No, it wasn't Auto Copy but "Highlighter" or something like 
that.  I think the xpi file is called contexthighlight.xpi .

I don't know why you have the lag when shutting it down.  Like 
I mentioned, I had it while STARTING it.  It goes back to what 
I've been saying that it's just not ready for release.  There's 
too many odd things happening with it.  It behaves totally 
differently on different PC's.

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

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
