Firefox 0.8 (1 Viewer)

[jm1234567890]

Mozilla firebird is renamed to Firefox.

This release includes a windows installer so there is no reason not to convert to this fully featured web browser.

Netscape (now dead) was built on the mozilla engine, so this is by no means an incompatible browser.

my only quibble is that is it a little slow to start compared to ie and opera.

yeah, i noticed the slow start up on the last build of firebird.

there's also a new version of thunderbird, i think.

FireFox 0.8 is great.

How can i get my middle mouse button to scroll like in IE and Galeon?

It's working the same as it did for IE for me under FireFox 0.8

 

[-X-]

Type "about:config" in the address bar with out the quotes.

IE style scroll:
set "general.autoscroll" to true.
set "general.smoothscroll" to true.
Middlemouse.ScrollBarPosition to true.

Speeding up the browser:
set "network.http.pipelining" to true
set "network.http.pipelining.firstrequest" to true
set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to true
set "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" to 0.

hope they helped...

KICKASS browser!!

There's also an extension for Firefox - "Preferential" - that displays all those options from "about.config" with explainations in a much easier to use form using threading...
