A quick thumbs up tor Google's Chrome from me. Not only does it open multiple websites at the same time (I have 4 sites listed as my start page, it opens each in a different tab), it also spell checks as you type, and has one feature I haven't seen in any other browser ... if you use a computer at work and another at home, it will sync anything you add to your bookmarks (favorites) so that you have them in both locations.

While I agree it is a little buggy, I drive it pretty hard and it only occasionally crashes on me, usually due to a third party app like Shockwave or something.

I use Firefox and I used to have it to where it opened multiple pages on startup, but I got the new version and no can't figure out how to do it.

Any help?

Hi Toni,
I found it under Firefox preferences in the 'Firefox' menu on Mac. Not sure where it is on windows based system but I'd look for the word preferences.

Tony, Click the Firefox button, then Options. Under the General tab you will see a box for Home Page.  If you want to open multiple pages on start-up in separate tabs separate the pages with the | ( shift \\ )

Example if you wanted CycleFish,Google and Yahoo to open in three tabs when you start Firefox, enter...

http://www.cyclefish.com|http://www.google.com|http://www.yahoo.com

Hope that helps.

Thanks Lucky, updated mine but can't tell the difference because my wireless connection is slow anyway :)

Dang Lucky...it's awesome to have a built in expert with all this "puter" stuff. I am a "techie-tard", and your tutorials and suggestions are so easy to follow. Most people who've tried to show me stuff, get frustrated and walk away cause I'm not "getting it". Cool thing is, with YOU...I "GET IT"!!!

Yeah and he can't just "walk away" either.

Hey all does ff have a privacy browsing or incagnito mode. Also can you send a web link directly to your email program w/o copy & pasting it. Im not home now to try it but wanted to ask before i do. Using a tablet with no spell check lol so fogive the misspelling lol. Thanks guys

Joey, Firefox does have advance private browse setting that doesn't record any of the sites you visit in "browser history"

To email a link in Firefox (or most browsers for that matter) all you need to do is click and hold a link on any webpage and drag it to an email message. Basically reduce the size of your browser window so its not full screen. Open a new email message so you can see both windows at once and then just drag the link into the email and drop it.

I've been using Chrome for a month or two. Was using IE due to the company I work for has it as the standard and its there laptop. But it became more slow as they started to lock it down and add restrictions. Since most of my work is web based this added hours of time to each day. So some of us started to us Chrome and have switched except when the were required to. The reason and this is the kicker is some of our internal search engines work best and where developed for Chrome then ported to IE. Chrome has been working out ok so far as I'm view this site now using Chrome.

Thanks for the reply, i have been using cromeznx for the most part it works ok. Didnt realize i could drag the web link. I like the private browser part as well fo credit cardand bank stuff.
Thanks again. Great site.
