Media Player Classic (MPC) is also good with FFDShow, but is beginning to fall behind slightly. It's often included with codec packs and is well worth installing just because it allows you to change the aspect ratio by dragging with the mouse.

I don't want to switch tabs immediately. I prefer to let the next page load in the background.
So we have to have rubbish browsers because they are bringing out rubbish screens

colour managed..... one reason not to use it
My right click to open goes back to Opera which had TWO
options "Open and go to the TAB" or "Open hidden". The last
one is the only one available in Firefox, you have to click
the TAB to go to it which I'm used to.
The only improvement I've seen In Firefox 4 is the
"Paste and GO" which they have copied off Opera.

I've now gone back to v2 and the Fasterfox add-on which I've always missed because they never took it beyond v2 It has a progress bar and time for how long each page takes to load. This one took 0.330 seconds
Also with v2 any new tabs always open at the end of the line of tabs, not wherever they want like with v3 and v4.
I'd like to go back to v1.5 which had the Red Close Tab Button an the right of the screen on the tab line, so you didn't have to look for which one to press. It always closed the page you had open and you could keep clicking to close as many as you want. The latest v4 has a + and a cross together and you have to be careful not to click the wrong one.

I've upgraded to Firefox 4 and haven't really noticed any difference?
I'm quite happy with it ...
I'm referring to the Windows PC version of Firefox 4 not the Mac version. I don't know anything about that apart from stay well away from their browser in Windows, because it won a competition for being the easiest browser to hack!!

Bummer! Glad I selected the Logitech Trackman Marble over the Marble Mouse, although I chose it for the thumb ball, because I couldn't live without middle click/scroll!

Agreed. IWC you may be interested in about:config, set browser.tabs.closeButtons set to 0, which resets FF to FF1 behaviour of only putting Close Tab 'X" on the current tab - saves accidentally closing a Tab you haven't read yet.

'Fraid so. Discovered this when BIL wanted to upgrade his 15" 4x3 just for browser use really, and we discovered that most 19" widescreens were just wider 15" screens. Unbelievable! And most manufacturers had the gall to call them HD when the only HD-like element was the 16x9 a/r. (FWIW finally settled on the BenQ 21" with 1920x1080 HD res for under £100.)
Dunno what I'll do when my 1900x1200 monitor or ditto laptop dies ...
