Firefox, you have let me down.....
I recently recieved my first Firefox pop-up. Not to say that it's going to become a regular occurence, but still, the fact that it's happening saddens me. Anyone else have one yet?

Re: Firefox, you have let me down.....
Regardless, Firefox is still much more stable then IE. It's faster, runs better, and doesn't tie up your system.

Re: Firefox, you have let me down.....
Agreed. I have gotten the occasional popup from Firefox which has left me shocked, but I can't imagine how many I would get just in one day if I started using IE again...
/me shivers at the thought

Even the best programs can be slipped around, I suppose.
And, like everyone else said, no matter what, ANYTHING is better than IE.

I think I've gotten a grand total of about....6 Firefox pop-ups.

Re: Firefox, you have let me down.....
May help on popup blocking: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007903.html
Asa's blog is one I drop by often.
as for the gibberish on page and when trying to download ..etc.. well that is because the server is serving with the wrong Mime type.. like for example "text/plain" instead of what it should be "text/html"
Firefox 1.0.3 is coming soon once they get a few things ironed out as there is an issue like one Bugzilla patch that may break a number of extensions. The 1.0.3 does have a fix where it can remove the old entries of Firefox in Add/Remove because people do not know better to uninstall old version before installing new version in same place.
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007905.html
For those of you who use Firefox on Windows, the .zip release's of Firefox is not available anymore since the 1.0.2 release as there is a huge problem due to people installing the .zip 1.0.1 and then getting a upgrade peompt for the 1.0.2 installer and then Firefox breaks big time. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/chase...ing_why_t.html
I have not been by much here as I have been spending alot of my free time at mozillaZine forums and as a busy moderator for last 5-6 months.

Re: Firefox, you have let me down.....
Is it normal that it opens the download screen for EVERY SMALL picture I want to save? It's terrible. I just want to save something tiny, then FF freezes for 5 seconds and the download screen shows up (with the download already finished of course).
What do I do about this?

Re: Firefox, you have let me down.....
Go to TOOLS > OPTIONS
click on Downloads
and check "Show downloads everytime download begins"
and check "Close downloads when finished"
It should cancel everything out with small files like images.
EDIT: Or just uncheck "Show download manager everytime download begins."
And when you download a large file and wanna see progress, just hit CTRL+J and it'll come up.

Re: Firefox, you have let me down.....
Thanks, that solved it. For the moment. I never had this problem a few weeks ago. It's just getting slower I think.
And are you sure it's ctrl+J? That gives 'Page Info' here.

Re: Firefox, you have let me down.....
