Maybe, just maybe ... the OP was sharing a heads up to his friends and associates on the wedding forum that may want to avoid a problem. Don't we all use browser's to view and participate on this forum? Wouldn't be nice if we had advance notice that could spare someone from an annoying circumstance. The subject is nor more off topic than many other threads that have quite a number of comments posted.
Nope .. the OP offered an unsubstantiated, personal & negative observation about a widely used and accepted web browser.
Now if he offered more specifics about the supposed problem(s) then we may have something worth reading and checking into ourselves.
As it stands his comment is just as stupid as saying "don't drive a Honda".

Couldn't agree more with you Mike (as I do on many of your views) on the merits. There is not much meat in the original post. But I don't see discussing the actual details or observations to be OT. No more than discussing any other tool we use. Those topics also often begin with unsubstantiated claims. Through the flow of discussion we often all learn something new and useful. Hopefully Marcus will revisit the issue and clarify more in detail.
brillantly put butch. i agree that it's not as OT as one would think and if you see firefox as a tool we use - and he could give the heads up to his photog friends... it's worthwhile.
besides.. if it's not of interest to you move along. i didn't care for.. or need to participate in the cough supressant conversation so I just skipped it instead of trying to police it..... HA
there's value in the journey as Butch has pointed out.... maybe we'll all learn something along the way...
like in the pocketwizard thread that some have suggested be moved to the lighting forum ... someone learned that a PW can fire some old school POS flash with the right synch cable... that's worth while!
It messes up for me in the FM forums. If you go to the mail forum page and then hold CTRL and click one of the subforums (to open in a new tab), it will open in a new tab AND load in the current tab.
If you don't like it though... just CTRL + F4 and your problems will disappear.

Well at least someone coughed up a reason .. but I've never done that particular action here so it really does not affect me.
FF3 gives me fits when I log into hotmail, directs me to a page saying I need to upgrade to IE or FF haha
Otherwise no major issues, I don't like how the tabs are fixed width-- when I have 10 or so open, I have to use that stupid scroll arrow. Otherwise it's great. I skipped FF2 altogether, upgraded from ver 1.

Hotmail did the same thing to me yesterday, with FF 2 ! It has never done that before.

Or like just saying "don't shoot for Bella" with no backup reasons.

- Open Firexfox and type about:config in the Address Bar.
Click to say you will be careful when it warns" Here be dragons" !
- In the Filter Bar type browser.tabs.tabMinWidth (this will display just the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth parameter)
- Double click on browser.tabs.tabMinWidth and in the Enter integer value pop up window, change the number (Value) to anything under 40. Click OK to set the new Value. Try say 20
Now when you surf the Internet and open many tabs, you will have a lot more tabs showing then when the width of the value was set at 100.
