Fototime?

Could this be related to FX 1.0?

Never had this block by ZA before.

That has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with FireFox. That's something either resident on your system or you picked up earlier. FireFox has no viruses, no spyware, no directed sites, no BHOs. It is absolutely without any of that garbage.

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.

a newer version is available for download of easyGestures. Visit Homepage!
a newer version is available for download of Noia 2.0 Extreme. Visit Homepage!
Image show-and-hide download is wrong (is shows Image Zoom). So, you have to google to find the developer of the show-and-hide extension yourself.

For all of you that use Dictionary search. An extension that I find very helpful- they have officially released .70 version which is compatible with FF 1.0. Here's the linky to the xpi.

Here's is a pic of what it does.

Here is the home page.

Thanks SupDawg: I've been waiting for that update.

**k0NG0** · 11-15-2004, 11:42 AM

Nice, and the Extension update worked like a charm retrieving and installing the new DictionarySearch version (I had v0.6.3 before).

SupDawg · 11-15-2004, 03:58 PM

Also, I would like to add, that the spell checker that was suggested earlier now works in the WYSIWYG editor!

c_white_wolf · 11-15-2004, 09:44 PM

Spoofstick is now available for FF 1.0

I've been checking the Extensions Mirror and using it to go to the FF Extension Author's homepage.

Compact Menu. Turns your main menu bar into a drop down menu leaving room to add other options. (A little slow to respond but it does work. Left click helps it work quicker. NOTE: See the bug check)

c_white_wolf, that is a terrific site!

I did a quick search for this question but came up dry. The question I have is regarding the bookmarks toolbar. Is it possible to add a second booksmarks toolbar directly beneath the standard one?

PCBruiser · 11-17-2004, 04:56 PM

AFAIK, no. But what you CAN do, because I just tested it, is put folders in that toolbar, and new bookmarks in those folders.

Cobra_abx · 11-17-2004, 05:02 PM

Thanks PCB. I was aware of the folder feature but I would prefer another toolbar

Qba73 · 11-17-2004, 05:04 PM

anyone know why downloads are slower in firefox. i tried 2 files from the same site both 4.5 mb and firefox took considerably longer in downloading the file than ie did.

PCBruiser · 11-17-2004, 05:10 PM

Cobra, try that Extensions Mirror site. They have a lot of extensions that are not on the official Mozilla site.
