We appreciate your concern.
It is noted and stupid.

Firefox tabs are tabs. This isn't MDI. You can't force all links that would open a new window to open a new tab instead.

Use Ctrl + Click or middleclick (assuming your mouse is so equipped) to open links in a new tab instead.

Tabbrowser Extensions can do just that.

Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

I wish they would do that, though. Surely the thought must have occured to them?

So taking Charles's advice I did. Although I got annoyed at first with the pop ups asking permission for things like AIM or McAfee to get online, now I'm glad it does. It's already prevent a couple possible firewall breaches. It makes me wonder what the hell was going on before I installed it that I didn't know about.

I'll stick to using Opera,Foxfire, and IE 6.0 for now then.

You only need the One True Browser: Firefox.

So that's a good one is it? I have this sudden to expand my horizons regarding broswers - my, if you will, browserizons. Firefox is recommended I take it. I've been using IE exclusively since, two or three PC rebuilds ago, I asked myself why I'd even bother reinstalling Netscape given how much it sucked.

If Firefox were a women, I'd marry her.

Yeah but she can't open new windows in the tabs still so I'll just have a threesome for now.

Surprisingly quite faithful to the novel however. All the same, with the hindsight my adult years give me, the casting of Eastwood does seem strange. At the time he was just some American actor, I was like, ten when this film came out and I think I'd only ever seen Bronco Billy.

I switched over to Firefox to see what all the hype was about. I've been using IE for years, Netscape sucked ass and would crash all the time. Not to mention if a website's HTML wasn't 100% error free it wouldn't show up.

Firefox's tools and settings have taken a little getting use to, but it's growing on me.
