MSN Messenger and Firefox

[starrylizard]

OK, so I recently switched to using Firefox rather than Explorer and I love the tab thing etc. Anyway, it was bugging me that when messenger alerts me to a new hotmail message, it will only open in Explorer when you click on it. So, I sent an email asking if there was a way around this.

The first reply:

A bit later, as promised, I received a second response from Hotmail:

Bah! So it looks like it isn't possible. Unless there's an add-on or something. Anyone know of one?

Oooh! You're a crazy fic100 person. I didn't know that. How cool is that? I got the whole webpage. :D

[lark_ascends]

Yep. I celtic_sky mentioned it, trying to get people to talk her out of doing it, instead I decided to do it myself and talked her into it! :-D

Ah!!! So cool!!! The tab mixer one allows you to close mozilla with multiple tabs open, reopen it and they all reload!!! An absolute saver for me, who usually has at least 6 tabs open.

Okay, I'm going to stop playing and start working on my proposals again.

I just signed up for alphabetasoup. That way I'll only have to write 26 fics and I like their spark words. I figured that was a goal I might manage. :D

OK so I'm getting the tab mixer one. That sounds like the most useful one.

[lark_ascends]

Well, I figure I'll get to 100 eventually, I've got about 11 so far, and it's openended on the time to do it, so I'll do it.

With the tab mixer, it might be useful to get one (which I think is on the third page of popular add-ons) which puts a close button on each tab. Because the close isn't the last one on the right click list anymore.

Did I mention that the ad-blockers are probably useful?

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Um I just got tab mix plus. I couldn't find anything called tab mixer. Is that the same thing? I think I may already have adblocker. I can't remember.

[lark_ascends]

Yep, I think that was it. Was in the first three pages of the popular bit. Just make sure you change things in the settings for it, which you'll find under tools, and apply, because then everything initialises.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

OK. Can't find anything that "puts a close button on each tab" though?

[lark_ascends]

So, I can't count, it was on page 4 ;-P

Oh you're right. That is useful! I'm always annoyed that I have to open the tab to close it, so to speak. *grins*
I'll let you work or whatever. Goodnight. :D

[lark_ascends]

Bah! Still not receiving some comments via email.

I'm really liking the add-ons.

I got a card games one, just because I love card games. Haven't had a chance to play it though.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Card games! *wishes her memory wasn't already pushed to the extreme*
