lardiop Veteran Posted February 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2004 I thought I may as well give it a crack...I'd only breifly used Firebird before for testing purposes for web development. So I've always stuck with IE.But holy sh!t batman, this is bloody unreal. I definitely noticed a huge speed difference. I can proudly say I have switched browers...well at work anyway. Definitely will switch at home as well. I'll still have to crank up IE at work and home for dev. purposes.

lardiop Veteran Posted February 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2004 it will be interesting to see what IE is like in Longhorn If the IE build inside of 4051 is any indication of what they are up to, I think we will all be using 1.something of Firefox the day Longhorn goes gold :yes: :yes: :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/139683-firefox-08/page/13/#findComment-1714455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
idkfa Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 A simple question... Is it possible to rearrange the order of the tabs? I.e.: drag one before/after another like in Visual Studio .NET? I wish it was possible to also do this in Windows on the taskbar.

I.e.: drag one before/after another like in Visual Studio .NET? I wish it was possible to also do this in Windows on the taskbar. Yes... I do it all the time :yes:.. I'm 99% sure its standard, but if you cant do it by default, grab TBE here's a screenshot of my task manager with the excessive use of cpu shown by firefox.exe..with only 2 tabs open. this reply tab and one in the msn messenger downtime threat Damn, that is pretty big comapired to IE... but then again... when you're running a box with 512+MB of RAM and it kicks IE's @$$ so bad, who cares? :shifty: Also remember its still technically a beta. I remember Word Beta 2 in Office 2003 used like 60 megs of RAM after opening a few simple files Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/139683-firefox-08/page/13/#findComment-1714480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmbandfan22 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Is it possible to watch music videos using Firefox at Launch.com? No it is not possible yet as Yahoo doesn't want to embrace Mozilla/Firefox yet.

MikeCoz Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 what is TBE? What does it do? Does it just give you more options? Where can i get it? why is file/edit/view/go/bookmarks/etc. so big? There extra unused space and I just don't think it looks good. Why can't it be more how it is in internet explorer? if there no way to change it i think i might bring it to there attention.
