Original problem: > Clicking the x (upper right hand corner of title bar), my > Firefox takes 5 seconds to close. Same thing happens when double-clicking the FF logo in upper left hand corner of title bar. When closing it by File > Exit, the closing is immediate. Closing IE or any other window, there is no problem. What's wrong with my FF title bar? --- Harold
Clint says: > Speaking of Sun Java (which is that folder you mention), make sure you have the very latest version since a security problem was just discovered with it. It's fixed in the latest release. Remember that every time you use the Google plugin from the toolbar, they are tracking your every move with their unique cookie. > You don't miss the Windows Taskbar in full screen mode? Not the status bar, but the TASKbar. In FS mode in IE, you hover the Taskbar and it shows. In FF, it's just plain GONE and the only way to see your address bar at bottom and get to your open apps, etc., is to leave FS mode. That's the main reason why I didn't switch to FF. Also, the highlight function is rather ridiculous. I use this in IE all the time to mark VARIOUS MULTIPLE areas of a webpage. In FF, you can only mark ONE SENTENCE. I love the way it will mark all similar words, but only allowing the highlighting of one tiny area at a time, is bad for my use. - -Clint Response --- Clint (and Peter who is trying this FF on his Windows 98), I will install that updated Java you mentioned. I see that problem with full screen mode but I never use it; real estate is too expensive in NYC to be chopping off parts of windows. I did add that highlight function (it's called Auto Copy and it copies whatever is highlighted immediately to the clipboard) and I agree, it's cute, maybe ridiculous in that it what (saves two clicks?). Not true what you say about "one sentence" - highlighting multiple paragraphs, they all immediately appear on the clipboard (I'm sure you mean multiple copying, something like Textclip, where you can then retrieve anything you copied "when needed"). That would be a good extension; so would a browser that takes the garbage out. I also notice that FF does have a page for recommended extensions (and I don't want to get hung up on extensions). However, this brings me back to my original question where I'm not chopping off anything; just renovating (which is what extensions really do), "Why the shut down lag when using either side of the title bar?" --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
