While I applaud your promotion of FireFox, is there any way you can make it so I do not lose half of my visibile screen every time I log on with IE?

yes, use something other than IE
 I'll have a look and see what i can do... (i know some people can't use anything bar ie away from home)... I also think it's buggering up ipb's scripts.... EDIT:- Is that better? |

Things like this happen when people have too much time on their hands.

I must admit it's beginning to piss me off too. It's no better behaviour than Microsoft's 'Have you been told where to go today' ads
 If I want advice on what software to run, I'll ask for it ! Whilst I was an early Netscape user and supporter, sorry to say a browser is just a basic tool to me these days.

Love the forums but hopefully the "temporary" Firefox banner will go soon.

I've been pretty busy with work the last two weeks and haven't had much of a chance to check the forums, so i'm coming in a bit late on this, but I do agree that the Try Fifefox banner is annoying.
The answer "Switch to Fifefox" isn't appropriate either. I have tried it, and while it's an adequate browser there are just too many little annoying things for me to use it comfortably. I use Maxthon (formerly myie2) and have done for 3 years. While it does it does use the IE to render it's pages it's a far cry from standard IE so the standard arguments for using firefix instead of IE don't apply. With the number of tabs I ussually have open the last thing i need is another banner at the top.  And while we're at it, maybe the DVBOwners.com Discussion Forums heading could be a bit narrower too. -------------------- |

I did actually end up downloading it and trying it, just because of the $#@%!@#$@# banner. But I have to agree with Nate it just ain't worth the bother

Well I'm trying it at the moment. The biggest IRRITATION is that the bookmark folders - of which I have many - don't automatically close if I select another folder.
I simply don't know what the fuss is all about. Can someone explain why I should be using Firefox. I am totally up to date with all MS OS and App patches. I have an autoupdating ativirus s/w. I run upto date antispyware s/w. I never go to dodgy sites. So give me 10 good reasons. |
