I'm new to Firefox and have a really newbie basic question, how do I set Firefox as my default browser when opening links?
If you open up a link in Firefox it should be in a Firefox browser. Make sure Firefox is listed as your default browser.

Go to Tools -> Options -> General, then click the checkbox to check if it is the default browser, plus hit the "Check Now" button. It should fine

I feel like mozilla can be so annoying sometimes especially if it freezes; all your tabs will be closed!

If you want to watch pictures in your local HD with FF (easily and with preview and slideshow) , then Mozimage https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/168/ is right choice for you. E.g. I watch comics with this add-on.

Have you tried the extension FoxMarks? It lets you sync your bookmarks to multiple computers (e.g. work computer and home computer). It's even easier than emailing it to yourself to re-load!

There are a lot of posts here, so forgive me if I am repeating anything but I tried my best to find something similar but couldnt.

"Ctrl+T" will open a new tab

"Ctrl+W" will close the current tab

Hold Shift+ MouseWheel Scrolling Scroll down goes back, scoll up goes forward.

Thats all, oh and btw, Opera is a cool browser for Super Geek like Ultra Work Fast kind of people. But to be honest, I have found that IMHO Firefox loads pages faster than Opera, Opera, lags a bit before acting on information However Opera displays images a tad bit crispier

oh and I almost forgot, if you ever find yourself bored in front of your desk!

Its a firefox extension, that is updated by its users on "interesting" websites. Try it.

I respect all members, you should respect all members too! When you are considerate of others, most of the time others are considerate of you! So lets work together to make a better community, better understandings, and an overall feeling of respect.

Ive been having some issues with my connection while using Mozilla. Every once and a while for 10 seconds or so, my packets freeze. I know this might be considered a connection issue and less mozilla but its pissing me off cuz the websites need to be "reset" every so often. Does it have to do with port fowarding?
