I will switch to Mozilla from IE if...

[CrazyHelloDeli]

...I can configure it to open maximized everytime a new page opens. I cant stand how IE wont let me click on a link to open a new page and I have to manually resize it everytime. Or if I close a non-maximized page LAST, the next time I open IE it saves that size and I have to maximize it again! AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Does Mozilla do this? Or Opera even?

my mozilla/firebird doesn't let me configure it to do that... it just does

Mozilla automatically opens a new window maximized. And I love having tabs.

 

[MikeMike]

why do you want a new window? get just a new tab baby!! scroll wheel click and its a new tab!!!

I bet the Mozilla developers are reading this thread and adding that feature right now, because they care so much if you switch browsers.

Well Ive never used tab based browsing, but I hear all the cool kids are doing it so...

tabbed browsing is a thing of beauty
what i love most about opera 7 🙂

cool thing about tab browsing is that you could click on the tab you want to survive and nuke the other ones instantly

nevermind. thought I had an IE fix for you, but it didn;t work for me either.

I switched over from IE just to see what it was like. Tabs and the popup blocker are great. I can't go back now.

Mozilla is great but I really like MyIE2

That will make the initial page open maximized, but any subsequent pages afterwords will open however you manually resized the corners. Plus then I have to make sure I close a maximised window last otherwise next time I open IE it will be non-maximised! So fvcking annoying.

I used a little "IE new window maximizer" program (I think that's the one) for a while prior to switching to mozilla.

Yup, thanks alot. But I just switched to Mozilla 1.5 and am lovin it.

i prefer firebird, much less bloat although the mozilla suite is quite fully featured

 

[jhu]

of course, no matter how you modify ie, you're still using ie and all it's inherent bugs that people like to exploit

What's this craze about tabbed browsing ? Alt-tab switching is faster than point and clicking tabs.

 

[PlatinumGold]

and with tab browser extensions you can have it open to ALL the tabs that were opened when you last closed.

that's pretty sweet.

HelloDeli, there's a way to have IE memorize the size of new windows.

But I forget how.


😀

 

[CrazyHelloDeli]

While I like tabbed browsing, im not one to start mashing my pud over it...Its just another task bar for browsing windows only.

 

[tennisflip]

Mozilla is sweet. Upon a clean install of XP Pro on each of our 3 home computers the first thing I do is make it the default browser.

 

[Kadarin]

The lack of remote root and active-X exploits alone makes Mozilla well worth the switch.

 

[OIKOS]

dont..... i think IE SUCKS.... u can become a Lifer faster if u use Mozilla...🙁

1) I see a way to open it maximized all the time... on my desktop is a shortcut to IE6. Right-click it --> properties --> Run: Maximized.

2) Clicking on a link to open a new window: Shift-click links.

3) If you click the X to close IE, it will memorize the size. Close it via other means and it won't.
