Considering that half my office converted to FireFox and my design teams are furiously redesigning sites at the moment, that e-mail may help.

Firefox is nice - anyone know why every new page I open defaults to the largest text setting?

Check your about:config settings and have a look here -

Is there a way to set firefox to always open a tab, and never open a new window?

 

[arf9999]

Download tabbrowser preferences extension. Install, restart firefox.

Then go Tools> Options> Tabbed Browsing
Select open links in Tab etc.

Aaah thanks for the missing piece of the puzzle

hey RPM, do you have the stats broken down into OS?

 

[mikkelz_za]

Poor IE users..

 

[bwana]

I wonder what Safari registers as. Presumably its in the unreported 7.1%.
