Apr 26th 2008 6:47AM It looks like Foxit is playing catch-up with PDF X-change viewer ( http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer )

Reopen closed tabs in Firefox with your keyboard (Download Squad)

Jan 22nd 2008 6:36AM And your keyboard shortcut in Opera to re-open closed tabs is Ctrl+Alt+Z (Ctrl+Z alone will do it 99% of the time as well, because it simply undoes the last thing you did).

Sorry, Firefox didn't invent sliced bread.

Firefox Tip - Rearrange tabs by dragging and dropping (Download Squad)

Jan 19th 2008 3:47AM Man, How much money is Firefox giving you?
As I've mentioned in other posts, you guys are suffering so much from Firefox blindness.
You can do this in ANY tab browser. Well "any" I'm not sure about that, but I've got 4 on my computer and all of them do it:
Opera (By the way folks, if you truly want something better, try Opera)
Internet Explorer 7
Safari for Windows
and, as you've already mentioned, as if it was the only thing that existed, Firefox.
I'll assume that a Konquerer user will verify the ability to move tabs there as well...
Sheesh!

Adobe Reader Lite: Blazing fast version of Adobe Reader 8 (Download Squad)

Dec 27th 2007 9:12AM Just a quick +1 for Anand K Gupta's comments.
If you haven't tried PDF XChange yet you don't know what you're missing!

Split Browser: Because sometimes, tabs just aren't enough (Download Squad)

Dec 19th 2007 1:10PM Is it just me, or does this look just a bit like Opera's Tab arranging feature?
Hmmm.
Well I'm sure that it's been suped up a bit... That's what most firefox add-ons do when they imitate Opera.
But of course, the advantage in Opera: it's built in.

Opera 9.5 coming soon (Download Squad)

Jul 7th 2007 6:14AM I'm always surprised when people say that they run into "a lot" of pages that don't display correctly in Opera. This WAS a problem back when IE5/6 had a monopoly on the browser market and designers were obliged to jump through the all the Microsoft hoops.
But these days standards compliance has managed to impose itself enough so that most web designers will assure a minimum of cross-browser compatability, and that's all that Opera and the other browsers needed to insure correct display.

I can't remember the last time I saw a page that didn't render correctly in Opera. It happens, yes, but it's no more common in Opera than in any other browser. All browsers have occasional rendering issues with some pages and this is not the fault of the browser, be it IE, Fx, Opera, Safari or whoever, but the webpage's designer, who thinks that the world only uses his or her prefered browser.
Anyhoo, I switched over ot Opera about 2 years ago and have never looked back. I appreciate its speed of course, but especially the incredible things that you can do to customize the interface. My Opera looks and behaves exactly as I want it to. Furthermore, if I stay with Opera it's because I find the others more frustrating to use. That of course is a personal thing and I say to each his own. But if you haven't tried Opera recently, you don't know what you're missing. And especially don't be misguided by out-of-date information about Opera. Here's the truth about today's Opera:
The complete version of Opera is free.
The complet version of Opera is Ad-free.
Opera's rendering engine is as good if not better than any out there.
Opera is famous for it's speed, security, slim profile and reduced memory usage.
9.5 should be great, but why not give it a try today?
I might sound like an Opera salesman but I'm not. I'm just one heck of a satisfied Opera user!

Get Opera-like Speed Dial in Firefox (Download Squad)

May 12th 2007 7:36AM Drewsus, when you say that StumbleUpon doesn't work in Opera, did you mean that they don't offer a stumbleupon toolbar for Opera? The website works perfectly for me in my Opera 9.2.
Opera's page rendering is about as good as it gets these days. All browsers have trouble with some pages. I've found pages that render correctly in Opera but not in FF or IE, correctly in IE but not FF or Opera etc. etc. The problem isn't really the browsers, but the website designer that never learned what 'interoperability' means.
Anyhoo,
Just curious,
Kenny

Mozilla ends support for Firefox 1.5 (Download Squad)

May 11th 2007 4:00AM Thomas was correct when he said that you can't compare a pay OS with a free browser vis-à-vis to continuing support. I find that this article is exagerating a bit suggesting that it's a big problem that FF1.5 suppport is going to stop.
What is troubling here is that so many of you are reporting crashes for FF 2.0.
For my part, I have 2.0 and have never noticed any particular problems with crashes. But there's probably a good reason for this: I made Opera my default browser.
Opera is now at version 9.20, and it's come a LOONG way since 6 or 7 (if those were the last ones you tried). Page rendering is virtually perfect these days in Opera (although this is a bit of a non-issue; all browsers have diffuculty with some pages. This is not the fault of the browser, but of the webpage's author, who never learned what 'interoperability' means.) Opera is fast, secure, outragously customizable, and, since I've been in the 9.x versions, it hasn't crashed on me. At all. Never.

Get Opera-like Speed Dial in Firefox (Download Squad)

May 9th 2007 8:16AM Firefox is a good browser, nothing wrong with it and some of its extensions are really neat. Opera is a better browser. A friendly word to all those firefoxers out there (and while I'm at it, IE users as well): Try opera. it's going to be different so give yourself a few weeks to get familiar with it. explore its menus and especially its website to see all that you can customize (virtually everything)... Simply put, try Opera with an open mind and I bet, like me, you'll be convinced.
Oh and before anyone makes the mistake: The FULL version of Opera is now FREE and AD-FREE (and has been for years now).
