Bloody Browser

UBT - Halifax-lad · Post by **UBT - Halifax-lad** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 12:14 am

Well I installed Firefox just to have a look around and didn't like it so uninstalled it, rebooted my computer.

Only problem is now if I want a internet page to come up I have to click on the IE quick-link, rather than any of my shortcuts on the keyboard or if I get email through yahoo it won't bring up a IE page, how do I get it to work properly again.

IE is set up as default browser

Fixed it all on my own had to goto

Set Program Access & Defaults and change by browser to IE, it didn't change back after the uninstall of Firefox

I didn't know people still used IE

I couldn't survive without tab browsing after having it for so long

Uninstall Firefox? Blasphemy! The power of Mozilla compels you!

I have ie7 with tabbed browser and I find it a pain in the butt.
I click the X and away go about 7 browser windows. When I only meant to close 1.

I'm sure it will just be a matter of changing my normal habit but at the minute It's a pain

I had IE7 for a while but got rid of it after a couple of weeks there were to many bugs in it, will wait until it is officially released

You should try firefox for a bit longer, when I first got it I didn't like it, but now it seems when I used IE 6, it feels like using windows 95. I really recommmend giving it a little trial! Plus try some add ons such as 'FasterFox'.

Just had a look at the Fasterfox add-on. Seems like webmasters don't like it 'cos it generates too much trafik!

Google accelerator does the same job though again some pages can't be viewed. But I think its less of a whack to the server if used but can be easily disabled

oh and it works on firefox and IE

I would never use that it sends all kinds of Data about you back to Googles servers, I once had a look at it before going to install and I turned away from it because of that reason

Ok so I'm giving it another try, how do I get the browser to play a sound when I click on a link, it doesn't feel right not making a noise when it goes to a new web page.

the noise is like a little click sound

Control panel, Sounds & Audio Devices, Sounds, find the application and add the sound isn't it?

Where do I find the control panel in Firefox?

No in XP. Start, Settings, Control Panel. At least that's where I did my sound effects for IE.

I only have options for IE in there and not anything for FireFox

Dunno then hun, sorry. I'm sure one of the Firefox experts will be able to tell you.

Dumb question - have you looked in Help?

UBT - Halifax-lad · Post by **UBT - Halifax-lad** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 7:25 pm

I can't use the help facility it keeps throwing up errors, as I'm looking for the answer to another problem but have had to ask that on there forums as help won't work

Here you go:
Navigational Sounds - Firefox Extension

Thats the one thank you

Wish the search bit would work for me

Will have to try it again soon may just have been a temp error

Perhaps the search doodah only works when you view it in IE :sign5:
