Revving the fox

[Kalvaer]

Is your IE set up for a proxy like dsl-cache.saix.net? If you add this to FF, then youtube works - dont think this is actually a FF issue - think it's SAIX & their transparent proxy at the far end of your connection.

I just use foxyproxy add on to switch it on or off as required- nice and fast.

Thanks for the shift click.. and I believe you are right.. I never thought of adding the proxy info to FF

..and poor, braindead IE just falls further and further behind...

...but I don't care, prefer firefox

Hey thanks so much for that. One of my reason for hating FF was the way it loaded pages so badly compared to IE. Even though I use FF at home, i'll give it a try here at work as well now

Most webmasters have improved their pages recently. But for the few idiots who haven't... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1429

It just adds a simple right click menu item that opens the page in your IE browser (I find the IE Tab extension overkill).

I agree kifoth - and the IE tab isn't 100% compatible either.

It's even easier to just click with middle-button (the scroll-wheel) on your mouse, to open a link in a new tab

My favorite way as well...

I see that no one mentioned that if you want to close a tab (any tab not necassarily the on you have open) just middle-click (scroll button) on the tab to close it.

Using Ctrl+L to go to the location bar... there is a much easier way. Pressing F6 does the job in a key less....

One of the most helpful apps for me is "Split Browser", allowing you to split your browser vertically, horizontally, open tabs within the different splits etc.
Works really nicely on large monitors
