Just got Mozilla Firefox and.....

My question is two-fold.

1) Is there a setting on Mozilla Firefox that can open multiple windows in one "window?"

and...

2) Is there a downloadable spell checker that works within Mozilla Firefox? (Because my spelling is really bad.) My ieSpell is not showing up in the right click like it was in other browsers.

Your help is appreciated.

 

There is a setting that will allow you to open multiple "tabs" in one browser window. To do so, right click on the tool bar (ie next to the address bar) and click "customize". From the dialog box that appears, you can drag and drop new buttons onto this bar. One of which is the new tab button. You can also open new tabs by right clicking on a link, and clicking "Open link in new tab"

There may be a spell checker built in, but I'm not sure of it. I would explore through the menus. If that fails you might want to check through the extensions on mozilla.org. There's MANY new features there that you can add to Firefox.

Enjoy your browsing!

Oh, and I do like helping those I can from time to time!

 

Ahh, well nobody can know everything, but knowing where to find out is a valuable asset. I was trained in school to be constantly adding to my "toolbox" of resources, and major geeks is a purty good one!

Thank you TheeFool.

This will definitely solve my problem as far as my horrid spelling (as I have already checked it out and downloaded it).http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

 

Woot. I've been using Firefox for 6 months and didn't know that! Thanks

 

That is what I love about this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!

 

No problem, I've been downloading nightlies since 0.2 was out. Back then it was called phoenix, then firebird, and then firefox. Some info:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/0.2.html

I don't know everything, but I have been using it for a few years.

 

Was that "nighlies" or "nighties?" LOL!

However, Mozilla FireFox is everything you all said it would be and more. Just needs tweaking!

I would reccomend it to all who ask. Now that I've been educated!

 

You could tweak firefox with FireTune 1.06
