Not what I want at all. Oh well, > something else to sort out, Neil My bad, forgot I've probably recommended it to you already. You're going to need to roll your sleeves up then, and "fix" it yourself - let me introduce you to a page I've spent *way* too long on over the years: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries I guess you already knew how to open the advanced settings of Firefox with about:config in a new tab: all* of the actual settings are defined here. If you filter the page for "tab" you'll have a lot of options to customise to your heart's content. I have no idea if you'll actually find what you're looking for in there, but if they exist anywhere, the options you want will be there. Also, I'm going to have to call you on dissing the Mozilla devs just like everyone else out there. You are welcome to write your own standards compliant, fully featured, open and extensible cross-platform browser whenever you like! I'll wait for the results. Until you've finished, I'll happily continue using Firefox, which although it may not be perfect, is by far the best browser currently available by a country mile. Of course constructive grumbles about open source projects are valid to a certain extent but the amount of scorn, vitriol and general abuse the Firefox devs get is truly amazing considering just what they're providing. For free. Oh noes! The user interface has a tiny little change every few months and I have to learn to click slightly differently! Someone call the UN! *rolls eyes* Hell, if you don't like it, you're welcome to apply for a receipt: I'm sure Mozilla will be more than happy to return every penny you've paid them for their top class browser :] Cheers * well, most... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
