yeah, <.bgsound.> tags are IE-only, so all the people who use macs, linux, or alternative browsers like ff or opera cant hear the music. technically, HTML calls for <.object.> tags for things like that, but I think <.object.> tags dont work with IE. try: <.embed src="https://proxy.mind-media.com/proxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skultamaphon.com%2Finsanity%2520end.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true" "0" "0".> (be sure to take out the periods before/after the < >) I tried that code in dreamweaver & it played in firefox. lemme know if it works for you. peace

I used to use Firebrid, however, Something screwed up. I'm using WIn XP home, and I ran into so many problems. The sad part was I was using it for months and fell in love with it. These problems are rather recent (two or so weeks old) but I don't understand them. For example, with any MOzilla product, firebird, fox, normal mozilla etc. I run into a problem where links do not function properly. For example you know how the 'title' artibute in the A tag normaly displays as a tooltip -- EQ thread summaries. What it does is instaead of hoevering it will hover for an instant an change back to its normal state. This I can live with. The next problem was has I normaly have a few links in the cache. For example, when I hit the down arrorw on the address bar and it returns populated with some recent websites you visted. Well I have that and I see the sites however when I select one it refreshes the page I was on rather than changing. Also, bookmarks stoped working. Eventualy they dissappeard. I've unstalled all instances of Mozilla products and tried a restall and still nothing, I even unstalled Netscape which was giving me simular problems. I tried using IE for a second, but this was a bad move. I'm using opera now for the tabbed browsing, but shit, since it is hear does anyone have any advice on how I get my problems fixed or where to look... I'm thinking mozilla.org Btw, Opera is holding up Ok. I used it for awhile a long time back but I stuck with IE a little while longer than I moved to Mozilla, and firebird and all that.. I miss it, I would take fireFox over Opera anyday.

Oh, and Xochitl, what do those edits do? They're really excellent!
well, when developers build browsers they often set them to render/paint pages at a slower rate in order to make things appear more "continuous." Ideally, they want pages to load all at once. But what this means is, you'll see a blank page for longer while elements are being downloaded. Alot of people think thats dumb and counter-productive/intuitive. Essentially, those tweaks I posted get rid of (or minimize) the default delays.
A few of the other tweaks just speed downloading up.
Enabling pipelining means that the browser will fetch all the elements of a page with a single connection, rather than one connection per element. This is a good thing

hmm using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 preview tags work fine & stay up as long as I sustain the mouse-over. Not sure why Mozilla products do that for ya.

Odd. I know with previous builds, the bookmark manager was all screwy, but 0.8 seems to work quite well in my opinion. Have you tried configuring your tabs so that all history opens up in a new background tab? I have mine set like that & I report no problems.

Have you deleted your user profile? It's in a separate location than the general program files. Deleting that fucker usually solves most weirdo-installation problems. The profile is usually in the WINDOWS directory.

Ok 45 minutes later and I love FireFox. Very fast. Noticably larger viewing space. Everything is at your fingertips. I like how you can edit the toolbars to add and move features. It took me a while to find the tabs option... view/toolbars/customize but I configured everything else while I looked for it. And I am already writing a review. I've used IE forever. I try new browsers hoping they'll stack up but until now, I didn't think anything would surpass it. So far, fireFox does. Thanks

i've had the firebird(?)/fox for a little bit now, finally got firefox
my main purpose with it was just for when i had to log into blackboard at my school, since for some reason blackboard always showed empty in IE
then IE gave me another gay problem with animated gifs would never .. animate
so i've switched to firefox for now.. the only complaint i have though is the mouse scrolling i've seen the 2 options for smooth/auto scrolling but i don't think they did much noticable difference.. what i wanna know howto edit is how i can press down on my scroll bar and drag it and it goes up to the top of a post instantly, i was able to do this in IE but in firefox it seems forever to scroll to the top w/o touching the scrollbar or pressing page up.. and i'm too lazy to do that, i miss using my scroll bar also the scrolling only works in a post if youre typing in it, you cant click the website and scroll in that.. or is this just me? anyways, i'm not very fond of these scrolling problems, any ways around this?
my comp managed to crash firefox a couple times yesterday too, while searching for new themes

and some sites that are only tested with IE will only work on IE, because it doesn't follow standards.
I know that's how a lot of our sites come out...
customers require 5.x and 4.7x support and unless you are using those two flavors, your fuct, especially if you are using a standards compliant browser, because everything has to be bastardized and hacked to shit to work on those two browser platforms.

Theres going to be a revolution, and the standards will be followed. People are getting fed up with IE being so full of holes. I no longer support IE whatsoever. If IE looks wrong when I make a page, I will include a short explanation why that is so.

I've tried all of this. Also, the link problems seem to be a recent occurance, because I was using firebird for several months without any troubles. Just one day it started. I don't remember what day it was. Anyway, I noticed the bookmarks have magicaly started working again with FireFox, however, all the other problems are still there.
