so how do i access tools if i want to clear my data cache? i have to do it regularly with my broker feed,, why do they have to constantly fuck about with stuff??
LOL. "Broker Feed" huh... is that what the kids are calling it these days. You know Firefox does have a private browsing feature

Tools > "Clear Recent History"

Its now available straight from the tools menu, instead of going to options.

You can select the time frame that you want to clear, and what items you want cleared.

Nothing was. I love it. They have started themselves on a 6 week release cycle. There are always bugs to fix, improvements to make. I have actually found the latest one to be far quicker and less of a memory hog. I initially moved over to Chrome when FireFox 9 was released. It had a lot of memory issues, and when I work I have a ton of tabs open. It would bog down really quick.

The latest two releases have been solid. The only reason I haven't switched back is due to laziness, and the inclusion of Firebug in Chrome.

need to press f10 or alt for the old style menu, apparently you can add a cache clear button as a firefox add on.. actually it does seem to be more responsive..

and task manager is saying it's using about half the memory of the old version..

12:53 PM The dollar index looks set for its 11th consecutive day of gains thanks to jittery financial markets, but finds itself bumping into heavy overhead resistance, says John Spence. UUP +3.2% in May.

    1) Once again, break up the banks
    2) Greece is running out of time
    3) The ultimate sell signal Comment!
  2. GREK
    12:33 PM Get ready for a Marshall Plan for Greece, writes Matthew Lynn, arguing Germany has no other choice, given the risks posed by a Greek EMU exit. Something on the order of €23B (10% of Greece's economy) should do the trick - a small price to pay for avoiding catastrophe. Prepare for a market rally on the news. 2 Comments

  3. 12:20 PM More on the ECB/Greek bank story: The ECB move to stop assistance to several (it appears 4) Greek banks is the result of their capital balances turning red. Under ECB rules, it cannot lend to such banks, who must instead borrow through the Bank of Greece (which, in essence, borrows from the ECB). No one is being cut off.

shorting an IPO is generally a good idea since it more than 90% of them fail. However, what about the timing ? I am thinking that FB is going to be 'very hot' when it comes out.

hah. Same here. Everyone and their grandmother is ready to buy and invest in facebook because it 'has potential'. Christ... if we haven't seen this scenario play out a million times before.
