Do you still have Tab Mix installed? Perhaps that's overriding it.

I work on a Mac at home (on which I use Safari, which also has tabbed browsing native, but I never use - can't find a purpose for it). At work I am using Firefox 1.something on a POS HP running XP. Is there someplace I can check to see if I DO have a plug-in mysteriously installed?

Tools --> Extensions should bring up a list of whatever you have installed (I don't know what it shows if you have nothing installed.

Because I hadn't chosen to add any actual FF extentions I hadn't thought to check there: d'oh! I DO have the Yahoo toolbar (I think I opted for that when I was messing around with my SBC account) -- and lo: there is "tab mix plus" right underneath. So, maybe I got it with the toolbar...or maybe it was just bundled with my initial DL of FF and I didn't notice. Either way I consider the mystery (for my browser at least) solved! Thanks Alex: color yourself correct!

After years of using Netscape, we just switched to Firefox today. The latest version of Netscape was a trainwreck, and I hate Exhorror. I must say that I am very pleased with Firefox.

I just switched over myself, so far no issues, but I am wrestling with my unmanageable 1200+ bookmarks.

I'm ex-IE now

The spellcheck has spoiled me. Any application I use that doesn't have in-line spellcheck, I'm paralyzed.

I'm late to the party, and didn't feel like reading every post. I quite liked my old Firefox. With sites like LoT, I tend to open everything I'm interested in different tabs, then go through them all. With work, I tend to have multiple sites up for reference and fact checking, so I operate much the same way, except that I don't close the windows down until I'm finished with the work entirely. What I don't like with Firefox 2.0 is that every tab has a X for me to accidentally click when I just mean to look at the page on that tab.

I *knew* that Firefox 2.0 had that, so I avoided downloading it. IMO, the best features to Firefox were already in the original, so no need. I got tricked. I don't even know when... I don't even know how... but a couple of weeks ago I opened up my Firefox and... it was 2.0!! I was horrified. I keep closing tabs I just mean to look at. Not to mention, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to revert back to the "old tab closing method." In the interim, I've double-checked the "download new updates" option. It has to ask me before it does anything... Grrr...

I'm too lazy to research a way out of this catastrophe, and frankly, it has me depressed. I should probably see a doctor.

But other than that - I've been a Firefox proponent since I had to switch to a PC. Even with it's stupid X next to the tab, it's the best thing out there. Well, next to the Old Firefox, that is...
