Unless I'm missing something somewhere, I'd like to see a Bookmark/Favorites system like the one in MSIE. I like to use my browser in full screen mode and hide the menu bars. In MSIE You can have the hidden Bookmark/Favorites list slide out from the left and I don't have to go up and click Bookmarks. I can just move my cursor over and slide out that list. Fast and easy. Like I said, am I missing something in Firefox? Any answer...Bueller...Bueller...?


Type Ctrl+B

Thanks! Now if it could only hide like it does in IE. But this is better than before.

Just as easy : Type Ctrl+B again. It's a toggle.

Firefox gives you more control - I think it's worth it for the AD-Block plugin alone - be sure to get it (unless you like ads of course!).

Tabbed browsing is another great option - you can get it with IE but you need to install MSN desktop search. I've done that, but it's nowhere near as fast as the Google desktop search option.

I have to use IE for one particular site - if not for that, it'd be Firefox all the way.

If a site demands that I use Indecent Exposure to view it, then I have no need to be on that site. I will NOT use Internet Explosion for any reason whatsoever.... (-:< >:-)

I've never seen a Vulcan look 'guilty' before, but I guess that is as close as you would get to it. :-)

I use FF exclusively, unless I have to do the Whendoes Update, which requires IE. Which webcam did you cover? We can see the one with the old sock covering it, but there are others ;-) It's hard to distinguish a blush at times under infrared or Starscope...

Remember the black helicopters? ;-)

Why do you have to use Internet Explosion to do a Whineblows update? I don't. |-:<

I do a scan, every time I get home and the only webcam I have found is the one on my monitor. >;-)

We have a maroon and gold helicopter at work, an MD530, manufactured by McDonald Douglas. Does that count? Oh, one of our customers has a black Bell Ranger III. That one works, huh? (-:< >:-)

Hmmm, I've HAD to use IE to do that, but maybe I missed something.

Umm, Yes, you know about that cam, but the other ones? (Quit playing with your pointy ears) ;-)
