Not an extension, i think it is built directly in.... it is not 100% for some reason...but most of the time it works.

If it wasn't for this stubborn bank Website I have to go to now and again, I would have removed IE from my system completely.

I am in exactly the same situation. I'm physically repulsed when I'm forced to see that IE virus-transporter crap appear onscreen. Can't wait to see it gone for good.

It also works in IE, but it opens a new browser window.

IE virus-transporter crap

That is why I switched completely to Linux and Firefox.....

I've never even used IE, except for those sites that forced it to open. Have been a Netscape user for years and years, but switched to Firefox within 10 minutes of installing it.

A great leap forward.

It loads slowly, but it works well. I've only run into a couple of pages it wouldn't run. It is a great solution for those who don't have XP service pack 2.

Does anybody know how to make it open the page source in Notepad?

One annoying thing I have found is that although alt-left goes back to the previous page, it resets the active link to the top of the page.

Anybody know how to make it go back but keep the active link?

Have you tried the User Agent Switcher 0.6.1 extension? You can use it to report Firefox as IE to those annoying sites.

Haven't heard of it, nor tried it - but now I probably will. Thanks a lot!

I wondered what that was....

Firefox now has the secret decoder ring.....

Besides ctrl-click, clicking with the mouse wheel also opens a link in a new tab.

Also, see this, and DO IT! if you're on a high-speed connection:

View selected source does not open the page for editing. It only displays the page and must be cut and pasted into Notepad.

I use the view source command for small edits to my pages. It's handy to have it open in Notepad.

Question:

How can you get Firefox to open up a new tab with the SAME window as what you are viewing in the other window.

IE does this automatically when you create a new window, but Firefox just will make a blank window.

Why get it from those sources? I use Kazaalite and Ares, but for downloading South Park/Seinfeld eps, etc. Not for free software programs.

There was a thread here yesterday about how to fix the speed issue (which I never really had.....mine runs faster than IE).

But, it has definitely helped speed it up even more. I will see if I can find it.

Got to love all the neat extensions with Firefox, as well as the skins you can have.
