You wrote: Someone mentioned that the Firefox scripts are not enabled for 3.0? Is FS aware of this? What did these scripts do? I am just getting started with Firefox 3, but I have problems with tab browsing and downloads. I don't always get any feedback when opening a new tab when using Control Enter or Control Shift Enter on a link or download link. Sometimes it did the action and I am not aware of it and sometimes it did nothing. Very frustrating! Also, I got used to closing a single tab or entire window in IE 7 with Control F4. This is very consistent. This doesn't work in Firefox 3. Would this be a Firefox issue or a FS issue? Don Marang ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erin B.
