I'm tempted to go back to Opera for forum browsing. Tabbed browsing is just too good to miss when reading forums.

That sounds familiar, but it was a while ago since I last fooled around with FF, I'll have to check.

if you haven't reinstalled windows your settings from last time will still be there. You'll have to delete your profile which can be found in:

documents and settings > username > Application Data > Mozilla

If you delete that you'll be set to start fresh.

Interesting, there is no such file in Application Data folder, not for admin nor all users nor anywhere else...

Going to uninstall, reg clean, re-install and see what happens.

EDIT: Well it worked for everything but Dave's- I still see an emoticon instead of a quote button on all posts here. Confused Ahhh, re-loaded the page and all is well!

Uh, I realize I'm probably going to receive a virtual stoning by saying this, but I'm starting to hate Firefox... Now it won't load pages at times and I get an error "The document contains no data" WTF does that mean? At least with IE it sort of told me what was going on... I'll get FF's error message trying to navigate to a new page, or hitting the submit button on a post, and I'll think to myself 'hmmm, maybe my internet connection has dropped but FF doesn't give 404 error messages, but then I fire up IE to see if it works, and it does. Confused

Here's a way you can use any application in any pc bang. You need a Flash USB2.0 memory stick or a portable harddrive. Install firefox or any app onto the memory stick or harddrive, then just take it to any PcBang, plug it in, and presto your using firefox or whatever.

I personally use a harddrive that way I can also download stuff onto the harddrive using BT, and also I can have saved file from games and be able to continue on any pc with that game, or can have an entire game on there to o, so you can play it anywhere.

Hope you find this usefull.

Why do you take a hardrive to PC rooms? It kind of implies that you have a computer....why not use that for your downloads?

Also, isn't a game installation dependant upon many things? Like the SP version, graphics, RAM....do you re-configure everything?

I have do formats of my C:/ partition, all with the exact same hardware, and games wouldn't run without being formally installed complete with registry entriesfor hardware, drivers, etc... . I'm surprised it would run at all on the commonly medicore hardware of a PC room, especially since they really aren't the most up to date with all software needed.

I mean hey...they still use IE right? Razz
