~~t wouldn't show followed links by changing their color.~~
It allows you to change the colors to your preference. It gives you about 50 colors to choose from. I use blue for link and burnt orange for read on Firefox.
Yes, I looked for that and despite the correct settings, it didn't work. I guess not everything can work correctly in a version that has yet to attain 1.0 status.
Try 'uninstalling' and then 'install' the newest version of Firefox. I think they have 9.3 out now. I just checked mine and it is working fine. I updated my version 2wks ago. good luck.
It's 0.9.3 and I dont think Firefox is so great that I'm going to reinstall it on the off chance it fixes the bugs in it. The way it brings you back to the top of a page when using the back button is also a major drawback.
DOS 5 was wonderful compared to DOS 4.0.
That is wierd, because mine does not bring me back to the top of the page when I use the back button. It takes me right back to where I was when I changed pages. I think you have gremlins. I hear they are hard to get rid of, but you can claim them as dependants on your taxes :-)
I probably got the gremlins from lurking at DU.
I have installed it on my dell with zero problems.
Not sure there 3 of 5 claim really makes sense, as we are testing it at my work and not a single machine has had a problem.
I have Windows XP on my computer which is a Dell Dimension 4500S.
Try Mozilla instead of Firefox. I've been using Mozilla for a few years now, and I swear by it. I can't stand firefox or IE. Firefox, as you'll note, isn't even 1.0 yet, which essentially means it's 'beta' quality right now. I have next to no problems at all with Mozilla. I use Multi-zilla to get enhanced tabbed browsing, and a few other plug-ins that make my day go smoother. The built-in mail client is a dream, esspecially the spam filter - which filters roughly 60 - 80 messages a day for me with less than 5% false negatives now. (It requires some time to 'train' it to be accurate) It's also available free at Mozilla.org.
Why Indeed Not Destroy Our Work Stations
I have done that and noticed that although I was told how much faster Linux is, it ran way slower than windows. This was using both Redhat and Mandrake vs. Win98se, Win2k, WinXPpro on the same machine...all of them installed with no other OS to clutter things up. I really wanted Linux to work as good as advertised, but was dissappointed by the results.
I will mention that I detest Internet Exploder and refuse to use it. I liked Netscape untill AOL screwed it up, so I use Mozilla (the basis for Netscape without the yucky AOL crapola).
You can get it here: Latest Mozilla version
bookmarking for later
BTW, my favorite feature of Mozilla is the very useful and customizable pop-up blocking. That was the main reason I tried it. I hate popup ads and now I never see them.
{{{sigh}}}
Thanks, that's a interesting site. Had I seen it before trying, I probably would've waited a month or two before trying SP2. But since my daughter was "going remote" on a college LAN, I thought it was worth the risk.
After being up almost all night, I finally got her machine working after a fashion but it seems to be some sort of update hybrid - a frankinmachine of sorts. Still not sure what exactly what's updated and what isn't.
Too much fun for one (36 hr) day - I'm going to take a nap...
Hm, lookie there: something we agree on. Love Avant Browser, and have won a number of converts.

I am thinking that since I am one of the poorest Freepers I will probably have the upgrade in a few years =o)
I thought MS wasn't putting the release version for home users out until August 25?
Microsoft unveiled its Version 5 Windows Update page this morning. Its much cleaner and faster loading than the old one. Good job!
