Re: Fire fox 1.0 Preview Release is out
I've tried Firefox v. 1.0 PR, and I think it's mostly worthless. Whenever I try to view any type of webpage other than .htm or .html (eg .php...there's another example that I can't think of right now), Firefox won't run it. It'll essentially say "Sorry, I'm a stupid fucking program, and I have no clue what-so-fucking-ever what to do with this webpage!"
So, I promptly uninstalled it. I'll stick with IE until something better comes around.

I don't have that problem. Not sure what's going on there. With most things if Firefox can't view it, it's because a plugin is needed (like quicktime) and it automatically suggests what I ought to download.

Yeah, most message boards in general are php, and I haven't had any problems with Firefox on any of them... (using it as we speak, actually.)

Me neither. Did you install the latest stable release, or one of the nightly builds?

I've got 1.0 PR, I believe, the same as Goliath.

Re: Fire fox 1.0 Preview Release is out
Actually my question was for Goliath. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have Firefox 1.0PR and it has no problems with .php or any other web files.

Re: Fire fox 1.0 Preview Release is out
I had Firefox 1.0 PR, and it couldn't display this board. At all. Strange that it's working for you guys...

Re: Firefox 1.0 Preview Release is out
Maybe firewall software is not letting that program do anything?
I wouldn't put it past microsquish to screw with it that way. I would suspect something on your machine is keeping it from working properly, or it didn't install properly the first time.

Re: Firefox 1.0 Preview Release is out
I am liking the dictionary plugin .
Highlight a word on a page and right click. The context then has "define: word" as an option. In the options you can choose from a range of dictionary servers to use, some of them will suggest alternate spellings if the word is misspelt. I am forever copying words from pages and then typing define:<paste word from clipboard> to see the definition of a word, this is just way easier.
I am also liking linkification
This one simply wraps url tags around plain text that is a url. Don't you hate it when someone types a URL in plain text and then you have to cut and paste it into the address bar? Now these are automatically presented as clickable links.
Editted to add another I like close tab with double click This one is for exceptionally lazy people like myself who find right clicking and then selecting from a context and left clicking to be too much work. Just double click on any tabbed page and it closes. Sweet

Re: Firefox 1.0 Preview Release is out
I love the dictionary plugin and the close tab with double click, but I got fucked by the latter when I was working on a big post and switching between tabs to get links, and (because of the stupid laptop trackpad) accidentally closed the tab that held the post I was working on.

Oh I can definitely see that happening. I do my best to avoid the touch pad thingies.

Does firefox have a 'reopen last (accidentally) closed tab' feature? I've used this in myie plenty of times!
Does your interest in firefox have anything to do with its useful abbreviation FF?

It looks like someone was thinking the same thing, 'cause there's a firefox extension just for that: Reopen-Last-Tab Extension. I'm gonna install that when I get home!

Re: Firefox 1.0 Preview Release is out
Blimey, it works! In the right-click menu there's now a 'undo close tab' option that does what it says. Woot.

I swear Firefox is such the bomb. I forget who turned me on to it, but it was someone here, possibly Farren? I forget who it is that is always talking smack about Microsoft, but in any event thanks. I love this browser *heads off to get that undo close extension thingy*

Damn, I knew I was getting that wrong. Thanks Scotty for showing me the error of my ways.
