Here is one of those "Firefox Tips No one Knows About" threads. Well... I've gotta have one.. Haven't I?...  :-/

[size=18]Quick Tips[/size]:

• Scroll through multiple tabs by hovering your cursor over the tabs bar and using your mouse wheel.
• Firefox selects the URL differently when you click it to select based on the number of clicks: One click will select all, two clicks selects only the portion between full stops or slashes.
• Use CTRL + F to find and go-to a specific word in a page. Then cycle through instances of the word.
• Use Ctrl+Tab to cycle through tabs forwards.
• Use Ctrl+Shft+Tab to cycle through tabs backwards.

More to come. Feel free to suggest some.

The fact remains these work on Firefox. There was no mention that they're exclusive to Firefox.

Also your arrogant preference of the technically most poor browser in use today, shows your naivety relating to browser technology.

I don't need to provide proof. I'm a professional web developer and the information is free, if you don't like it, sod off.

Additionally, If I were to list "proof", It'd be beyond the scope of your understanding. So little point really.

If you know anything about me, you know I have no fondness for Microsoft. If you really know me, though, you know that, much as I like open-source software and dislike proprietary programs, I'm a pragmatist. What I really like best in technology is what works best. That's why I put up with Apple's closed door policies and use an iPod, and why I now have to say that Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 is better than Firefox 3.0.7.

How can I say that? I can say it because I've been using Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 systems for several months now and it Just Works Better. Of course, working better than IE 7 wasn't much of a trick. IE 7 was a dog. But after years of lagging behind Firefox, IE has finally caught up with Firefox's current production version.

Specifically, IE 8 does a great job of handling tabs. I can all too easily get lost in a forest of tabs with Google Chrome or Firefox. With IE 8, when you open one tab from a link in another, the 'related' tabs have the same color. By automatically organizing the tabs by color-coding, managing tabs just became a lot easier. This is one of those incredibly useful ideas that, after it arrives, you wonder how it ever could have taken so long for it to appear.

Microsoft has also included three useful new privacy tools in IE 8. The one that I've no doubt will see the most use is InPrivate Browsing, aka "porn mode." With it, you can launch a browsing session that will leave no traces behind of where you've been-cookies, browsing history, temporary files, etc-after you ended the session.

InPrivate Filtering sounds like InPrivate Browsing, but its purpose is quite different. With it you can block the site you're visiting from accessing other sites. While this will make many mash-up sites blow up, it helps make sure that your information is going to only the site you think you're visiting.

Finally, the anti-phishing filter, now named SmartScreen, has also been improved.

IE 8's overall performance has also been enhanced. It can now keep up with Firefox 3.


case closed cloud!!!! read the alliteration and weep

LVN, I do know you, and I know without doubt that there's zero chance you've written that yourself.

You copied it from either:

It's the same article. Written way back in March.

Louise, If you're going to try to outsmart yourself, do it away from professionals. Or you just look silly.
