-- Tom | Link not working......  | | | Distinguished Member with 14,991 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: -71.45091, 42.27841 | | Just tested link - it works fine, try again. DNS finds ip address = 72.36.213.138 for cybercapital.org, so if your DNS is down, substitute the ip address for it along with the rest of the link following the ip address name.

-- Tom | great tips thanks | | | Distinguished Member with 14,991 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: -71.45091, 42.27841 | | Firefox keyboard shortcut to retrieve closed tabs here.
Caveat: May only work on FF 2.0 or later? I am using FF 1.5.0..3 on Ubuntu LiveCD 6.0.6 and it does not work, so I haven't been able to use it, but that should not prevent you from trying it to see if it works on your later FF version.

To use it on a PC (with XP), try CTRL-SHIFT-T and it will bring back the last tab you closed. Multiple CTRL-SHIFT-T's will bring back the next oldest tab you closed.
Not sure if it works with FF 1.5x or Linux.

#12 | Awesome! I knew about the "config.trim_on_minimize" option, but I learned that all this info is stored in the prefs.js text file (similar to Netscape back in the day...)
Now I can edit everything with notepad! | | | Distinguished Member with 9,752 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Pittsburgh, PA Experience: Mac Addict |
