that is not the worst in firefox 13, the worst is that it ONLY loads tabs WHEN you go to the tab, which means typically a 10 second WAIT on each tab selected and when you go to the NEXT tab ANOTHER 10 second wait.

if you are like me and have firefox open 15-20 tabs at startup, it used to load them in the background after the first tab was loaded, BUT now I MUST WAIT for EACH tab to load as I want to read it.

Isn't that an option, harpo?  I changed it from the one to the other recently because it wasn't handling loading 20 tabs at once very well.

LizMarr give ,Pale moon A try I gave ff away when went  to   (4) run all fire fox ext .  and  had  no trouble with  it  at all.(http://www.palemoon.org/) IT is Farster to

lordy.... and it's painful....  

why can't they see these things are steps backwards...   

Damn! You guys need a vacation! !0-20 tabs at once! What could possibly be that interesting on the net? I open 1!

Pro Tip: close all tabs, go outside

But that's where the bears are!

It's cold outside....   

pseudo win8? Don't you mean pseudo google chrome?

Only google chrome limits you to 8 tabs so this is a step up.

jyther, thanks.

webgizmos, just the tabs for pms, my posts in sins, my posts in elemental, my replies in both, modding in both, my stardock store my dropbox, my file factory page, and a few other interesting sections in both elemental & sins.

fuzzy, that is where the dropbears are and you do NOT want to be dropped on by a dropbear. it is bad enough being slept upon by the CYATS, at least THEY do not start 15 to 30 metres ABOVE you and land on you in less than 1/10 of a second.

rossco_p, you are so right, that is where the DROPbears are.

sydneysiders, thanks for the link, but I am a fair distance from sydney, and the outside temp is approx 4 degrees C with rain in a coastal area(normal winter minimums are about 10 degrees c), and it looks like it might get colder (and the worst part is that the reverse cycle aircon stops working at 4 degrees C.

taltaamir,  use chrome for a different set of browsing for different types of information

But I like my Speed Dial.

I use speed dial of FF. I'm satisfied with the nine but I have two groups of nine. FF allows you to make more than one group.

My "I don't know where to put this link" page has 30 very little squares. Once in a while I go through them and toss them into a better category. I think that 12 (4x3) is the default. My default is 5x6. I haven't found yet a program that I can have as many pages as I would like and also make it as many little squares. You also can skin it as it is. Background graphics and colors, fonts, and a couple other. I'm not sure why they haven't come up with the same deal for another browser. Nine little squares are just not the same - Foxfire, Chrome, or IE (I think I saw something like it in IE)

IE9 ....mostly 2 tabs....one WC and the other 'Admin' .... a third might be an aircraft-sim site.... now and then a 4th...google.

That's it....

I use FVD Speed Dial in FF.

Is there an advantage to what you are using LizMarr?

I'm a visual person and I can't see very well. The Speed Dial type of system gives me pictures of the pages themselves, or I can use just an image of a detail (like the WC lizard) then I know what it is. The regular bookmarks with words only or pea-sized images take a bit to read and if my hand shakes the whole thing rolls back up and I have to start looking all over again (yes, they are sorted into folders) I have a bunch of seldom used links there though. Research links for my writing, links for Geocaching that I don't look at enough, graphics design and hints, photography, and so on. It isn't that I don't use bookmarks. With the visual system I click a page, say "Publishing", then look for the right image - or I have memorized "upper left", check the name, and I'm on my way. Shaking mouse day, no problem, even my smallest image is an inch and I can target it. Fast, not nearly as frustrating. I can tell you that these forums are on the aqua page, upper right square. Zoom, there already. (several copies of WC and other customizing sites are there too)

which is unrelated to what I said.

I said that firefox is not ripping off metro, its ripping off google chrome.

The statement that chrome and firefox are useful for different things is one I agree with (I use both, for different things) but is unrelated to my argument.

I'm trying to figure out when I opened my Firefox is if the advertisement I got automatically was FF or my ISP.

I have had speed dial available in opera for a long time. I find it annoying. There was a time when I thought it would be cool to set up a home page that had links to all of my favorite websites, but 99% of the time I just click on google anyways. Since modern browsers auto-complete your address bar with recently visited websites, I find that typing 1-3 letters and pressing enter is a very easy way to get where I need to go.

Speed Dial isn't for everyone that is for sure. And the one version is the only that is multi-page and configurable. The rest are about the same, mostly one page. I get disgusted pretty quick with those.

Google sends the links THROUGH their web site. Anything you click on goes through some iteration of Google first. I'm told that it is part of their analytics. The same that some places have sued them to stop or put a switch on. As for searching, the things I search for are vague enough that I might not want the place I was last time, I want the ones I found before that or I want some new ones that I haven't seen. Bookmarking keeps them where I can find them so I don't have to dig through Google's interpretation of what I want to find things.

As for the click thing, using CTRL-Click opens the link to a new tab sans going through Google - loads remarkably faster.
