I like to have a complete sight of open pages and programs on my taskbar so I can click on it right away. I don't want to have to search in one page's tabs as well.
also, I use two monitors and I often need to look at two pages at the same time (one being an input page, the other being an output page for example) I do try to avoid cluttering the taskbar with too many windows open, but I would always do that, tabs or not [ 11-27-2004, 06:28 AM: Message edited by: Irongrinder ] |

Odd, I actually find using tabs more efficient. I can open the program I want, then go to the page I want within that program, rather than having to guess the right Window straight away (which I usually get wrong because I can't see the titles). And you can force thw width of tabs to always be a certain number of pixels, no matter what, meaning you won't get the problem of them being too short to be able to have enough information.

Fo having an input page and an output page, Firefox is more than capable of using tabs and windows at once. And if you get the duplicate tab or clone window extension, you can copy a tab - including all of it's history - into a new Window. But, to each his own for that is the Firefox ideal.

hehe, it's probably also a bit of being stubborn involved with not using tabs
I usually just try to not have more then 3 browser pages open, by using the bookmarks a lot |

Ok, if you think that vulnerbility is bad, look at this vulnerability. Reported as highly critical, and it's still unpatched over a year later! For those who will undoubtedly say that MS mightn't know about it, remember that Secunia advise the vendor of the problem before they make it public...

My IE doesn't even work anymore. You can't go three links without it encountering a fatal error and shutting down. Although I don't use firefox, but Netscape, although I notice my brother has got firefox downloaded so I might give it a try. I like Netscape though!

There is very little difference between Firefox and Netscape. They use the same rendering engine, but Firefox is more customizable (and so, personalisable) and more secure (Netscape is almost as bad as IE). Also Firefox doesn't have plugs to other AOL products, like AIM, which Netscape seems to be riddled with.

Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox all came from the same orginal browser design so the are just variants where people remove things or add things to their liking.

The "save as" exploit showed that the file being saved wasn't an image file (it was something like 'Funny Joke.gif.hta'), and the "exec" exploit didn't automatically download anything, although it DID pop up a download box that showed it was trying to download an executable. |
