GAH.

Someone explain to me the add-ons vs themes and all that stuff, please?

I've installed some Add-Ons... any specifically I should be looking at?

As for themes... I have Version 3.0.1 ... so 99.9% of the themes don't work properly... I'm looking for a theme similar to the one that comes with the previous version? Am I making any sense... probably not. I just want a NICE browsing experience.

And all of this customizable stuff is giving me a headache.

Someone care to explain things to me in English?

[Christina86]

AHA! I win the internet.

I found pretty theme that is like Firefox Version 2. *phew* And updated stupid add-ons that weren't working because I have Version 3 now.

My head hurts. Still looking for recommendations about add-ons that people use though.

[Christina86]

ACK!?! TOO MANY OPTIONS.

My brain 'sploded.

*kicks browser* I love it, I hate it... Christina shouldn't be allowed to touch options and customize anything. I can fix a computer (I'm the tech geek in the family, how sad) ... but options?! Nope, I suck at that.

My head hurts.

[Christina86]

Blah. Again. Too many toolbars this time.

Are people laughing at me yet? I'm almost hoping someone is...

Facebook toolbar. Too many buttons. And then the bottom bar on the browser... buttons and stuff and I'm not sure what they all do.

Oopsies.

[Christina86]

YES!!!!!!!!!! I have conquered the INTERNETS! AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

teehee. I figured out the stupid toolbar. And the stupid button which I wasn't sure about. Now... if I could figure out what all the Add-Ons my friend installed for me actually DID, that'd be GREAT!

I amuse myself.

[SweetSunshine]

Christina I think you win the trophy for talking to yourself the most on PC LOL I'm laughing with you on this not at you ok? It was quite entertaining to read all your posts lol. I think KD had posted a link for a firefox thingy that allows you to have tabs , and its really helpful when you have several sites your browsing at one time. Let me see if I can find it and I'll get it posted ok?

[Christina86]

I have tabs... it's everything else I can't figure out.

*takes trophy*

I win, I win I winnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!! Oh trust me, I could continue to talk to myself.

But at least my browser looks more like what I'm used to, FINALLY!

[SweetSunshine]

Here ya go, its in Community Feedback and Vision if you need to refer back to it sometime down the road

Tab Mix Plus for Firefox

[Christina86]

Yes! I have that one thankfully. It's awesomeness.

[SweetSunshine]

Well phooey , thought I was gonna get the trophy back for helpin ya! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol

[kimmydawn]

Oh this was SOOOO fun to read!!!

Christina, I hope that you have what you need now, and if you're still having some issues, just keep typing and we'll help when we have a moment to jump into the conversation.

There are a few of us that use FF and have been around the world with it so to speak.

KD

PS-Have you tried Opera?

[Christina86]

*hands Beth another trophy*

I am funny. I want more pretty add-ons. Actually, I'd LOVE to know what the add-ons my friend included actually DO. That would be GREAT.

Haven't tried Opera ... my head hurts.

[SweetSunshine]

But I see you truely do have the gift of gab, even when it comes to talking to yourself and I've never seen it written sooooo... eloquently? LOL

[Christina86]

Eloquently my butt. Love you too. lol

[SweetSunshine]

Takes the trophy lol Bows and says thanks Christina lol

Ohhh and HI KD!!! Nice to see you back!!

[SweetSunshine]

No not butt, eloquently lol

[Christina86]

Toooooooooo many buttons. ACK!

FEBE = ?? Too many options under my Tools menu. Seems like all the Add-ons have their own little option under there!

[Christina86]

So is anyone going to recommend more add-ons, or tell me what FEBE is? Or give the newbie some tips? My head hurts from using it... tooooooooo many options still, although prettier now to look at.

Christina, glad you managed to sort out your FF3...

I did have FF3 but it kept crashing continuously (within a minute of opening) every single time I opened the browser... I disabled add-ons... uninstalled add-ons and whatever else... no difference. So eventually I gave up on it and re-downloaded FF2, which works fine for me. In fact I tend to use Opera far more than FF now simply because I've got used to it because I used it until I thought of getting FF2, whereas before I very rarely used it.
