Try switching to the default FF theme. Some of the previous themes from FB don't work with FF. It seems odd that they failed to mention that.

FireFox 0.8 is out!

Filed under: — Mark @ 9:19 am

For those of you looking forward to a really nice browser, FireFox 0.8 is out to impress the world! It is a really fast browser, with a lot of really nice interface tweaks, every little bit of technology that has hit the market in the past few months and is shiny and polished. If you are worried about your bookmarks from Mozilla, simply go into your bookmark manager and export from Mozilla and then import in FireFox. It comes with its own installer (unlike older versions) and the browser is really slick. If you do not trust my judgement or have been IE bound for a long time, check it out for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised.
PS: If you have been having trouble downloading FireFox, try these mirror download sites for FireFox.

PS: While you are at it, if you are a web developer of any sort, make sure you download and install the web developer extensions for FireFox (works in Mozilla and Firebird as well). It is a gem of a tool!

  1. Thanks for the lead, however, I miss the scrollbar badly!! I cant find the scroll bar for the life of me, and dumbass that I am, i uninstalled firebird in a hurry. So no Scroll Bar for me, I have to use the arrow keys!
    I cant find the place to file a bug report either.

  2. I went in and checked it earlier, but everything seems alright at first glance.
    I did not change anything after dowloading it, so I dont know why this is the case. I downloaded and installed firefox thrice! and yet I have this strange problem. Never had the same problem with firebird.
