Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 i vow to never use internet explorer and outlook express again. i am really tired pain in the butt they cause. firefox and thunderbird for now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseDog Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 i tried the browser, i really did. just found it too frustrating and un-intuitive to work with. i use one of the shells on top of ie, maxthon it's now called. easy and does what i ask, with no frustration. the thunderbird e-mail client, on the other hand, is brilliant. took me less than ten minutes to set up to work exactly as i want. will stick with this one, and keep an eye on firefox to see how it improves.

Iain Denby Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 For some reason IE has stolen the 'default' browser option. How do I make Firefox the default again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Denby Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I am using Thunderbird for the first time, and something weird is happening. I have it set to check for mail every 10 minutes. I get an alert to tell me I have a new email in my local folder...but I haven't...but if I manually check for mail, it then comes in and alerts me again! Is it letting me know when a message is on the server, and then again when I download it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Yep. I too discovered this feature last week. There's an option to download mail vs. checking the server. Go to "Accout Settings" under "Tools", "Server Settings", select "Automatically download new messages". I am using Thunderbird for the first time, and something weird is happening. I have it set to check for mail every 10 minutes. I get an alert to tell me I have a new email in my local folder...but I haven't...but if I manually check for mail, it then comes in and alerts me again!

Poco Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Found this on another forum, tried it and it worked a great (for me) so i thought i would post it here also. Page's are loading alot quicker then before. Worth the time doing it imho. 1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: (Double click on the entry to change values to true or 30) Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 nice article about how firefox came to be, who brought it there, and a little about where it is going... http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.02/firefox.html . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Denby Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Followed the instructions to make it faster a week or so ago. Strange, but since then pages were loading slower, with some images not loading at all. So I've just changed it back, and hey, it's fast again. What the F***.
