Mozilla Firefox....

[Bonnie Campbell]

Anyone else use this? I have problems with mine not letting me use an apostrophe in postings. Is there anyway to shut off the keyboard short cuts so I quit having a "Find" box pop up instead of an apostrophe?

Thanks for any assistance you can offer!

I've been using it for a long time with no issue. There was one version where what you described was happening a lot, but it went away during a subsequent update. Be sure you have the most current version.

Which version of Firefox are you using?:)

[Bonnie Campbell]

Checked and it was a 1.5 something. Checked for updates, none available. But when I went to their site version 2 was available, so I updated to it. Thanks for the assist. '''''''''' it works now lol

Be sure to turn on auto-update and Firefox will keep itself (and any add-ins) current for you. V2 has been out for some time now.

I've typed this with no problem. Using FF 1.5.0.9 (latest version in the 1.5 branch, which is still being updated until they make 2.x an automatic update).

My Firefox 1.5.?.? did not automatically upgrade to 2.0.0.1. I had to go on the Mozilla site and download it from there. Other upgrades had always worked with the auto update, but not 2.0.

using F2.0.0.1 I think it is the greatest browser to hit the net.

A question for you linux users. And yes I guess I'm hijacking this thread. How do you folks resize your photo's for posting on the web? I have been using Susa for a # of years now and haven't found a way to post my photo's using this operateing system. I am on the regular mozilla browser.

Rick I think Firefox will automatically update for all minor updates(mostly bug fixes). The jump from 1.5 to 2 is a major version difference, so it is left to the user to make that decision, since there are so many noticable differences in program interface, etc.

I have been using Susa for a # of years now and haven't found a way to post my photo's using this operateing system. I am on the regular mozilla browser. I usually resize photos with Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/). It is a full featured photo editor that can do much more than resizing too. There is even a windows version of the program.
I haven't had a need to post images to this board yet, so I'm not sure about the site specifics.
But one site I have found useful for uploading images is http://imageshack.us you can upload as many images as you want(less than 1.5MB each) for free. There is even an option for imageshack to resize the image for you! :D

For just quick resizing znd cropping I use GThumb (http://gthumb.sourceforge.net). For more detailed work I use Gimp.

Thanks, Hans & Robert, for the replies. I have been thinking about upgrading to a newer version of linux. I have had repeated problems uploading updates and stuff like the gimp help section. I do get the OS updates but haven't been able to fix the problems. I usually call my friend who is a linux programmer for help but even he has been mystified by the lack of performance. Looks like it's the time to do a major box overhaul. Just one more comment, I had to go online with xp the other day and couldn't believe how sloooowwww it was compared to linux.

Paul, I;ve been using Ubuntu. http://www.ubuntu.com/

They have a good list of compatable hardware and a pretty good support forum. I've been using it for several months now. I've converted My Sister, 1nephew, 1 niece and my brother.

You know, two days after this thread started, My FF browser ran a automatic update to 2.0.0.2. ever since then everytime I click a link in a email sent to me (using Outlook 2003) It first opens a File window labled, Locate Link Browser, and then 5 sec later it opens my browser. I assume it Is FF since it's the only software installed or upgraded recently. Any one else have this problem?

tim.

[Jim Becker]

I don't have that problem with 2.0.0.2, Tim. The only issues I've experienced is occasional lockup of FF when the Adobe reader fires up to display a file.

[Tim Wagner]

Found the work around for it. In case anyone runs into the same problem as I...
