Oh boy! LOOK, folks! The pommy bastard got bored with his miniscule dick and decided to spoof folks that put him in his pathetic place... again.
You are an immature little bitch that should take a dirt nap, boy.

Dang, for a second there I thought you had acquired a bit of sense, and maybe even civility. False alarm, and AlwaysWrong to the end.

The Firefox addons are usually free, so there are no paychecks!
Flashblock, FireFTP, and InFormEnter are great.

Found out how to get the most recent tab specific history list, just right click on the forware or back ions and it's there. If anything better than 3. Use that a lot here.
Still has memory leak problems. Started out at around 70 Mbytes and after an hour or so, 140 Mbytes, then came in this morning after it had run all night with no activity and it was 290 Mbytes. Has now settled down to around 180 Mbytes. I don't understand why they can't fix this problem, which dates back to early versions of Netscape. Dynamic allocation and just not deallocationg after use, or is it all in C++ and a garbage collection fault ?...

Adblock+ and NoScript here. Handles just about everything...

My Fox4 starts at about 80M and has crept up to 405. Maybe it's using lots of ram, real or virtual, for caching. If it was a leak, things would eventually break, which it doesn't seem to do.

I use Foxit Reader. I've not seen any problems with it yet.

You can also customize the toolbar and add a history button.

Perhaps you are right, but don't understand why it's so memory hungry. It's currently at ~180 Mbytes, with 3 tabs open and seems to have stabilised at that level. The v3 ff running on the solaris machine shows size of ~300 Mbytes, with 150 resident, from prstat. That's been running for weeks, if not months. Thuderbird shows size 300, 160 resident, which isn't much better.
On windows, there's probably something in the registry to set per process limit before swap / paging, but that might break FF completely...

Roger Foxit, and CutePDF for making files. CutePDF is so fast that, first time you use it, you'll think it's broken. It's not broken, it's done.
Acrobat is bloated garbage.

With GB's of memory, who cares? I have a separate machine for E-mail, Skype, Firefox and general "communication". Separate machines for PSpice. ...Jim Thompson

I got Cute PDF and tried it. You're right. It works beautifully. Thanks for the hint.
John
Yup, and _free_. Every machine I set up gets it installed. It's especially useful on netbooks and such like.
I much prefer PDF-XChange and PDF-Creator. They're compatible with more software and PDF-XChange produces better output, IMO.
Does it operate as a browser plugin, or only stand alone?
-- You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-Aid? on it, because it's Teflon coated.
I use it standalone, and do the Windows association to ".PDF" files. Works fine on regular disk files or with files downloaded in Firefox.
John
I use it as standalone. I hate the adobe plugin, and searched high and low for a non-plugin. Also had a Big job of eradicating Adobe from the system.
I just installed it and thought that it was broken. It WAS done.

I have Adobe installed, because some form-fill-in PDF files need it. I must use it a couple of times per year.

Have you noticed any websites that won't allow you to fill SOME boxes with Firefox, but work with IE? I have one (Aeroplan) that does that.. doesn't work with either FF 3.x or 4.0.
