Post by cobra » Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:50 am

so, i updated to firefox 2.0 today and I'm missing an option that is driving me crazy.

everytime i click an email notification it opens up a new window. and the option to force the links to be opened in the same window seems to have disappeared in 2.0.


anybody have a solution?

Its under the following

Tools
Options
Tabs
Then you should see the option on whether you want it to open in a new window or a tab.

Tabs is one feature that I have really come to enjoy in Firefox. It took a while, but I like using the and would hate all the windows that pop in place of them if they weren't there.

IE 7.0 has tabs now. But I think IE 7.0 is horrible. Its so slow compared to 6.

I only say this because some sites "Require" you to use IE when viewing them.
THIS IS MY SIGNATURE. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE.

I'm really liking Firefox 2.0. It's definitely a lot faster than IE7. Only thing I don't like about 2.0 opposed to 1.5 is the placement for the close button on the tabs. I got used to it being in the top right now it's on the tab itself like in IE7. Meh oh well. I'm not an old horse so I can still learn some new tricks.

The tabs are awesome and anyone who still uses IE, well ill just keep my comments to myself, but in general switch to Firefox.

Recommended Extensions for Firefox:

All-in-One Sidebar (handles bookmarks etc better
ForecastFox (apart from the fact that it said it was 37°C (104°F) here a couple of days ago)
TabX (places close button on each tab)
URL Fixer

My recommendation on extensions to add:

Google Safe Browsing
Faster Fox 2.0
AdBlock Plus


and for those that like to block scripts including java etc, with the options to enable certian sites NoScript.
