Firefox!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Firefox!

Ahh, such is a great thing of an Internet browser. Who here uses it, and if you don't just check this out..A couple features.

1. INFINITE ZOOM IN AND OUT!!!!
Example 1
Example 2

2. Matchup Search.
It matchs as it finds, you dont have to keep clikcing find next. It finds the most relevant match closest to the top. If it finds nothing box goes red and says 'Phrase not Found'

Example 3

3. Image Loading!

With a little tweaking you can make this browser load up to 30 images at one time! Instead of one by one by one .If you want to do this I'll post instructions how later.

I'll add more to this list.

NOTE : I don't work with Firefox people, or Mozilla, I'm 15 lol. I just think it's an awesome browser.

And It works fine for me with TLR.

EDIT: Converted into links

Actually, this has been talked about a lot, as an alturnative to IE. The main , uh, uh, lets see, oh yeah, rabbit supporting it, is Esq. j/k

There is also, Maxthon as well.

Note - Can you link the pics too, too big fr the screen.

Yeah, link to the pics.

I use firefox, and make sure everyone on my at-home network runs it. I also use thunderbird for email. They're excellent programs, I highly recommend them.

My favorite feature is the capability for extensions. I use the following ones:

Mouse Gestures (allows you to click and drag rather than pressing forward/back)
Weather (uses weather.com to put a local weather forecast for however long you want in the status bar)
Very helpful and time-saving.

Well you have to support something Final, especially when you consider the alternatives. *Nods towards IE and shudders*

90% still using IE, 9% using Firefox and growing. In Netscapes heyday they had a bigger chunk than that so we'll see what the general public thinks of Firefox as the month roll by.

There's still a lot more bugs in Firefox than IE sinply because most web site were designed with IE in mind...that's just a fact. I still remember the days when I was the biggest complainer about how TLR didn't render things right using Netscape.

Two Words: Tabbed Browsing.

It may have been done before, but damn if it isn't cool.

Post Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:34 am

Post Fri Jan 28, 2005 5:37 pm

you can easily make it a gif...but it wont have music..

Post Fri Jan 28, 2005 6:11 pm

I am a PROUD firefox user.

Post Fri Jan 28, 2005 6:23 pm

the only thing i dont like about firefox is that it sometimes wont let me download something. the "ok" button will be greyed out.

and aravis, the flash is actively updated (my halo 2 stats) so even if i knew how to make a flash that i dont have access of downloading into a gif, it would be kina useless...
