I thought the whole point of a tabbed web browser was that you did not have
keep opening windows, you brought which tab to the front (clicked on it)
you wanted to focus on.

Right click to open a link in a new tab. Close tabs as required

That was a really dumb idea.

Please, for the love of God, run back to Windows now. It's just easier
that way for us all.

No, there's a couple of complete news *servers* for Mozilla and Netscape
stuff.

Bring it up in Google and you'll find information to the servers.

Windows is not the help for Todd. He obviously has not yet learned how
to use search engines (read: Google), Wikipedia, and how to find
relevant newsgroups and/or news servers.

Until he learns that it is much faster, and generally far more reliable
for information, he will continue to hang out in an alt newsgroup and
run to mommy for every little question he may have.

What bugs me the most is people who are too lazy to look something up
themselves, so they come begging and causing others to do their legwork.
Is Todd lazy, or is it he just needs more "pushing" toward the many
available resources?

My often-misunderstood remarks are not to condemn these people at all,
but to try and get them to realize there is a better way to do something.

It is up to them to choose what they will do.

Probably as hard as it is to find the Firefox newsgroup.
Try over on news.mozilla.org

You mean like fixing your non-Usenet-compliant signature block? The one
that you've been told numerous times to fix, and simply refuse?

Indeed. They (you) look the fools for their choices.

Well, when I was trying to decide on a new motherboard yesterday, one
window was not enough. In this window, I had online retailer #1, with
tabs open for each board I was considering. In the second window, I
had online retailer #2. Window 3 had hardware manufacturer MSI, with
tabs for each board. Window 4 was Asus.

I still haven't decided on a board.

Why don't you just shut your bleeping yap unless you have something
useful to contribute, rather than just insult people for no reason.

I'm not forcing you to read me posts, but you're damn near forcing me
to read yours by responding to mine.

I used google when I was first trying to find information on
partitioning schemes for Linux. One of the first few links was a page
that had to have been nearly 10 years old, so was completely useless.

I also usually search this newsgroup, but my server saves messages
from back to 2005. Further back in other newsgroups. I'm not sure
how pertinent posts from before Oct 2007 are.

And google groups doesn't carry this group. And when I did a search
for Linux groups on it, I came up with a lot of crap that had nothing
to do with Linux.

I'd be quite happy with links, as long as they actually explain
things, rather than just say run these commands and you're good to go.
Particularly if the page is more than a year old. Some servers may
have gone down or been moved, applications may no longer work in the
latest version of Linux (Gnome Art).

So, you wanted to drag a good choice from one mfgr
to another for comparison?

I use Agent 1.92. It only supports one server per install. And I
haven't found anything else that I like even half as much (not even
the latest Agent).

And when I searched Google groups for Linux groups, it listed several
groups that had nothing to do with Linux. And I was using advanced.

No, it was when I was first starting. I had two pages in one window.
MSI and NewEgg, and I realized I'd rather have both in their own
window, so I could alt-tab between the two. Other times, I've been
several links in from the start page, when I've realized that I want a
particular tab to be its own window, and I didn't know I could easily
drag the tab to another window.

Still, a right-click, "open this tab in new window" would be a bit
quicker.

ASUS makes good boards, as does Gigabyte. I'm not too crazy about
Asrock, QDI or MSI.

I'm using FF3 and if I right click on a link it gives me the options to
open in new tab/window and it does work.

You can, just install the Tab Mix Plus extension. With single window
mode disabled, you'll see the option on the tab right click menu to
duplicate in new window or move to new window.

Why? Does your (dumb) question have anything to do with Ubuntu, or even
Linux in general?

Nope.

Bugger off and go bother the other Win-droids, doofus.
