Siders77 Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Where can I get the PlugIns from? Cheers :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Where can I get the PlugIns from? CheersĀ :( ← Tools > Extensions, click 'get more extensions'. Id download tabbed browsing preferences, mouse gestures and 'download tweak' or something. To change the settings of the extensions you download, you need to restart firefox (to install them), then go back into tools > extensions, click on the extension you want to change and then click options :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModRider! Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 How can someone have a wrong opinion? I prefer IE, cos I cant be arsed getting used to a new browser, and then it be different every time I use a different PC, and have to get used to IE again. Methinks this poll will end up slightly biased - only the people who bum FireFox will vote. For the record - can someone list (legitimately) whats better about FireFox? Ta. ā I use IE aswell for same reason but i did have firefox and it was great and i think its a bit faster and stops some popups i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Thanks Tom, I downloaded The ones you said, and FoxyTunes. It's Great! Thanks Again. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Mouse gestures is a good idea too, altho it'll probably mean I'd have to stop randomly waggling my mouse aboutĀ :">Ā :( ā Haha, no, don't worry. Doesn't affect the random highlighting I always do. If anything it makes me waggle my mouse about more. You get a red line to draw with :) Look, see?

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) You did all that for a smiley :( Thanks, Callum Foxytunes isnt bad actually! Edited May 8, 2005 by Has anyone seen my shoe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 also if you get the 'Little Fox' browser theme, it maximizes your viewing space. ā That's a good find actually. I don't like using f11 'cos then you lose the start bar, but that theme is really good. Nice one :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Ive got abstract pc theme. Makes it look a bit like a mac methinks. Thanks, Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexx Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Oh, i forgot to mention, one THE BEST plugins in the weather one. It's so convenient, I never used to check the weater, now it's just always there in the bottom corner. It's really acurate too. It actually changes when it's raining / sunny etc in real time, and the days ahead forcast is usually spot on :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexx Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Ha, but my computer is right by the window :( ā So Is mine, but when i wakeup before collage I know if i need to take my coat or not. Also uber-usefull for planning if i'm going out tomorow etc :) If I didn't have it i'm not organised enough to watch the weather or check websites daily to see the weater forcast. Once again it's just one of those little convenience things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Ha, but my computer is right by the window :( ā And the mouse is right next to your computer. You still use mouse gestures dont you! So so I I also use the weather updates. Thanks, Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 I'm not quite sure I follow that! ā You say he can look out his window instead of the weather extension. You can click or do whatever you can do with mouse gestures manually. I did write that a bit shit sorry. Thanks, Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 You say he can look out his window instead of the weather extension. You can click or do whatever you can do with mouse gestures manually. ā Yes, but not as quickly. And I'm lazy :( Haha, I'm sure the weather forecast one is good. I might get it, even if it is a bit pointless. Do the extensions add anything to the resources that FF uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanRs Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 That's a good find actually.Ā I don't like using f11 'cos then you lose the start bar, but that theme is really good.Ā Nice one :( ā Yea, i dont like the F11 on IE neither. i dont really no why, but firefox 'littlefox' is brill! Also -By using tabs, firefox uses less RAM / Virtual memory as having mutiple instances of IE. it also uses a considerable less ammount of Video RAM,so this helps to smoothen scrooling (sp?) and less use of system RAM speeds up system response! resulting in a smoother running system while browsing etc!

Ry ā My firefox actually uses around 6x more RAM then ie does/did. I still however use firefox, purely for the security and the stability. Given, it has crashed a few times, and when PC is under high usage, it randomly closes windows :) but i still love it. Most people who don't like firefox, still use ie. :( It took me IE die'ing and simply not working at all for me to download it, but i will never look back.
