Pimp my Firefox

I'm probably one of the few remaining IE users here. The only reason I haven't switched to Firefox is because I'm happy with IE and I don't want to have to learn all the ins and outs of a different browser.

Hey Mooby... you'd be surprised at how easily you'll move around in Firefox. Both browsers have pretty much the same shortcuts (and IE borrowed a bunch of stuff from Mozilla- like the tabbed browsing).

Firefox is just a lot cooler because it's open source... people are creating all kinds of plugins and themes to make it customizable to user preference.

It's really not hard to figure out, it's very user friendly. It has a lot of cool add ons and overall it's much faster than IE and not such a resource hog.

I notice no difference between the two Dirtbag, except I have no Ads on mine because of the Firefox apps I mentioned above.

Yeah, I suspect it's something with how I've put the settings on my firefox but it's really driving me crazy and I don't know how to fix it. Heres a comparison of two photos that are essentially the same size. As you can see the Firefox version of YouTube is a lot bigger then the items on the IE example.

Edit: Fixed it. Just had to uninstall then reinstall firefox. Still having that for the last 3 months was really annoying.

On my Stephen King blog they were able to fullfill this request. Can we do it here?

Hey,

I'm not sure how in the world these work (maybe the webmaster would know), but this site needs an icon for our Firefox bookmarks bar. Firefox has a feature where you can bookmark your sites on a toolbar (for those not familiar) and most of the sites provide a little icon that is used so you can easily see and click it. I have heard these icons called "favicons"

For example, Monster.com uses the big purple "M" from their logo. Barnes & Noble uses the letters "B&N". Wikipedia is a big "W". I was thinking SK.com could use the little crow from the logo above or something? Right now all I'm getting is the little blank page icon and I have several of those, so it's hard to differentiate.

By googling "how to create favicons for your site", I found a lot of tutorials for how to do so.

I know it seems picky, but it would be a great help for those of us who use this feature.

Good question, a favicon for the path would be sweet, it is one one the few ones I dont have.

I might create one tonight or tomorrow when I get some free time.

Ok I dont have PS anymore so I can't do it.

Here is the link for anyone interested and has some time to burn.

Might be too late but this is funny!
