Yeah, group similar definitely helps with running many zones. If you need to close it, just right click, close group. :D

Windows needs a middle-click. In linux, switch within a group with middle-click. it's so much faster than alt-tabbing your way through all windows. Tabs just control your groups that much faster, by integrating them into mozilla/netscape. It really does save you a ton of time when viewing pictures in a gallery (open in new tab over and over), and get back to the original windows in a snap.

On slow connections, it's nice to open 3 tabs in the background as you read the page you're currently on. They open up without popping up a new window that takes your focus from your current page.

It disapears when you have only one site open, perhaps you are thinking of the quick launch bar? IE has the same thing, but you can slide it around, which is utterly useless, because then it always is a menu which is what favorites is for..

So after looking at that do you still think IE is better...

a_Guest03 12-10-2004 08:46 PM

What are we looking for?

mysticalninjajesus 12-10-2004 10:50 PM

i think were suspoused to be looking at firefox taking up 4x mem usage. wow, that was some major self-pwnage. he thought we would think the browser that takes up more memory would be more advanced lol. memener you want your browser to take less mem usage not more lol. by the way, you have something called bargains.exe running.

a_Guest03 12-11-2004 04:11 AM

Actually, it can't be 4X usage because explorer.exe is part of iexplore.exe, and combined, they're only 1/7 smaller than Mozilla.

Memener 12-11-2004 08:33 AM

look again at my above post.

Yea i know it runs when i use IE it called spyware.

EDIT:
My computer runs funny if it has been running for 2 weeks I rebooted it and it changed.
I think i'll say pwned.

Oh do a google on Bargains.exe and you'll see what it is.

mysticalninjajesus 12-11-2004 09:02 AM

lmfao of course its spyware. DURRR. thats why i told you that you have it running in the background. and it doesnt run when you open IE, it runs because of something you accepted on IE cause your a tard and now probly boots up with windows. i dont even have firefox installed and only use IE and dont have any exe's i dont know what do running, because instead of installing an xtra browser, i use the ultimate computer protection tool, my brain.

http://img117.exs.cx/img117/3201/ie8nwd5ws.jpg
yeah, putting your buttens and adress bar on the same thing is leet. i do it with my windows folders too. to bad firefox cant lol. (the only disadvantage i see about it)

Scorpx725 12-11-2004 09:24 AM

Guys this isnt a real argument.

Its mostly opinions. ninjawhatevers whole argument is basicly opinions.

The only thing you can argue is

A) One runs faster
B) Which has better spyware protection

How do you argue "omg les spase is pwn irl lol"? Maybe some people like more space in certain areas.
