At the moment, the plan is for each tab to operate on its own thread (as will each frame). Each tab is on a separate thread, and the frame is also on its own thread. Schreiner admitted that this would boost the memory footprint of IE, but argued that it would allow the browser to "feel faster and provide an overall better user experience".
:confused: Surely that'd be slow as hell, even on a fairly new machine.

ummm, I don't know is this the right place for this, but I'll ask this here anyway?

My Firefox just let me down or something. Now, when I try to open it, it asks for a profile or something? I can't select default since it gives me crap that "it's already running". I don't know what to do, please help out the innocent and stupid one. :angel:

    It means there is a lockfile in your profile directory which makes Firefox think it's already running. Since I don't use Windows I don't know exactly where it is but I would guess c:\Documents and settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default*
    In there there's a file called lock, just remove it.

    Firefox has this facility that impresses me each time I use it. For example, if I just type major league soccer in the address bar, it redirects me straight to the MLS website. That means that they have an a script (I think) that takes you straight to the first google result.

    My question is can one be redirected to the second google result et al and how?

    Did you see the new google feature called Hello? That is something I want to test, if you feel like some troubleshooting you know where to sign in.

    In Firefox, there's a little box on the top right. It'll have a little symbol on the left. If that isn't the google G, click on it to get a dropdown menu and select google. That bar is now a google search bar. Type Major league soccer there and hit enter, and it will bring you to a google search results page for that.

    Dont really like Firefox, I use Netscape myself. I guess I'm just used to it by now, I've used it for several years. Never used IE really.

    ..

    I'm getting IE pop-ups all the time, eventhough i dont use IE. I'm using Firefox. I had this problem before, somehow it came back again to haunt me. I think its because i deleted the Yahoo Companion crap thing, but not sure of it.

    Any suggestions guy?

    Firefox is the bomb! and I'm using this new (i think it's new) anti-spyware program called "Kaspersky". It's really good.
    Do you know where can i find Kaspersky to download from for free? :)
