starship_troopers Posted December 26, 2009 CID Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hi, i use firefox 3.5.6 and typing apostrophes (') will sometimes work while posting a reply, but most of the time it will pop up with a "quick link search" down at the bottom of the page and im not sure why. i cant seem to find any options on my end, maybe i overlooked something but cant seem to figure it out. (i got that apostrophe by copying it from a different window and pasting it). thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted December 26, 2009 CID Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm still using 3.0.16. I had problems with the 3.5 so I went back. You might want to consider doing that. EDIT: You can get older versions at Filehippo.com http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted December 27, 2009 CID Share Posted December 27, 2009 Did not like chrome. It slowed down too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted December 27, 2009 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2009 Did not like chrome. It slowed down too much. i agree about not liking chrome...i just dont like the layout of it. so i didnt use it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted December 27, 2009 CID Share Posted December 27, 2009 Did not like chrome. It slowed down too much. How did it slow down? And have you tried the newest version? 1 and 2 sucked on memory usage, but 3 is better then all the other windows browsers I've tried, its faster then anything else on windows. The 4 beta is even faster. i agree about not liking chrome...i just dont like the layout of it. so i didnt use it much. Well the minimal browser interface is where they are all going. The new thing is going to be to strip the browser to make it lightweight and faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zalternate Posted December 28, 2009 CID Share Posted December 28, 2009 When I posted some news items last week, about a dozen words throughout the article paired up when the one next to it. And I am not sure if one article tried to pull some info from the source code of the page. But might of been the invisible ad section. Well they are invisible to me anyways. Using FireFox 3.5.6 I didn't like Google Chrome cause of that damn updater nonsense. And all those ad's on webpages. Or can you shut off the updater manually yet? And whatever else it does. I have a copy of Opera, but only as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
