Assunto: The Mozilla Foundation today released Firefox 0.10.1, which patches a security hole that was discovered this week.
Modificado por danoschek (7. Outubro 2004, 03:04:43)
Users can download a new build of Firefox, wait for the automatic update
to prompt you to upgrade, or install the XPI to upgrade it. Users are urged to
upgrade Firefox. The hole is not known to affect any other Mozilla applications.

Assunto: yahoo toolbar is better than google
my opinion too if you must use gates of chAos i.e. IE. :D
for germany the gmx toolbar should be first choice. Firefox Rulez tho ~*~

Have you tried the Yahoo toolbar, Niki?

4. Outubro 2004, 22:13:03
Niki 
Thankyou for all the info given :))
I did the google toolbar thing, but as suspected, I don't have 5.5 so didn't get the one bit I really wanted which was the popup blocker :-D
gonna give volant's suggestion a try :)

I said for the longest time that I did not want to change either. IE was what I have alwaysed used, I knew how to use all of it's features, etc.. etc...

Now you could not pull me away from Firefox. Pages load faster, don't have to worry about pop ups or active X viruses, etc...

... and if you don't like it, you could always unistall it. PLUS it will not "replace" your current browser, it will just add a second browser option. (I currently have 5 different browsers on my computer.)

FireFox is what I use all the time. Netscape is what my wife uses so when we visit the same sites, our cookies don't mess things us. IE I still use occasionally. Then a couple others which I mostly just use to make sure my websites I create look good in all browsers.

... and Firefox is free!

Id say anyone who loves IE as I do just get the Service Pack 2 for windowsXP as Backoff mentioned. WOW! no more pop ups!!! Plus lots of other goodies

4. Outubro 2004, 21:58:27

I'm not entirely sure I want to change my browser.. just want to stop the pop-ups, preferably for free :)

Firefox is the way to go. I'm a long time IE user, loved IE, tried Netscape, Opera, etc... always went back to IE.

Firefox is great - Almost eleminated all pop ups (All pop ups?), has a great tab feature so you don't have to open a lot of windows, and it actually loads pages faster!

    Backoff, yep, had a look at that having done a search through this board .. doesn't it only work if you have 5.5 ? not that I'm entirely sure what I DO have ?!? Is there a simple way of me knowing ?

    Also if you have windows XP and upgrade to SP2, the new I.E. has a built-in blocker. If you use a browser like Firefox! has a built in blocker as well!

    Adjustable Settings: Set the spending limit and expiration date for each new Virtual Account Number.


    Recurring Payment Option: You have the flexibility to use a Virtual Account Number once or to use a Virtual Account Number for recurring payments for up to two years.

    Help!!! I cannot play any of my games as all the images have disappeared off the page....frogs, country flags, which opponent is online, membership status (pawn, rook). I was online last night on my home computer and it was working fine, also from my work computer earlier today.
    I haven't loaded anything new onto my computer. I've tried CTRL F5, right clicked on an image /show picture and again nothing.
    What is happening???? Anyone??? :)))
    Thank you.

    WinZip has released version 9.0-SR1 to fix some security flaws. An additional
    benefit this version offers is - if a user double clicks an executable file in a zip
    archive, the user is prompted before the file is executed. Better safe than sorry.

    A couple times lately when trying to open a window i have been told that there are not enough system resources available. There were a couple things open one time and nothing else open another time. Restarting the puter fixed it both times but i got to wondering, is there any way to find out exactly what is running at a given moment.

    is the Hijackthis program. Originally developed to repair 'hijacked' InternetExplorers
    - i.e. when of sudden it starts with some weird pages instead of the chosen one ...
    meanwhile it became a full system against malware/trojans - settled somewhere
    'between' AdAware and Trojanscanner ... here the download site of Chip Magazine Germany
    but cnet and zdnet will have it too ... here you will find illustrated instructions of use, english -
    the free program creates a logfile that cAn be analyzed on this support site and, as nobody is able to know all the cryptic names of every legal process, they offer also a database of known processes - the program works without installations therefore may be started even directly from the zipfolder - good hunting :) ~*~
