So I just switched to Firefox from IE7

Some additional ideas here...

sweet, I like that tiny menu!

remember that the each add on takes more resources . I use to have tons and it just slows stuff down. I try to only keep ones I use often. Keeping your windows services under 20 helps tons too.

 

A big favorite of mine for reading multiple posts, comparing charts on different pages , or just skimming over the recent posts while remaining on the home page.

Add-on - Cooliris

 

I ran coolris for awhile but I thought it was a huge resource hog.
Maybe I should reinstall it though and give it another try.

 

I am trying to match the look of IE.

Attached an example.

 

you mean the font?

just experiment with the FF font choices?


tools>>options>>fonts and colors


it will never look just lie IE.

 

My only beef with FireFox is that it doe not show certain characters on some web sites, ET included. What do you see in the lower right side of these posts? I see this:

Edit/Delete � Quote � Complain

Note the question marks. In IE I see a bullet character. FireFox shows question marks no matter what character encoding I choose. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm on Windows XP.

 

Looks good from my end. I see the bullets

 

I gots bullets.

what is your encoding set at?
view>>character encoding

 

Thank, I guess there is something bogus with my machine. I'll try the FireFox site.
