why is everyone so excited with the [x] on each tab? if u have a scroll mouse u can just click teh scroll on which ever tab u want to clsoe and it closes. its works teh same with links, if u want to open a new link in a new tab simple middle click on the link. thats how i've always done it, the new [x]s on each tab irritates me. i liked it when it was simple and uncluttered.

I am not fond of changing things. I go by the principle: "If it works, don't change." The only problem I have with my FireFox is that it takes too long to load. Is this problem fixed in version 2.0? Because if it isn't, I won't be upgrading any time soon.

2. Faster Than Firefox! - check this out! (24)

   I have stopped using firefox a month ago because it lags or hangs my system and eats soo many
   resources... so I have decided to use opera (the beta version) it's fast but it renders a little

4. Firefox 2 To Firefox 3 - Is It Worth Upgrading? - Let's settle this matter once and for all. (64)

   I was only recently made aware of the release of Firefox 3, having not been notified by Firefox, and
   problems with my internet connection that caused Trap17 and similar websites to slow to snails-pace,
   so I ended up missing the download day and haven't got it yet. The thing is though, I've
   been hearing a lot of negative press about it. I know that there was concern that Firefox would
   break Flash support a while ago, which was fixed, and I hear it's kind of restrictive as to
   downloading addons and junk. Now, I did actually test Firefox 3 Beta 5, and my only ...

5. Ie8 Beta Launch Imminent - Internet explorer to be released in the near future (3)

   M icrosoft has outlined some of the improvements it has made to the reliability of Internet
   Explorer 8 prior to the release of the second beta version, pencilled in for the second hald of
   august. The browser's performance and recovery have been two areas of focus according to
   microsoft. The company said that a great deal of work has gone into making sure IE8 is more robust
   in these areas. "Most users want their browser to work, recover smoothly after a crash, and display
   the web correctly. Users are not as concerned with what causes the problem, whether that be ...

6. Firefox 3 - (24)

   http://people.mozilla.com/~beltzner/overview-of-firefox3.swf I saw this a few days ago but it
   recently popped up on Digg. Thought it was a cool look at Firefox 3. The new address bar seems to
   be the biggest addition to Firefox 3 and honestly I hate it with a passion. I use Firefox 2 on my
   windows system, but both work and my roomates computer ( which I use more then she does. >. First I
   don't want my porn history randomly popping up while I'm searching for "big" trucks or
   something ridiculous like that. Also it's kind of intrusive as it just seems out o...

7. Dropbox - closed beta - Sign up (1)

   This is one of the coolest new things I've come across in a long time. Go to getdropbox.com
   and watch the video that is included. It has a pretty descriptive narrative. Basically what this
   software does is allow basically allows you to maintain a folder that is accessable from any
   computer. Simmilar to how you can just upload a file to a website and re access it from anywhere
   else. This gives it a very attractive UI and also makes it pretty simple so the not so tech savvy
   parents will be able to easily upload pictures and files to you. Supposedly the tech...

   mean is shows a blank page) It will show up in safari (I'm a mac user), all pages individually
   work on firefox, just not the above page. Any ideas as to why? Thanks...

    If you are using broadband connection and using Firefox then follow the simple steps provided below

11. Windows Vista Beta Available? - There is one going around (60)

    I have heard and that there is a Windows Vista Beta version going around. I have been to a torrent
    site and found few there. But I’m not going to download it because i'm guessing it is illegal.
    Do any of you here have Windows Vista Beta? If you do what are the system requirements for it to
    run. And i have heard there are few versions of this beta, one without the graphical 3D software
    (decreasing system requirements), and one with it. Is this true?...

12. Ie 7 Beta 3 - (18)

    Well as I was updating and reinstalling everything on my computerm i came across microsoft ie7
    browser since i was going to update it anyways and notice that beta 3 was out all i can say its more
    stabled and alot faster i think also the interface is a bit more organized as well. They brought
    down some of the icons to the tab bar so the the menu options are not taking up a huge amount of
    space up top. but other then that it's comign along nicely i think being somewhat updated and
    with a cleaner look as well....

13. Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 - (6)

    So has anyone downloaded and tried this yet?
    http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/be...en/default.mspx It's the entire suite for free
    and it's really cool. It's such a huge difference from the Office 2000 I've been using
    for years. It's a big 450 mb download but I think it's worth it. You have to log in to
    download it but all you need is a hotmail account and you don't even need to give them legit
    info or anything. I just put in garbledy gook for all fields besides email. The installer is fairly
    smart and will remove previous versions...

15. Yahoo Mail Beta - New Look for Yahoo Mail (38)

    hi friends, Yahoo is supposedly testing its new interface for Yahoo Mail. It looks more like MS
    Outlook with the folders etc in a left pane, the mail box on the top half of the right and preview
    on the bottom. Also a tabbed view if multiple mails are open. Just like Lotus Notes for those who
    have used it. http://patcavit.com/2005/09/14/y-mail-beta-impressions/

17. Skyos Beta 8.5 Better But Still Very Beta - An alternative OS+GUI, a bit like BeOS (0)

    Mostly for entertainment and to see whether Robert Szeleney (one-man shop) has made much progress on
    it, I downloaded and installed SkyOS 5 beta 8.5 on my main basement x86, an eMachines T2958 with
    add-in NVidia. I had tried 8.4 but had some issues. Fewer issues in 8.5. This is way-alternative,
    far left (or right, rather) of Linux. For an early beta it's pretty slick. Looks and works a
    bit like BeOS, but more current and with a custom GUI dev system (SkyGI) that beats the heck out of
    X, IMHO. Sky recognized most of my hardware without trouble except no sound. The pa...
