Finally found how to get rid of those system buttons. Still looking to find how to get rid of the extra search (search all and highlight) and address bar (go) buttons.

Right click on the tool bar > customize toolbars.
Same as IE.

Customize toolbars don't let you remove the excessive search all, highlight, and go buttons. And you can't right click on the search or address bar.

IE can be made as secure as FireFox.

PS: I've never had a machine die because of virus/spyware. I just don't get how people get virus/spyware on their machine.

PSS: The content filter is much better on Maxthon then FF, I will continue to look for a extension that removes ads on webpages.

I always post this in these FF vs IE threads. No one seems to want to pay attention.
They MUST know better than I.

Question: How do I get Maxthon to open a new tab using CTRL +T? And to get it to undo close tab using the middle mouse button? And to stop using Autoscroll when I middle click? And how do I get rid of those icons, like the New Window, Encoding, Full Screen, etc...

RTFM. Or figure it out for yourself.

Attitude like that ain't going to help your cause of trying to get FF users to switch.

In any case, it's a lot more frustrating to trying to get rid of crap that you don't want than looking for stuff that you do. FF > Maxthon

I don't care if you switch or not, I just like to diffuse kiddies little zealot ridden ideals. Not all programs have the exact same commands utilized the exact same way. You should know that if you've used a computer longer than 3 months.
It probably boils down to you being a complete noob who couldn't configure his way out of a paper bag.

Don't get me started on Maxthon. I was THE maxthon fanboi back in the day. Then I switched to firefox.. but I still like maxthon.

I even made a thread on Maxthon vs Firefox and showed how Maxthon was better..

How do I get Maxthon to open a new tab using CTRL +T? = CTRL + N

And how do I get rid of those icons, like the New Window, Encoding, Full Screen, etc... =

right click the toolbar and you will have additional options


See this site for plugins that add additional features: http://maxthon.tarapages.com/

I'm not going to read all this mess, but I have to agree the current generation of firefox sucks big time.

 

[SuperTool]

You must be on MS payroll
If you think Explorer rocks
It is nowhere near as good
As Mozilla Firefox

Yes but as long as IE is the top internet brwoser in the market most hackers will find/try to find new holes in IE to exploit the browser.

The OP is the most stubborn retarded git I have ever seen. I've had more productive arguments with fundamentalist christians. Vote him 1 and move on.

I think I'll write to w3.org and ask them to block your site, seeing you obviously have NO IDEA what the hell you're talking about, yet continue to use it to back up your retarded argument.

Why firefox sucks


Looking back, I should title it "why firefox users suck" but oh well. What are your thoughts? Am I wrong about this?

Are you trying to say that if FireFox wasn't more popular it wouldn't be targeted as well?

I'm going to have to agree with UnixFreak on one thing though. FireFox Fanboys suck.

 

[OrganizedChaos]

looked at the code, to me it seems firefox is rendering it correctly and IE is moving things around on its own.

Sure to make IE secure just rip out your network cable,

Nice article. It was actually fun to read and I wasn't offended. In fact, I use IE for the pages that show incorrectly in Firefox.

Keep it up.

The fact remains.

Are you really that stupid?

And of course when a student calls in saying that he/she can't get into their online course, we ask what browser they are using - and when they say FireFox, we say "Sorry, that browser isn't supported, the two browsers that are fully validated for use with these applications are the latest versions Netscape and IE."

It's amazing how many script and HTML errors come up in FireFox.

Sounds like a poor excuse for "Sorry, we don't wanna help you".
You do realize that Netscape 6.x and later are based on Gecko, same as Firefox, Mozilla, and a bunch of other browsers, right?

"Quick Reply"


Does not work in it anymore....

 

[dethman]

firefox zealots are like red sox fans. sure it was nice to see a big victory over the yankees/microsoft, but they're still fvcking annoying.

 

[blakeatwork]

Mehh..

I use both, as some pages won't load right, or the security settings of the page specifically request IE or Nutscrape.

I couldn't care less about what people thing of one browser or another. Spyware is still spyware, and will infect your system even if you're using Firefox, or another alternative browser. However, people DO want to thump their "Alternative Chests" and proclaim loudly that they don't use any of MS/IE/MAC products, because they're "smart"..

again, mehh..

I just don't like it when people who are very un-tech savvy talk about browser differences

Actually I have a degree in computer science, but thanks for the blind assumption!

2. In your http://www.messedup.net/firefox-demo.htm link, I see no code that is supposed to center the table. The only thing I see is IE is automatically centering the table, whereas FireFox displays it as the code is written (firefox-demo2.htm - is centered in FF because it's specified to be centered).

actually, it's specified in a CSS class:

body {
background-color: #999999;
text-align: center;
}

Which is the proper way to do it, according to W3C. As far as the spyware arguments, I cant deny that, however, with a growing marketshare, you can bank on spyware authors targeting FF next.

Oh, and messedup.net is a NSFW page. All pages linked here are not. I didnt link the frontpage of MU for that reason, didnt want to spring any surprises on anyone.

w3c is not the fuskng interweb. It is a standard made when IE was king. Take it and any other stupid ass 'internet standard compliancy' and shove it up your microsoft browser using ass.
