's some issues with GDI usage on Windows machines, as well as cache files building up but not releasing. There's been a good amount of chatter on the bug forums, I think they are closing in on some fixes for that.

Strange issue with the fox:
When I open multiple tabs, say when I'm browsing the TB, the whole computer gets very, very slow. Also, it takes forever to get the tab to change. Bits and pieces of the current tab's display will slowly become overwritten with the newly selected tab's stuff until the screen finally swaps tabs. It does this much more with graphics than text. Tabbing FARK doesn't do this much. However, it's not the CPU load that goes up much. In fact, it'll sit at under 20% but the screen won't catch up. Furthering my certainty that this is Firefox issue is the fact that I can open dozens of windows in IE and this does not happen. I can open damn near the whole TB in IE and no big deal. If I open even 5 tabs in Firefox, I might as well ctrl+alt+del. Happens even quicker if one of the posts is huge. Even opening one tab is annoying because for about five seconds while the new tab is loading, in the background, the foreground is frozen. I don't remember this happening at all when I first loaded the fox. Any ideas?

There have been some GDI-type fixes to the nightlies recently that help out with tabs; download from this page, which also has some nice descriptions of the current significant regressions that you might run into, as well as how to work around them.

- AutoFill -
I finally installed Firefox today and I am testing it out to see if the better security outweighs the rendering problems. There is one feature that I loved from IE that I would like to have in Firefox. In IE, I had the Google Toolbar and it had a feature called AutoFill. It was totally sweet and I would like to have it for Firefox. When I buy stuff on the web, it can aut-fill the fields that it highlighted for me. I never used the credit card fields, but it was pretty sweet with all the Demo stuff. Can any of you experts help me? Thanks in advance.

Thanks RedLemon. This is a huge bummer and something that made forms so much easier. - one click and it was done. I installed the Google toobar extension and I was hoping to find one that did this too. I can't seem to move the google toolbar though. I would like to shrink the address bar and put it next to that since I don't use all of the buttons on it and then I would have more space on the screen. The middle click thing could make it very difficult to use any other browsers from here out though. . . nice feature. Oh yeah and the CRAZY adblocking stuff may mess up formatting some, but it even gets those annoying ones that are not pop-up windows but they are something else (flash?).
