    The only modern browser that is stealing the idea of at least 4 old tabbed browser prior it was "rediscovered"

    Of course Firefox is the hacker's favorite thanks to its moder addons to steal other's content.

    Talking about "themes" posted above I would select the Classy IE because that in the middle seems proper for "The Misfits" :rolleyes:

    IE is by far the worst. no alpha PNG support (especially for repeating bgs where there is NO solution) - many, many hacks have to be used to make IE do what its damn well meant to in the first place (height:1%, width:100%, display:inline - the list goes on, and on, and on)

    After reading the full thread I can see the OP complaining because your opinion about the kiddies' browser won't help :rolleyes:

    Yupsi, I need to know how to get rid of the annoyances and make pretty the ugly Firefox interface, not DP'ers romance facts :O

    Besides I have another question, whenever I try to click on a link with the right click of the mouse, the contextual menu says at the very top "open in a new window" and in second place "open in a new tab"

    I need to open new tabs, not new windows so the new question is, how can I make the contextual menu display at the top "open in a new tab" instead of being the second option?

    Answers to resolve those issues, plus your pending assignments, not your personal FF love story, s'il vous plaît :)

    Well I use FF mainly because it has sooo many good plugins that I use to save me time and effort at marketing my sites. I like the adblock and flash disabling plugins too. If IE had so many third party plugins I might switch. I've been on FF since it was still called FireBird :)

    You're very welcome. I'm just glad I was able to show you why Firefox is one of the best browsers out there with all its customization options. If you are ever looking for something, you can always look through the addons website (Tools > Addons > Get More Addons > Browse All Addons) for what you need or just google a problem. That's how I got the links for you.

    I haven't been limited from anything with FF and if you are they have modifications for everything you need.
