I am looking for an alternative. Firefox screwed up tabs with version 29. (The ergonomics are horrible for me.) Now, I find that they are about to remove tab groups which I use heavily. I have used Firefox since version 0.9something. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

I hope I fixed this

Hi Everybody, Verizon sold (gave) its email biz to AOL. I was not getting list emails, actually since Ed's new server. I set up Profox as a contact in my new AOL account. Maybe that will do it . . . -- Regards, Pete https://www.facebook.com/pete.theisen.5

Looks like there is a like-for-like add-on (which you can install pre-v45 for continuity), also a tree format add-on (although I thought there was a long-term plan afoot for *all* browsers to stop add-ons/plug-ins?). Also I have found that leaving multiple tabs open leads to PC performance degradation suggestive of a slow memory leak. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/*tab*-*groups*-removal On 16/02/2016 00:49, Gene Wirchenko wrote: > Dear Vixens and Reynards: > > I used to use the latest version of Firefox.

Hi Gene: If you have a problem with some CSS in Firefox, why don't you report it so they fix it? About tabs, I don't see them as a problem, old ones looked better, but it's just a cosmetic issue El 15/2/2016 20:22, "Gene Wirchenko" <genew(a)telus.net> escribió: > Dear Vixens and Reynards: > > I used to use the latest version of Firefox.

DBF Compare
by Richard Caruso 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

I was wondering if anybody new of a Table Comparison utility. I wrote a Fox2x utility a while back that compares two folders and generates reports on structure & index differences (i.e. Filename, Field Name, Field Type, Field Width, Error, where Error could be Field not found in Source or Field Width not equal, etc.). It doesn't work for VFP Tables as of yet and don't have time to debug it as I'm working on a deadline. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

I find myself using Chrome more than anything else - it is cross-platform and seems to remain light and fast even with plugins. You might want to minimize the 'phoning home' aspects. http://www.howtogeek.com/100361/how-to-optimize-google-chrome-for-maximum-p… -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm

[NF] A Good Browser?
by Gene Wirchenko 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Dear Vixens and Reynards: I used to use the latest version of Firefox. With version 29.0, Mozilla screwed up the tabs horribly. I upgraded back to 28.0 and have been running that version since. Recently, I have started working for a company with a WordPress site. I have had trouble with the CSS. Thinking that it might be a browser issue, I decided to try a later version of Firefox, that being 44.0.2. The CSS problem was still there so I will probably have to look elsewhere for the cause of the problem (unless the problem is common to both Firefox versions). HOWEVER, the tabs are as bad as ever, and apparently, tab groups are about to be removed in version 45. I use tab groups heavily. (STOMP, STOMP, STOMP!) So, my question is: What browser do you recommend and why? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Well, I got the same answer back again from Verizon. I have replied in the past their are no spam issues, nor is my IP address dynamically assigned, but they really don't care it seems.
