Firefox web browser

First of all I too have had problems with the wordsrunning togetherbut I guess I was not aware it was a browser problem, Ifigured it wasa problem with flightinfo? Don't know?

The cut and paste problem happens when I try to paste a URL oractuallyanything onto a reply to a thread. When I right -click there isnooption to paste and when I try to use the paste button in theareaabove where you type a reply to a thread it says 'You need to edityouMozilla config file to allow this action'. (Had to type thisoutlong-hand since I couldn't cut and paste!)

The wordsrunningtogether thing is only a recent problem, that startedhappening to everybody at the same time, so there's no way that can beconnected to the browser.

As far as your pasting problem, I can paste stuff just fine (via thekeyboard shortcut and the conext menu) and I'm on a fresh install offirefox (1.0). Maybe an extension you are (or were) using screwed withyour settings?

I am making this post in IE to see if any of the words run together, to confirm that this in fact is a browser-independent problem. Maybe this post is too short for this error to happen just by chance, so I'm gonna add in some junk to make it longer. Cram it, climb it, clean it, call it, cool it! Um, circle, climb, confess! Uh, Airspeed, Best field, Checklist! Oh wow, what do you know, nothing happened to the above text, so let's add some more junk to it.

A 1997 Extra 300/200 (S/N 004) manufactured by Extra Flugzeugbau in Germany.


The Extra Flugzeugbau company was established in Germany by Walter Extra, an aerobatic pilot, to design and develop his own aerobatic aircraft. Walter Extra introduced the Extra 300/200 in 1996, and the aircraft is fully certificated in the U.S. to +/-10 G's. The 200 is a little smaller than the Extra 300L, and is powered by a 200 hp, rather then a 300 hp Lycoming engine. It also uses the same wing and tail structure as the EA300/S. It was considerably less expensive, at $170,000 (1996 new), versus the 300L's price of $235,000 (1996 new). At lower speeds, the performance is similar to the Decathalon. When opened up though, it performs similar to the Pitts S-2B (the Pitts has a 60HP edge, but the aerodynamic and clean design of the Extra makes it comparable in performance.

Using IE

Using IE, copy and paste works fine.....

The cutandpaste problem happens when I try to paste a URL oractuallyanythingonto a reply to a thread. When I right -click there isnooption topaste and when I try to use the paste button in theareaabove where youtype a reply to a thread it says 'You need to edityouMozilla configfile to allow this action'. (Had to type thisoutlong-hand since Icouldn't cut and paste!)

I just switched too. I'm still working on some minor sound and graphic issues, but I like it a lot. Being able to browse in tabs vs. having to open another IE window is great.

Firefox user for many months
IE gets very little use.

 

[mesaba2425]

I've been using FireFox for about a month now but still prefer IE. I'll probably switch back soon.

I guess make sure to run Windows Update daily and disable all those useless ActiveX controls.

I use Opera (the free version with ads, although I've prevented the ads from appearing. I have a blank area instead). Been using it for several years.

I'd switch to Firefox but I think Opera responds a bit faster & I like being able to drag & drop tab order. I also like a particular skin available for Opera that very, very clearly marks unread tabs compared to ones I've clicked on.

 

[RideTheWind]

I've also been using Opera www.opera.com/ now for about 2 years, a real nice alternative to IE.

...I run Firefox on a Mac...

Well there's your problem

[anjinoo7]

I love Firefox but have noticed when I post the spacing between wordstend close once I post it. I'm not sure if this is a factor of usingFirefox or something with the site, but otherwise I love it.

 

[ATL2CDG]

I'm using Firefox and haven't had any issues with disappearing spaces.

Hmmmm. Something's afoot, my dear Watson.

 

[Hobit]

God Bless Firefox!!!!

I got it months ago and LOVE IT!!! Just having a better interface for the bookmarks up along the toolbar makes the switch worth it. I am not that much of a computer wizard so I couldn't tell you all of the bene's , but the really smart people always say to get it and ditch IE.

The best way to put it: Remember the guys in high school who were taking classes with you but were still in middle school? Those are the folks that laughed at me for still using IE.... I had to switch, I got shamed into it!!!

If you have doubts, I got this article from PCWorld.com. There are 270 hits if you search "firefox" on there website. Good luck in the switch. I also recommend the google add-on. It puts a google text window in the upper right hand corner and is king-kong for fast searches.

Alternative browsers

I use Opera (the free version with ads, although I've prevented the ads from appearing. I have a blank area instead). Been using it for several years.

I'd switch to Firefox but I think Opera responds a bit faster & I like being able to drag & drop tab order. I also like a particular skin available for Opera that very, very clearly marks unread tabs compared to ones I've clicked on.

I've also been using Opera www.opera.com/ now for about 2 years, a real nice alternative to IE.

I also have Opera and it isn't bad. The e-mail client seems slightly clunky to use, in my $0.02 opinion.

Still can't determine why spaces would run together when I post with Firefox. Apparently it is happening to others, according to a post above.

Safari on my Mac is completely satisfactory, but seems slightly slower than Firefox.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Have been using Firefox for about 6 months and it seems a bit slower than IE and alot of the pages do not load any pics. Homepage or news pages.
Ideas?

 

[Dash8]

use firefox on the laptop(for a few months now, since the release of 1.0), mozilla suite on the home pc(for a very very long time), very happy with both

 

[urflyingme?!]

Firefox rules. No spyware, Adware or pop ups!
The second I open IE I get a virus or install or pop up or adware blah blah blah....
YAY FIREFOX The internet is fun again!
