Firefox.

A question. You say "stick with firefox" yet you post with IE and the
Avant shell. Why is that?

X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0;
Avant Browser; Avant Browser; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR
2.0.50727),gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe)

IE7 will not work with Windows 2000.

I prefer IE7. The main reason is I like the x for closing a tab on the tab
itself.

Opera has this function as well. Re Firefox, you must have an extension
that puts an "x" on a tab. With Firefox, pressing Ctrl-W will close the
tab with the focus.

I have 1.5.0.7 which I believe is the newest non-beta. It doesn't have this
feature. I use both but find I prefer IE7. Until the gold version was
reeased I used Firefox almost exclusively on this machine as no beta
software gets anywhere near it. I have been using IE7 in Vista on a test
machine since last June. Now that the gold version of IE7 is out I've
installed it for everyday use on this machine. So far I like it enough that
I've changed it to be the default browser. In the context of this newsgroup
so far in it's default configuration it seems a little more secure than
Firefox's default. The anti-phishing and privacy options are big improvement
over IE6. Only time will tell if it's any more or less exploitable than IE6
or Firefox. I suspect it won't really matter in XP because everyone runs as
administrator so any software can eventually be exploited.

Try 'Tab Mix Plus' from a reputable Mozilla add-on site near you. I have
had the 'x' for ever.

I'm presently running tabbrowser preferences and click2tab.

I like the x on the tabs in tab mix plus. If I run Tab mix
plus, do I need tabbrowser preferences and/or click2tab?

Thanks.

I downloaded IE7 and tried it-fair but kept giving me a DNS error on a site
that was okay in IE6. Then I tried Firefox 2.0 RC# and that was much, much
better. Getting bold I tried Thunderbird but it would only import *one* of
many, many folders in OE6. Sigh. Good thing I made a restore point before
starting to play with the Mozilla stuff, now I'm back to IE7 and OE6 :-(
