Improve Your Web Browser For Free!

I realise that a lot of this thread is about firefox but there is a free alternative version to MS browser that adapts it and makes a fantastic difference. Try this and you won't need an alternative - http://www.avantbrowser.com/

Many thanks to sra with the help for multiple users of Firefox. I forgot to say I use an Apple but with his suggestions as a basis we have now sorted it so it was very helpful info.

Have a look in the gmail help files. They are comprehensive and you might find the answer. Failing this email gmail. They are good at responding.

Martin, I have RSI and I use a voice recognition program called "Virtually Speaking" no. 7 made by Dragon. It is excellent, and it allows you to type to your heart's content without hands!

Might be a bit difficult if he/she can't get into gmail in the first place.

Kind of like when you are held in a phone queue when calling a support computer centre and they have a message saying 'you can also get support on our website...' which isn't much use if your bleeding computer isn't working in the first place!


Anyway I know that I had problems opening my gmail with Firefox - it used to get stuck at a blank white screen.

Try Opera instead - much faster too in my experience.

Go to Google's main site and post the problem to them through the 'contact us' link. ( google.com)

Also everyone might like to know that Google has now produced a google toolbar for Firefox. You can get it from:

HELP - i just recently loaded firefox but my GMAIL wont open in it. It just keeps refreshing trying to find it. If i open IE I can then access it. ANy ideas anyone PLEASE

Gmail should work fine in Firefox, but try this link- http://gmail.google.com/gmail/h/

This was suggested by the Google team so I could access Gmail on a PC where ActiveX had been turned off in IE (a work PC with extreme security), and it gives a more basic access to Gmail.

then Advanced on the Left, scroll down to Security.

It should be on by default

SSL is on by default on my brand new set up - but when I tried downloading the additions pointed to in post #2 they tell me I don't have it enabled.

So, er, Firefox Tools etc says it is, and Firefox Download Extensions says it isn't. Are they going to fight it out all night or is there something else I need to do?
