nah it's not, it;s just when i mention stuff people always ask for a link so i thought i would do the same out of sheer laziness :lol:

just set the pc i built for my mum up, she has dial up and i wanted to use firefox. the problem is when you shut down firefox it doesnt ask if you want to disconnect from the net like IE does. this si ok for most of us who can manually disconnect but my mum isnt so good with computers.

anyone know of anyway of making firefox do this like IE?

Don't think it could cos FF is in no way linked with the operating system...

unless you just tell her to shutdown the pc when she's finished with the internet?

my firefox has decided that when clicking on a link for an image, instead of opening the image it will download it to my hd, any idea how i can change it back :?:

Would've thought it's be in the Download Options but it isn't!

You find a solution mate?

Is there any way to get flash animations to play automatically instead of having to click play on each and every one?
