is it possible to set up multiple homepages for when ff starts up?

Submitted by punkbohemian on July 16, 2008 - 11:53am

Everytime I start firefox, I don't just start with a homepage, I have to open 4 more tabs for other pages that I'm on every time I get online. I was wondering if it was possible to set up ff so that every time I log in, it could automatically open other tabs to the various pages. I know that you can preserve your session when you close, but my sessions tend to end on sites different from where they began, so that wouldn't work so well. Any ideas? Thanks.

Flash out of the box?

Submitted by crux on July 15, 2008 - 9:05am

I just installed FFP 2.0.0.14 and 2.0.0.15 onto my USB stick. Flash functions perfectly from those installations, even though I did not download the Flash player plugin.

I am guessing this has something to do with the remote Flash installation. Is there some way I can: 1) prevent Firefox from using the local Flash and 2) ensure that I will be able to use Flash on other computers that do not have it locally installed.

I noticed that some parts of the firefox support page are out of date with FF3, such as:
Mailto Note: Mailto links are not controlled by Firefox's mimetypes setup, so this has no effect on being able to click on an email link and launching Thunderbird. Firefox simply passes mailto links to Windows and has it open the default mail client.
Which is now not true.

Very very slow

Firefox has become very slow. I have made fresh install.
Also I have disabled session store, cache and anti-phishing. Atill firefox is freezing momentarily even while changing tab.

I have switched from Opera to firefox only because Opera9.51 was slow. But it is same here also.
Opera used to consume 30 to 40 MB memory but firefox is consuming more than 100MB of RAM.

I have portable and want to use it at school or a local library but it cannot pick up the proxy. How do I change the settings so that it will automatically select the proxy? Please provide full instructions. Thanks
