Firefox Tips

TC Guru,

<< Ha hah! We "Newbies" have a Guru! ... Afraid not, just a happy user. >>

With three good tips like those, you be Da Guru. <g>

Thank you. I took advantage of each and particularly like the capability to switch to IE on a given page when needed. I've also been using it to compare page rendering, IE to Firefox. Although the majority of web users display 1024 x 768 (see below June stats from OneStat) I use 800x600 (small icons regular text at 96 DPI) on a 20' Dell Trinitron. At that setting many IE pages extend to the right of my visible screen. In Firefox with Tools|Options|Multimedia set to its default "Resize all large images to fit in browser window" the complete page width displays which is a feature I like in Firefox, but I also like the option to have the IE default view.

<< There's very little learning curve using FireFox for the average user. Just crank it up and go. >>

That's the neat part. No real reason for anyone to be aprehensive about trying it in this regard, particularly since it does a nice job of importing bookmarks, and items from the IE "Links" toolbar.

<< One plus for anyone that hasn't used it...once you've tried tabbed browsing, you'll never go back! >>

That's for sure. It's immediately addictive. I place the optional "Open in a New Tab" icon on the top toolbar right next to "Help" and frequently use it.

Here is some Display Trivia. The most popular screen resolutions on the web in the world are:

1. 1024 x 768                54.02% 
2. 800 x 600                 24.66% 
3. 1280 x 1024               14.10% 
4. 1152 x 864                 4.00% 
5. 640 x 480                  0.60% 
6. 1600 x 1200                0.80% 
7. 1152 x 870                 0.10% 
                                                                             
OneStat (June 2004) All numbers are an average of the last 2 months.

Best,

- Eric -
