Amazing Tip buddy. Stumbled
great one! i had no clue you could do that… seems like you know maaany things about firefox!
Thanks alot Madhur Kapoor for Stumbling,
Thanks stratosg for appreciating
Awesome man!
This would be awesome, but it gives a Java Script Application error that reads as follows: “TypeError: unsafeWindow is undefined” and then my window won’t close and I have to start a new Firefox session altogether.
When I start Firefox,a new tab appears also(Ebay) how do i stop this additional tab from loading when i start Firefox?
Check your home page in the Settings:
it probably looks something like this:
http://www.homepage.com | http://www.ebay.com
take off ” | http://www.ebay.com”
and you should be left with “http://www.homepage.com”
hope that solves your problem
THIS SOUNDS GREAT, I WONDER IF YOU COULD OPEN DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF FIRE FOX, SAY A CUSTOM BUILD FOR MUTIMEDIA OR SEVERAL CUSTOM BUILDS FOR DIFFERENT SUBJECTS IE SECURITY, SEARCHING, MEDIA, WHATEVER, WHICH WOULD EACH BE OPTIMIZED FOR ITS SPECIFIC ACTION, WITH ITS OWN ADD-ONS AND THEMES TO PUT AN END TO A BROWSER WITH 35 ADD-ONS AND STREAMLINE THE USERS ACTIONS. I AM THINKING ALONG THE LINES OF FASTDIAL ONLY USING FIREFOX BUILDS WITHIN FIREFOX. IF ANYONE HAS DONE THIS OR KNOWS IF IT IS POSSIBLE PLEASE RESPOND.
Try tree style tabs…its even better
