I have been using firefox for about 2-3 years now and I know its quirks and that it is very stable, trust me I push it! Just don't ask about greasemonkey or things like that. I am now down to 40 addons approx. I recommend it and this addon (ADD-on lol) Lazarus form recovery 2.0.4 Another nice reminder of why firefox has great potential (once I learn to stop working with about 85 tabs and memory consumption up to a collossal 1.3GB (yes, just for da firefox!!!!!)) LAZARUS BLURB! Never lose anything you type into a web form again! Lazarus securely auto-saves all forms as you type, so after a crash, server timeout, or whatever, you can go back to the form, right click, "recover form", and breath a sigh of relief Links below, no excuse. www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6984I tested it as well and it works nice with the right mouse button context menu. There might be an equivalent for Internet explorer, chrome etc.....

i love firefox, havnt used IE for so long now i cant remember why i like firefox better ive customised it so ive got multi coloured tabs, a pic of my son where the address bar, google bar ect is. i like the addons too andy, the latest is a timer on the bottom to tell me how long ive been on here, it doesnt make me want to get off tho i just want to beat the previous days time! ill have to try this form thingy ;D there is the most stupidest fly ever, flying from one side of the room to the other hitting the wall, falling on the floor, flying to the other side hitting the mirror falling to the floor, flying back, over and over again. its been doing it for at least an hour, im just sat laughing at it like a loon, while trying to type ;D

Screencap is very easy to take.
Press PRTscn once and it copy exactly what you see on your screen .
Keyboard layout simulator v 0.234343 beta alpha gamma tocopherol
...........................[PRTscn]...[scrlk]...[pause] [<Backspace].........[Insert]....[Home]..[PageUp]
Now, you do have an image program don't you?
Start>run>mspaint
Then Editmenu> paste......ding!
HAve fun with the cookie cutters.... :/
Of course, there are tons of other programs inc irfanview, gimp, etc.
Save as bitmap whilst manipulating, then save as jpeg when you have done your final .errrrrr..masterpiece.....

hahahah.
I altered my registry entries a bit and now I can run firefox with 130 tabs...........
Can you imagine 130 tabs..............it's like a lamb to the slaughter.
As a person who can manage about no more than 2 tabs, I am surprised why I spent hours looking for registry altering details to make xp pro survive the firefox torment when I should have spent my hours whittling and actually reading those damn tabs and getting them down to about 10.......
Drives me MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

yep i have a very bad habit....worst habit is following links in links....
Daily mail news..........or telegraph.
1 story leads to another, so I middle click one link's list stories. viola 8 tabs. Dont read them all, but read half 4 tabs with perhaps 1 more link each.
Read about adhd argh thats the worst followed by hormones etc. Circadian rythm (not read it properly after er 4 days) and so on....eventually I get tired, and then leave those tabs, open new ones....blah blah. OBviously, the more complex the tab material, the more chance of me not reading it.....very silly

Post by laura on Sept 18, 2009 9:31:39 GMT
;D ooohh links on links
i just have to read them, some of the stories look more intersting but then as you say i find a link on a link on a link, its a neverending loop so i just end up with loads of tabs with half read articles

Yes, you both understand very well it seems..................
Bumping this for people who missed the initial form recovery helper. Maybe Internet explorer has it, but I am a firefox nutter, so you'll have to check for extensions/widgets to internet explorer yourself..... (naughty me!!)

Dont read them all, but read half 4 tabs with perhaps 1 more link each. I have this habit and somtimes end up with about 30 tabs (alarm bells ring at that point). The way I prevent this is as follows - Dont follow every link, but bookmark it to come back later. Maybe when you come back it will be less interesting (saving a distraction)
- I use tabs open relativeadd-on so I can see the build up of similar tabs and close them.
Nmm - I had caps lock on so I typed ADD-ON

I use "too many tabs" to unload tabs into a "later access" area (just above the normal tab row..groan) I also just set "tab mix plus" to open tabs next to each other, although really learning tab control rules might be far better in the long run......
