Firefox

Wed Nov 10, 2004 8:49:01 AM #10225 Perm Link

I downloaded the new 1.0 release, and it is pretty good, but I do have some troubles with it.

The scrolling with my mouse wheel is way too slow, it is scrolling one line instead of three and I can't figure out where to change the option.
I can't find where to setup autocomplete in the location bar.
I have to click a window to focus, then click again to put the system caret in a text box.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

I've heard good things about it, but I like my Firebird just fine thank you.

Perhaps if they release newer versions they'll be more user-friendly.

I don't like how Firefox and other opensource projects think that it is better to have to go into config files to change settings.

If you want to change your mouse scroll wheel lines in Firefox:

Goto: about:config (Type that into the location or search bar).
mousewheel.withnokey.numlines should be set to 9 or so. This is the amount of lines.
mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines set to false.
