Sibling post: It's a bit late to not add/. to the mix. I had never heard of Abe Vigoda until the Parent, then clicked. The ff.php is presumably sent to anyone with a Firefox browser string?
Parent: Who/what is Abe? Sorry to say I have never heard of him.
I recently changed to an SE T630. The sound quality whupped the Nokia straight out, and the BlueTooth was far superior. My Nokia 6600 is now basically a camera and storage device, with the memory card.
On the downside, the T630 has a smaller screen and doesn't support many formats.
The next one I go for will probably be a 900i or something.
Wouldn't it be better if they could then rip out the IE bits that are already there and replace them with the Gecko bits, so we don't have to suffer even longer loading times with XP?
When cleaning a PC I tend to use Spybot, AdAware, Startup.exe (don't know where this comes from) and Hijack this.
I'm sure if you have a read through the rest of the comments you will find some other useful stuff, but these four are golden. Especially if you have a legit copy of AdAware Pro with AdWatch in.
AdWatch can cause confusion for (l)users, being another box that pops up for them to think about, but on your system it is the canine's testicles.
* Note:
There is a huge collection of Spyware tools hosted @ MajorGeeks.com, where I downloaded AdAware from.
Firefox Extensions is the place for you. I'm presuming you have actually noticed that middle-clicking links makes them open in tabs instead of their requested target?
There are many more extensions there, so have a cruise round sometime and see what is on offer. Some of them, like AdBlock and FlashClick make browsing the web such a nice experience.
A dark spot that blanks out FOG LIGHTS would be an incredible boon to UK drivers.
Very rarely do we get conditions bad enough on the roads to necessitate the use of these high-intensity red lights on the back of our cars, but every time there is even a light mist the useless !"£"%$£$ers just flip the switch and blind those of us who have to sit behind them.
Some of us are professional drivers, some of use have to drive for 8 hours a day. Some of us could be classed as "dangerous" if we have to stare at those !"££"$%"ing things until our eyes just closed of their own accord, or got so tired that they glassed over and we had to make a determined effort to carry on trying to pick out the tiny difference between the fogs and the brakes.

That's a good point, if it wasn't an inside job, wouldn't they have fixed it already?
There is no such thing as "Bad Publicity" and if someone tries to get the advert changed or banned because it is misleading or untrue, it can only help that it is proven to be faster at rendering than IE, can't it?
Fancy a whole story dedicated to Firefox, rather than just an easily ignored commercial? I do.
People that spend $200 on a pair of shades obviously don't have any money left over for toothbrushes. The guy in the other shot has a load of gold colored metal in his molars too.
I would be ashamed if I neglected my teeth to that extent.
FM broadcasts are horrible when compared to the AAC streams from XM
This may be true, but they are also the next best thing to legal. They don't have any DRM and they are easily listenable in portable MP3 players and on phones with music capability.
This product could totally kill the RIAA by flooding the net with legally (or almost) recorded music that the average listener will be happy with.
The thing that worries me is that DAB will have a DRM broadcast flag in it and that the RIAA will (economically) insist on all AM/FM radio stations switching over to Digital to stop radio recording.

Intellitext pisses me off a LOT.
Trawling through the source of a page to find the URL can be a pain sometimes though.
A plugin to disable this would be a really nice idea.
I was having my car fixed last week and used the free internet access available to fill the time.
As they only had IE on the machine (the only icon on the start menu) I had to use it.
I went to Wired.com and was amazingly pissed to see this stupid great PDA appear over the text I was reading.
It had an "X" to make it go away, but I came home and kissed the AdBlock text in my Firefox status bar as soon I could.
Yea but we've all thought about it...
I don't get the joke.
What is humourous about going to a reservation and shooting Red Indians?
I'm a Brit, so maybe that is what makes me miss the joke. Who knows?
Ssssshhh
You don't want the RIAA to know this, do you?
This was Napster's way of showing their arse to the RIAA by doing exactly what the RIAA asked of them and still giving away free music.

Pay-what? I thought people who used OSS didn't pay for anything?

Please say the word "Ha" twice after reading this post.

The two things you asked for are:
1) Tab Links (possibly Single Window, but this may be overkill).
2) Session Saver.

Doesn't that mean that I would quite fancy a Starbucks' White Chocolate Mocha?
Wasn't Starbuck's original expletive "felgacarb" "phelgakarb" or something?

14:00 GMT and it is still defaced.
Or we could call ourselves I/We/Gaia and have done with all this distrust and computer nonsense.
This is an Asimov reference from reading he/she/it.

All the Ad needs is a "Take back the web" picture and some writing underneath saying "Safer and faster than Internet Explorer" then the URL.
Screw the politics, stick to the facts.

Check out the teeth on the guys in the pictures on the Oakley site.
Are bad (metal filled) teeth in fashion these days?
If you're going to call someone an idiot, at least spell your insult correctly.
The problem you pointed out is not a spelling mistake, it is a grammatical error.
If you're going to try and belittle someone on their words, be careful of your petard, you may become irretrievably hoisted upon it.

Google is the name for god on the lips and hearts of all geeks.
I know this is a famous quote from somewhere else, but I remember it best from The Crow.

Wouldn't it be nice if Google had a GPS fix on you from your CellPhone, and sent back something like:
"Turn right at the end of the road, second left and there is a burger joint on the right"
Mind you, that would probably qualify as an invasion of privacy with most people, no matter how useful the feature was.
I can't can't believe you managed to slip a rimshot in at the end there you dirty bugger!
Why, how long do you wait before making a rimshot?
Foreplay is everything.
