FAQ
Why is my Firefox window bouncing?
This is a bug and it is caused by your 'Bookmark Toolbar' being empty. You can either add a bookmark to it by drop and dragging a link on the toolbar or you can hide this toolbar via 'View->Toolbars->Bookmark Toolbar'.

What happend to the pictures and page style?
Simply press two buttons 'Ctrl+F5', this clears the cache for that page.

Are you sure it is spyware? It could easily be Cookies. Cookies are harmless. Cheers!

Use opera biggrin.gif

Im FF fanboy too, but my comp only have 512mb memory(ddr1 266mhz) sweat.gif
i cant always use FF becoz i always using msvc 2005 or gcc,
this 2 apps can use up alot of system/virtual memory,
they will "push" the FF system memory to virtual memory,
and thus degraded FF performance shakehead.gif

Is there any way i can expand the bookmarks toolbar to two line?

okay..i liked firefox..see the past tense there..the newer version (i dun notice since when), the toolbar button, even clicked will just stay there and wont roll out, especially the bookmark! Then, it is very slow nowadays..eats ton of memory..i once made firefox to eat 3.5GB of memory (2.5GB of swap disk!!). Massive small flash site, on multiple tabs, see the lagginess.

Plus sum more, lots of javascript just dun werk..for example, lyn my assistant, sum other js i just cannot recall.

now using opera..i just dun like one thing..one massive thing..i like firefox opening tab in background, ctrl+click, opera is like ctrl+shift+click..
