Who else is using it above IE?

Get it <a href='http://www.spreadfirefox.com/' target='_blank'>here</a>. I like the damn thing...it is a real IE killer (I converted all my internet shit to it...I'm typing this message and browsing theroms on it too).

You shoulda clued us in earlier then. I just stumbled upon it (earlier this week) while updating my old ass Mozilla beta.

MLG is right, tabbed browsing is indeed the shit.

Oops. That was posted during my absence. That just goes to show that even vet (not just newbs) members should search the forums.

My only prob with the switch is now all my temp IE files are showing up in unusual places (winamp has all the audio from IE in it, and Windows Media Player acts like its jealous that FF and accessing it).

Simple fix, delete those temp files and keep using my better alternative till WMP has to be used.

Or even better use iTunes for your music. It's much sexier then Winamp and it even has a PC version for you deprived folks :P

Hehe, a sexy media player is just what I need right now (this foxy tunes extension is compatible with Winamp and Itunes so that may be an idea). I just noticed that adblock thing too. It helps with loading pages for a 56k user like me that wants to keep those shitty flash ads from taking up bandwidth.


TMBG on the boards? Nice to see you again bud.

Nice to see you too, man.

You might be able to even squeeze a lil' more speed out of Firefox. In the URL window type about:config and in the find box type "paint". There should be one listing. Change the 250 to 0 - that means pages will start to load as soon as Firefox gains any information about them. I noticed a slight speed increase...
