Beat me to it. But that's all Mozilla is good for in my personal opinion.

Tabbed browsing is the other big thing I love.

Set tabs to load in background. Middle click (push down on the wheel), load up the thread in the background while you scan for other threads to read. Very nice.

Uninstall it. Install Phoenix.

Well, that and the whole myriad of security flaws in IE that don't affect Mozilla. But hey, security is overrated anyway.

Tabbed browing, once you're used to it, is essential.

tried middle clicking a link and it just opened another window!

FYI, Netscape 7 has tabbed browsing too... and with the same look... you know the deal.

Edit>Preferences>Navigator>Tabbed Browsing. Check boxes appropriately.

*Ahem*

Anyway, set up Tabbed browsing in the preferences to load new links in the background in new tabs upon the click of the middle mouse button (or wheel). Also check out the option under Privacy > Images to accept images from originating server only. That helps with a lot of banner ads.

Edit: Must add the necessary "browsing the AnandTech forums with Mozilla's tabbed browsing features just freaking rocks!" comment.

Actually, I left my Mozilla install flash free. Just so that I wouldn't get so many damn annoying pages. I left IE for those.

 

[Willoughbyva]

I also use Suns Java. Might want to consider that too.

That is a good idea. Given the proliferation of flash ads, I wish now that I had not installed the Flash plugin for Mozilla (my most often used browser) and left IE for the rare times I get an e-card or some other thing that needs the Flash plugin.

log into all your forums then close mozilla so that you dont have to log in again if the power fails or something

I'm a new Mozilla convert, and I have a quick question: Anyone know of a way I can associate the thumb button on my mouse with "BACK" in the browser?

One way is to associate the thumb button with "backspace".

I have a MS Intellimouse 3.0 and I used to have to do this. But with Moz 1.2.1, they put in support for the "back" button as the thumb button gets defaulted to in the Intellimouse software.

Not sure about that one, but if you look in advanced under prefferances you will find that you can set the wheel key and a keyboard button will go back and forwards in the browser history.

BTW I just found out middle clicking on a tab will close it. Cool.

Yeah, I found that one out by accident.
