so as i posted a bit ago my laptop took a major dump- fried everything but the Hard Drive- new computer came yesterday afternoon- spent the next few hours 'cleaning' it and loading up my schitt & pulling all my docs, music and photos off the external case-
the beast: Dell XPS 710 2.44ghz Intel C2D, XP pro, 4GB ram@ 667mhz, nvidia 7900GS 256mb, Soundblaster X-Fi, 250 GB SATA 7200 rpm....

now, obviously nixed explorer immediately in favor of firefox again, but everytime i close the window, and open a new one up its turning off the pop-up blocker... WTH?? its already getting annoying having to go into the tools and turn the blocker on every time i open up firefox. anyone know how to fix this so it defaults to "on"?

thanks -
Justin

 

hmm i wish i could help you more i use Opera the most. but mine always stays on, did you change it in the content tab?

 

Strange...FF has the pop-up blocker enabled by default

 

exactly!!- its like i downloaded a ghetto version, and default is off-
yea 06- im clicking it from the contents tab- thats the only place i know of that has the option...

 

hmm well maybe try uninstalling it and installing Opera lol or FireFox, hell i use both

 

Opera is king.

 

i'll have to go dl it- is opera as much of a resource hog as moz & ie?

 

If left open all day it can be. I'm on my 7th hour of having Opera open, 9 tabs at the moment and a total of 21 tabs used over the course of the day, with Opera consuming 82MB of memory. In contrast, I have only one IE window open for the day and it's eating up 30MB by itself...

 

ya its no where near as bad as IE i mean i leave it open all the time and run all my programms like CS2, Dreamweazer, Flash 8, & Fireworks all at the same time and my computer runs fine and i only have a gig of ram, you will be fine with that XPS!

 

okay- ive got Opera now- is there a way to get my bookmarks to show on the side, or is it always a pull-down? in the process of re-logging all my passwords...

 

Press F4, the panel is your friend.

 

or you could just click as far left and it will pop up

 

Have you ever told an end user to just 'click' or 'click and drag there'.

 

yep lol

 

I just downloaded Opera too, kind of liking it....

Really like that full screen mode (F11) is actually a full screen.

Now how do I reorganize my bookmarks? It's kept the folders but not the order and I cant figure out how to change the order. My favorite **** sites are now all scrambeled together and I have to search for my favorite ones out of my favorites. This will greatly increase spank time!!!!!
