Hey PC i installed that tweak extension, it speeded up my page load times considerably (im on cable)

i score this browser 99.9% that elusive .01% is FIX THE SCROLLING!!..lol other than that i have made the switch.

Disk cleanup does not see the FireFox cache. You can download the X extension, and use that to clean the FF cache, or you can clear it periodically from the Options panel. You can also set the size of the FF cache in the Options panel. Personally, I set the FF cache at 100mb and find that quite sufficient. BTW, the X extension also cleans the history, cookies, etc.

The Toolbar Enhancements extension also gives you a "clear cache" button to put in your toolbar if you like.

I updated the Stop/Reload extension if anybody wants it. It combines the stop and reload buttons into one button that automatically becomes whatever is needed. (It never has to be both at once, right?) Let me know if it doesn't work.

I did not download and install your version yet. However I downloaded and attempted to install the one from the developer Caio Chassot at http://v2studio.com/k/moz/

However when I attempt to install that version it says that that version cannot be installed because it is incompatible with Firefox 1.0.

So, my question is: what makes your file different from the "original"

I updated it to work with the new release by using PCBruiser's guide found here:

Modifying Extensions in FireFox/Mozilla/Thunderbird to work in new versions

Basically it doesn't work with the new version because there is a line in the .rtf file that tells it not to. I just changed that line to include the new version. Works fine so far.

Somehow you got to the Japanese version of the site. Try this link:

Installed FX 1.0 but Java opens up frequently even though Im
surfing a web page where there is none.

Anyone else getting this?

fototime

After installing 1.0 also getting this message from ZA:

The firewall has blocked Internet access to www.fototime.com (69.56.148.140) (ICMP Time Exceeded) from your computer.

Fototime?

Could this be related to FX 1.0?

Never had this block by ZA before.
