Emne: IE7 & Firefox 2.0
Well both new browsers are released.

I first used IE7, and I like the tabs & the tab preview page where you can see all the open tabs. But I hated that IE7 put other icons in the same row as the tabs, leaving less room for visible tabs - with a lot of "empty" above it, with no real way to move things around and make 2 rows of stuff, instead of 3 - to make more room for the page. So like the addition of tabs, but the setup bugs me.

Firefox 2 - I'm using it now, and cool - it has a spell check as I write, and it looks like I misspelled "visable" above - so I will correct it now by right clicking and choosing the correct one. Firefox allows me to move the menu & buttons all around - allowing me to have the menu, then next to that the "search" menu - under that the back,reload buttons - and then a longer address bar. I love how much control it has.

BUT NO! Firefox has messed up the tabs (well at least for me). First the [X] to close the tab is now on each tab, instead of just 1 [X] to the right to close the open tab. I liked it before since it allowed more room on the tab to display the title.

BUT NO (part 2) Firefox has messed up the tabs by now not allowing a lot (about 20-25) to be shown, and now after about 15 open tabs, it starts to "scroll" them so you can see all the open tabs at the same time. I normally have between 12-15 open tabs at a time. But now when I open more, UGH - Just don't like it.

But with Firefox, hopefully there will be an add-on that will make the tabs look like Firefox 1.5x

OK, those are my opinions of the new browsers. Just thought I would share.

BIG BAD WOLF: I have been using Firefox 2.0 since the 24th when it was released. If you want to change the Tab closing back to how it was, have a look HERE, it tells you how to
hexkid found it as he wanted to do the same, they may have the answer to your other question on more Tabs at the same Forum, or i guess you could post there and get an answer.

MadMonkey: Thanks - that helps. Now to search for how to increase the max number of tabs that show on a page before it starts to scroll.

This is why I like firefox - there are a few things I don't like about it, but I know there are ways to fix/change it. With IE, you will have to wait until the next version.

MadMonkey: Plus I found the answer to my other question

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.tabMinWidth


Can change the width to fit more tabs in the tab strip before scrolling.

Setting of 50 is good (default 100) - instead of 12 tabs, I can fit 24 before scrolling - which occasionally when doing research, I can at times get up to that many tabs.

BIG BAD WOLF: Thank you for fishing that tabMinWidth setting for me :)

With my setting (screenshot), I found out I can close tabs with a middle click on the tab (just like if it had the close button there too) -- I find myself closing tabs this way a lot of times!

hexkid: I believe you could always by default close a tab by middle clicking on the tab - I never done that, which is why it was a pain when that right X was missing to close a tab.

What I love about Firefox - like in your screenshot, you have a lot of "empty" space next to the "File-Edit-View-....Help" menu - I've moved the back,forward,reload,...Home buttons up to the left of the menu, then moved up the address bar to the right of "help" (removed the search since I just go to google if I need to search) - and now everything is in one line, leaving even more room for the web page to display.
