Internet Explorer FTL.....

Users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed.

The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

FireFox FTW!

Hey you FF guys, where is the setting so when I click on a bookmark it automatically opens in a new tab? Netscape had a setting for that so i assume FF does too, but I can't find it

[sweetbmxrider]

tools: options: tabs: check it!

[Knipps]

ctrl + T, open bookmark :lol:

[BonzoHansen]

Current setting:

New pages should be opened in: a new tab

You are as much help as taking sand to the beach.

maybe, but it works doesn't it? :moon:

No, I want a new tab to open when I click on a book mark, not highlight and 2 keystrokes. Hell, I can right click it too. that is a click & 2 mouse button clicks. I want one click!!!! Netscape could do it!!!!

I'm not crying! I'm just pointing out your uselessness!

[Knipps]

I gave you a solution, it may not be the one you want, but it works!

[BonzoHansen]

A ******** windows style fix!

[Knipps]

DL Netscape then.

[BonzoHansen]

it's dead!!!!

[deadtrend1]

I totally forgot about Netscape. I haven't used that since Lincoln was in office...

Sure you have, it's called firefox now. :-P

[deadtrend1]

no no .. I was talking about NETSCAPE. Not firefox. :moon:

[BonzoHansen]

Right! From what I see they changed the name. This interface is almost exactly the same as Netscape. Except I can't get a new tab to open when i click a bookmark!!

open the bookmark dropdown menu scroll down to the bookmark you wanna open, and middle click...

[BonzoHansen]

Best answer yet. I never thought of clicking the scroll wheel.

[NastyEllEssWon]

scroll down the bookmark list and right click open in new tab

^^^ not necessary wheel click ftw. anything you click on with the wheel opens in a new window fyi

[BigAls87Z28]

Autozone uses Liniux/FF for all thier software and internet stuff, and I cannot stand it.

Same idea, not identical projects though. Firefox was initially created by a teenager that was working on the Netscape project.

scroll down the bookmark list and right click open in new tabReading Fail. That was already mentioned as a poor solution.

[Knipps]

Firefox FTW :)

I have norton protection when I use IE, as well as log-in identity etc...will the norton carry over to firefox if I d/l it and use that as my main browser?

EDIT: d/l FF and was able to switch over my norton/history/identity etc. now I just uninstall IE?

Since Microsoft created Windows, as well as Internet Explorer, they basically made it where you have to have IE installed on your system... like, Windows Update, Media Player, Messanger, and anything that was created by Microsoft will not use another "browser" other than their own when downloading/installing updates for those programs, reguardless what you set as your default browser.

Ive tried uninstalling IE a very long time ago and failed. So I just left it alone.

[Teds89IROC]

ah ok makes sense, so I'll just delete my browsing history and temp files on IE and leave it unused...thanks noah

[PolarBear]

now I just uninstall IE?

IE is part of the OS for Windows. You can type web addresses in explorer windows and local paths is IE, opens new windows but it is basically the same thing. Thats how Microsoft got away with selling the OS with the browser. Netscape was pissed about it a long time ago. :-x

Works in IE too, FF Fails :wink:

[sweetbmxrider]

someone create an add on that does this, we can all dl it and agree ff is teh best

I use\like IE7, I dont get virus' or screw up my computers :shrug:

[sweetbmxrider]

good for you. hope it stays that way. when a company states that you should no longer use their product/services, i usually raise an eye of concern.

[PolarBear]

Well that means people dont know how to use computers properly :lol:
A lot of people dont have firewalls either, some people are dumb enough to connectly to the ISP

[sweetbmxrider]

:rolleyes: yeah.....good luck with that :lol: insta-hacked!
