The switch to Mozilla (questions)

[deftron]

1. How do I get my mouse wheel to "click and drag" a webpage. Right now, only scroll works

2. How do I get large video files (mpg, wmv) to play in WMP before completely downloading them.
I know I can open the location in WMP, but is it possible by linking in MOzilla ?

with regards to #2, you can go into the preferences and edit the FileType mapping.
if the corrent WMP movie filetypes aren't there, you'll have to add your own.

you CAN'T do the click and drag thing, as far as I know.

I dont see "File Type Mapping" anywhere

I think i found it.. "Helper Applications"

 

[IcemanJer]

er... maybe they changed the name...
look for something similar, like File Association.. or something like that.

There you go.

 

[deftron]

Ok. I changed it ..


but it still downloads the whole file before opening in WMP and starting play

Is there a way to open WMP immediately and start playing the file as it downloads ?

Well that's retarded.

have you tried MouseIMP? google for it... its main page is down, and it isn't supported anymore, but download mirrors are still up.

Pretty much. Thing I dislike most about Mozilla. Otherwise it is great.

 

[deftron]

Also, it'd be cool if Mozilla had the Google bar, too


Oh well.. guess its back to IE.

Just wish IE didnt almost crash when I go to a certain webpage
that has about 2000 links on it (for some reason stalls at 99% for like a minute).. Mozilla loads it instantly

and the toolbars didn't reset/dissapear all the time..

You can put a google thing in the sidebar thing. I use galeon and it has a google toolbar built into it.

Question about mozilla mail client (on windows):
When you set a filter to delete mail (i.e. spam), you still get a mail notification even if all
new mails had been deleted. Is there a way to stop that?

You can put a google thing in the sidebar thing. I use galeon and it has a google toolbar built into it.

Or you can use the address bar to do a search.

First, Mozilla has great support for Google without it occupying extra screen space. Simply configure "Internet Search" to use Google, then all you have to do is enter your search string into the Address bar and choose to search for it.

Second, the reason you cannot click and drag (if I understand the term correctly) is because the middle mouse button, or the wheel, is set to open a new tab.

which mozzila version are you using? I found the 1.1 beta to fix several issues.

 

[diskop]

1.1beta here too. I like the way that the tabs close to the right now, it's fantastic.
