    I just today started using firefox 1.0. My question is, where on the options can I delete internet files, and other, like that on my I.E. ? I always everyday deleted offline content, and temp, files. I do not see where I can do this with firefox.
    Thanx Sonya :D

    preferences/advanced/cache

    On the top of the firefox tool bar on top of the page click on tools then preferences then advanced then cache and you have the option to clear the cache and history. I am telling you this from memory, if it is not on the advanced tab it will be on one of the others in options. but I think it is in the advanced tab under cache

    Bigbuck...
    I'm getting tired of this constant 1-2 exchange with JB...
    seriuosly speaking... are both of you 12 years old?
    I know JB is 15, but you seemed slightly older than him.
    C'mon man... find a new target!
    Crowd: *gasp*
    Thundering voice from the crowd: Blasphemy! There shall be no other but JB at the receiving end.... It has been pre-ordained.

    Portable Firefox works with CD and DVD drives too.

    What JB meant was that now even tho' you have FireFox, you still can use IE *just like before*... Many people are confused whether IE will get "damaged" and are apprehensive, but most separate browsers don't even touch IE.

    Do not want to sound like a party pooper, but is not tab browsing one of the selling points of firefox which has been highlighted many times before

    Sonya, Right click on any bookmark or link and you can choose; open in new tab....you can have as many open as you like and quickly flick between pages.

    Thanx everyone. :cool:
    Bigbuck, how did you get your bookmarks over to the left like that in the screen shot ? Sort of like I.E's favorites showed. Rite now, mine are when I click bookmarks at the top, and they all drop down.
    I am sorry for so many questions. But just to let you all know, i've learned so much here !
