Fasterfox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269

Hmmmmm, I didn't know about FasterFox. I'm tryin' it out now. Seems
to help on dog sites the most, is my initial impression.

I must confess that I typically do use Firefox whilst burning....I just can't help myself when it comes to multitasking. I also can't live without mouse gestures...

Is that for someone who doesn't have all the buttons on their mouse? I have forward/back buttons on my mouse. Can't live without them!

I didn't know there was so much more you could do with FF and the plugins. I'm gonna give it a try

@soup - Thanks for starting the topic

OK I installed FF now I got a question. FF imported everything I wanted from IE with no hassle
Is there a way to drag the toolbars up like in IE. In IE I only have the title bar and then the standard buttons and address bar on 1 line.

Nah...it's for people who are too lazy to drag the mouse from the bottom of the screen all the way to the top to click the back button. That is the one I use the most, but there are alot more. Basically it is just button combos and movements that trigger commands with your mouse instead of clicking a radio button somewhere on your browser.

You can right click on one of your existing toolbars to add/remove or change the way it works. I think this is what you are asking as I've not used IE in years.

@locoeng - Thanks, I figured that part out already to add and remove Icons.
In IE I can drag the whole toobar up to the top to have only 1 toolbar with everything I want on 1 line. I only been using FF for a few hours and I like it already

You tried it and don't like it Chewy?

It's a problem with reflex and habits, maybe if I hid the IE icon on the desktop

I have a couple of sites that really screw up IE with scripts and I am using FF for them when I can remember

Thats what I did, and deleted the icon in quick launch too to give FF a good test run for me.

You are welcome jm1647, I have even found a couple of AddOns from this thread I am going to check out. It sure is a lot easier than scrolling through them all at Mozilla, I think I once made it to Page 11.

You could always just change the icon on your desktop chewy...

I have IE7 on my desktop but FF in my quick launch. So FF is always my 1st choice. I just hate programs that pick IE7 instead of FF when linking out of the program.
