If you are thinking about downloading the latest version of FireFox you might want to wait. I downloaded it at work and home and so far I am not impressed. At home (WinXP Home) when I look at a slashdot story like the one that I linked to there is no scroll bar. I don't know if this is on purpose or what, but I don't like it. If I try and change the settings by going Tools -> Options I get an invisable dialog box with floating buttons and (some) text over text. There is no way that I could change anything in that section.
*sigh*
I just hope that they release a fixed version soon. I would have thought that something like this would not have made it past the RC's but I guess that I'm not really doing anything to help. ;-P (ahhggg! I lost my spell checker too! Please forgive me)
I'm currently having no problems at all with my copy of firefox 1.5 on both Windows XP Pro and Mandrake Linux 10.1. I'm not sure why you're getting the difficulties you are. Maybe you should try reinstalling. Sometimes getting rid of extensions can fix things. There a some that cause major problems. You should try to keep you extensions to a minimum. I know it's nice to have lots of extensions, but sometimes they aren't done with the most testing, or by the most competent programmers.
ReplyDeleteyou're right. It seems to be the theme that I was using. I couldn't get it to switch to the default theme yesterday so I uninstalled it. Still had problems. (maybe I didn't shut down all instances...)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, things are good now. Thanks for the tip. ;-)
