firefox owns you

peep the sig.

hope you don't mind me using the image you're using too. :blush: looks better than the other one, imo. :)

edit: nevermind, finally got to the button site and saw it there, thought you made it yourself or something. :D

Just downloaded & installed, it seems to be as slow as hell compared w/IE, any tweaks for this? I really want to learn to like it. But even as I type this, the cursor doesnt seem to appear in the reply box, and I'm typing blind here...

One word --- pipelining :D

Right, everything is setup for me in Firefox with the exception of Flash, do I need to edit the registry file that is for Firebird and edit it to suit Firefox?

Or is there another way?

Anyone got linkage to optimized Firefox stuff yet?

MozillaZine is getting hammered into submission right now. I was able to view the Fx build page once, saw an optimized Feb 09 thread, just couldn't get into it. Believe it was by stipe :yes:

sakura.ne.jp is down, mozillazine is down, scragz is down, mozilla.org is molasses-slow. Damn, the whole Mozilla world is rocked by this. I think I'll wait around for the dust to settle :)

I just ran the Flash installer, it detected FireFox and installed itself into FF's plugin directory. Took about 10 secon:). :)

it sure is fast, and it uses the cache really well. It will load images from your cache almost imediatley if you have been to a similar page with the same image. im used to this, being an opera user, but its a lot faster in fire fox

Did you use the Installer or the Zipped build?

I fixed it :woot:, the Flash Installer didn't find Firefox in the list but I just pointed to where the Firefox Plugins folder was and it works now :)

I used the installer for FireFox. Got it off of BitTorrent. If you used the zipped build of FireFox, you can still install Flash by running the Flash installer and manually pointing it to the FF plugin directory during the install.

radish.. just as an fyi.. the flash installer picks up the browser if you use the non-zipped one. thats part of the reason they created a windows installer.

Yeah Spydie, I don't use the Installer because it tends to change the HTML file assoications/icons upon startup - which I don't want :)

Everything is running sweet in Firefox now, thanks guys :happy:

If you don't like the installer, there is a .reg file that adds a Firebird entry so that it will show up with installers such as Flash. I have it at home, but if someone wants it can look for it on Mozilla's site.
