Was a bit disappointed that I couldn't get view magnifier (doesn't work with Firefox 1.0)
Great info on the site, too

Hmmm...Using that link, I read for a while and found this http://popfile.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl
It's supposed to stop spam in your e-mail.
Know anything about it?

Your welcome Carolyn. Got me a new mouse and it lets me zoom in and out of things so it's cool. But for Netscape using the ctrl+ or ctrl- works better then the mouse and you can go in or out more then what the mouse will do.

There is lots of things I can do on this new logitech MX 1000 Laser mouse.
Love the scroll wheel the also lets you scroll from side to side.

Nice have all this after using a 3 button mouse for 8 years.
Hard getting used to get but I am loving it. The zoom and the 4 way scroll is great for working on images and that was the main reason I got it. PLus the MX Laser MX1000 delivers a new pinnacle of performance no optical mouse can match. With an incredible 20x more sensitivity to surface detail—or tracking power—than optical, laser can track reliably even on tricky polished or wood-grain surfaces. And the MX1000 offers even more advanced features that will make you more productive and more comfortable.

Not cheap at $79.95 but hey look at how much I use a mouse so I will get lots of miles out of it still.

What is this site: http://firefoxie.net/ ???

Mozilla's own seems good: http://www.andkon.com/stuf/mozillabl...customize.html

http://www.customize.org/list/firefox
from: http://www.customize.org/ guess this is d/l's that can be used to customize various programs? Haven't dabbled in this too much...

An older site that gives easy overview: http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/...1/firefox.html

Found this blogline regarding FF: http://www.bloglines.com/preview?siteid=487

These seem good too:
