Hi ByTe~
Just a word of warning, if you use Google maps, it doesn't recognise this release properly. For example, the satellite images don't work.
;)
Weird. Works fine for me (FF 3.0.11). Perhaps there's a plugin you have that might be interfering?

Thanks MsM, I will look into that. I don't use the satellite imagery very much, and it certainly worked a few months ago. When I tried last (with 3.0.11) it didn't even show the option, rather than it being there and not working.Quote:

I flipped over to IE8 and it worked just fine.
EDIT:
Silly me! I had to re-authorise Google UK, so it must have been a noscript related problem :dunce:
Here we go again ... browser wars. I am finding FF to be the most stable atm.
SAY IT AIN'T so :(Quote:

Yeah, just as long as you overlook those changes in recent releases. And the fact that everything they've used to advertise the browser back in 2004 now carries a sarcastic overtone.Quote:

Don't forget that blond brit girl who was walking up to people asking them if they used Firefox or not and how bad IE was because of security and or bloat. It's funnier that way ;)Quote:

Gawd, not browser wars again. Weren't we waging this fight 4 or 5 years ago?
I remember when you didn't need a browser. It was all rendered in ink and paper. :(
FWIW, the centerfold was blonde more often than not. :)
I use IE 8 because it's the only mature browser these days - it works with everything, and everything works with it. All the other ones are compromising. Chrome is fast, but that's the only thing it's got going for it... FF is just a piece of crap these days...
Opera, Galean, Icedove? Jeez... I don't like having to compromise...
Compromise?
Yes, compromise - usually related to speed/features/stability/interoperability.
That was why I started using Opera over Firefox to begin with.Quote:

It has a Built in Mail client you can set up, or not set up, it'll leave you alone about it if you choose not to, it has Themes to make it look like whatever you want, I've tested it on a Laptop with XP and all updates installed, and it starts up faster than IE 8 does every time, the Tabs can be custom, and you can even open pop ups inside Opera in...I don't know how to put this, but it's a lot like the Programming tools you can use where everything i inside the master Application, and certain bigger tools open under it in a tab or, as full screen but still inside it... Not sure if that makes sense, but you can do something like that too.Quote:

Learn to use Wand. It's easier to store passwords and usernames. I don't know how you evaluate compared to me, but I always open the configuration / Preferences and check every setting myself to see what else it can do.
Your machine, I think has Vista. I don't know how much faster IE8 would be there, but as I said, Opera Always opened and was ready to use a little faster. And more than 5 X faster than Firefox.
EDIT:
I can't compare anything to Chrome because I don't use it. So you're on your own there.
The only issue i found with it, is that i had to spend roughly 24minutes:fpissed:, pulling me addons apart and upping the max version in the .xpi
Other then that it still suffers memleak when left open for long periods of time with/without multiple tabs open. :(
that's been true of pretty much every version.
Gore > I don't really care about a built-in mail client... definitely don't care about theming a browser... I'm assuming Wand is some Opera password-saving tool and not what I think it is... To that, I say RoboForm! One of the only pieces of software (other than operating systems and productivity suites) I LOVE to pay for.
Wand is Opera's password saving utility. When I log on here, I click on the icon, and it pops in my username and password for me. But it's beat because if you have a Mic hooked up, you can configure it with the preferences menu to accept voice commands, and say "Log in" and it logs you in. It also can refresh and do other stuff with the mic too.Quote:

Opera has really nice Widgets that are actually useful too. For example, you can "get more widgets" and grab stuff that will check your machine for unpatched problems, or you can get one that is an HTML web page creation thing, and they have password generators, games.... There are a lot. And they run inside Opera. Even some nice download tools, like the YoutubeDL which will download videos for you from Youtube, Google, and others.
And there are sticky notes, and.. Just look at them, it'll be easier than me typing all this out. There a LOT of useful widgets that most people would probably find a use for. The email client was brought up for a reason:
If you don't want to use it, you don't and that's it. It won't nag you that you aren't using it. And it won't steal your settings which is nice too. (Ahem firefox).
Been beta testing FF for a few years now. Each new release seems to get better and better, and imho 3.0.11 wallops the crap out of IE8. Only issue I've got with FF is that the addon updates couldn't keep up with the browser updates for awhile - but I suppose that's to be expected when beta testing.
