I have been using it for the past two weeks and have noticed that web pages seem to load a little slower then they do in IE.

The information here is very useful, if you're on anything but dialup:

How To Speed Up Firefox (Helpful Vanity)

It works for both Firefox and Mozilla. Speeded up an old Mozilla build I'm using quite nicely.

how do you change the preferences so that a link opens in a new tab, rather than in a new window?

Hold the CTRL key then click a link.

Well, I did it twice.

BTW - Thunderbird rocks!

I used to use Netscape's.

I switched about 2 weeks ago, and haven't looked back since. But I wouldn't hesitate to switch back to Microsoft if they came up with something better.

I'm using OSX on a Mac, and Firefox is better than Safari, which is a pretty good browser. I also like Thunderbird, their email client. The Mozilla suite includes a pretty good basic html editor for when I don't feel like getting into the whole "Dreamweaver" thing.

Thanks. It worked. It's twice as fast as it was before. I'm on a 5000 kbps down cable modem and that tweak made a big difference. Thank you for your help.

[Wiggins]

Thank you also. It made a big difference.

the copy/paste function is not working.

It works for me, I even use the view selection source

to capture the HTML as I copy and paste for posting news articles....

If your mouse has a scroll wheel, click the scroll wheel once to open a highlighted link in a new tab; to kill any tab, place the cursor on the tab and click the scroll wheel once.

Very handy.

Ahhh!! Thanks!

I'm one of those new downloaders...last week switched (of course) from IE tired of the darn popups and having to ctrl click everything I viewed.
My only complaint so far with Firefox is that html is lost on my signature with yahoo mail...but I can live with that!
My kids like the Firefox too!
Thanks for the speed up tweak...works great!

[snarks_when_bored]

Should have pinged you for post #29.

[So Cal Rocket]

I even use the view selection source

In IE, I DL'd an extension to "view partial source"... and was hoping I'd find something similar in Firefox. Is this an extension you added?

[Publius6961]

Wonder how much longer before monolopist Micro$oft integrates IE into XP so that Mozilla's chances to compete will be 0.

Although that is high on the MS priority list, it is not likely to happen anytime soon, seeing that a federal court made them "unembed" IE to stop that hanky panky...

[Protagoras]

This is different than the Mozilla Browser I have dled?

[ShadowAce]

Just right-click the selection on the screen. One of the options is "View Partial Source."

[So Cal Rocket]

Sweet! Thanks!

The adblock extension has to be the coolest feature on the browser. Now I don't have to see the annoying adds when reading Fox News.

[JoJo Gunn]

I don't know if this will work with signatures, but it gives you back some of the editing functions in Yahoo and Hotmail, (though no smilies).

Try this one instead. It's the newest, fixes a bug in Yahoo spellcheck.
