the browser with the email client etc. is it free?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Mozilla is the suite with all the applications, web, email, chat etc. Yes, it's all free.

 

[Layce Erayce]

I didnt know it had a chat client too.

And something that pisses me off about Mozilla- its obvious people will be asking for private accounts that can be accessed with help of a password. Why not just do it? I mean with the universal-password-option-thingy, the mail client, etc....

common sense isnt it?

 

[Martin]

Yeah but the chat client is kinda sucky, I've never used it (or needed it), in fact today I found a way to get just the browser out of that package.

Well it does have that already. You can set up different user profiles, go to Tools > Switch profile to see that option. I believe it should also prompt you for that on the very first startup.

 

[Layce Erayce]

yeah but its not password protected. anyone can get in and use my user profile

u have to go to Tools -> Switch Profiles, then click "Manage Profiles" IIRC. There should be an option there to add a password to your profile.

13 reasons to use Mozilla Firefox over IE

 

[Layce Erayce]

nope no option gray.

 

[Martin]

gray, I just found the most brilliant extension. There are so many that it's impossible to try them all. But this one is beautiful, you can set it up so that it changes tabs on mouseover.

It's called "Tabbrowser Extensions"

 

[Layce Erayce]

is there a hidden hyperlink in ur post or something? where do i look at these extensions?

 

[Martin]

Actually that's a weak point, there are lots of them but they're not necessarily that easy to find. I installed an extension that makes it easy to install new ones

Theoretically, they should be here: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/main.php
But the mozilla sites are so popular (or poorly run ) that they're often down or very slow.

EDIT: I found the extension: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/tbe

 

[Layce Erayce]

right. i can scan the site and google. all i want is an integrated download manager, a password so that my dad cant see the porn im viewing, i want to use the mozilla email client and install a password for that too. and get funkadelic skins.

shouldnt be that hard should it?

 

[Martin]

The download manager in Mozilla isn't very good, however Fiirefox has a brand new one you can try. I guess that one might make its way into Mozilla sometime in the near future. For password protection, do you run Windows 2000/XP? Because those are systems designed for multiple accounts, there you can log into Windows and pass protect your account. Otherwise, that might be tricky, I don't recall seeing a browser that has pass protected accounts.. :undecide:

 

[Layce Erayce]

i use windows 2000/NT. i thought that since mozilla had user profiles they might as well have passwords et al. ill keep my eyes peeled for the foxy fire.

btw what time is it there?

 

[Martin]

I don't think Firefox even has user profiles thou..

05:49

 

[Layce Erayce]
