Not bad!!!

Is that Chrome? I'll definitely start playing with it.

Can you "pin" tabs? FF calls them AppTabs. LOVE them! Take up WAY less real estate....

don't know, I pretty much just use standard features. just install it, with all the spyware you already keep running, it shouldn't matter too much.
and once you make money, get a real mac

they look like that, once I open more than a hundred.

Any cocktails going?

I think I get thirstier when my pips are green than if they're red! Red ones make me want to go sit in the shower for an hour, and then hug my pillow!

So...yeah...cocktails? Did the Eagle leave any instructions in that regard?

Rule #69- One must NEVER cock-block thyself!

Cheers, g-man...already on. Not really "pop-ups" of sorts. Certain words appear as hyperlinks. When you hover on them...pop-a-milf...or whatever the ad du jour is, opens up.

Actually...just noticed...two out of three machines have it...one doesn't. Difference is: The two with it are completely up to date. The one that doesn't have it is running an older version of Firefox (and will continue to now!). I may just downgrade my version of FF on the machines with the problem to see if that fixes it.

Bastards!

You can. I have pandora, gmail, google music etc all pinned. Lots of FF new features were pulled from chrome.

One other thing I really like is creating "Application shortcuts". I also use for things like pandora, netflix etc. Opens up a barebones chrome window without toolbars into the website you created the shortcut for. Makes the netflix website feel like a desktop app (ishx20).

oh dude you are so far behind. back somewhere i posted the popcorn and cocktails to sisse and was just waiting for the show to begin. eagle is now on his "usual" weekend. we had a talk about saving copper and resalling later for profit and also turning in beer cans but that was about it on the instructions. we got a good secret code going

I already have it installed...do like it. Is certainly faster...leaner under the hood. Will play more and see if I wind up making the swap.

Have several. One of my three trading machines is a 17" MBP. That's the portable rig so I can go to the deck and drink coffee/alcomahol and smoke (occasionally )!

It is always Boot-camped into Windows 7, though. Ever since I left Oanda...my Macs (well...Mac OS) have been Useless for trading. I have several other uses for them, though...and I consider them to be THE shit! like not...OMG! I'm talking ZOMG!!!

Cheers mate.

No...my machines are lean and mean. Absolutely NO way in hell that a program has been installed without me knowing.

I have one disease riddled computer that makes trips to Pr0nland...I mean, Milfville...wait...you know what I'm saying...but my trading stations...no way. When I'm trading, there's only one golden shower I'm interested in!

Don't worry, they get you in FF too... there's a reason why when you are browsing your favorite grandma's home baked cookies website... you get ads for forex brokers.
That's called ad retargeting and it's not actually specific to any browser in particular, but rather your browsing history on any browser (FF, Chrome, IE, etc.). You could turn off cookies and it wouldn't be able to track you.

Nice brother V...sounding good!

Pin tabs? Check
Mac skin? Check

Only other thing I would miss is a "Session Manager" which I'm sure MUST be there, too? I click Exit, and the next time I open FF...everything opens exactly the same as I left it. Generally, that would be about 8 windows, with anywhere from 8-20 tabs in each...some of which are the "pinned" tabs in each. Doable...in a non-milf sort of way)?

EDIT: You can also save different sessions and recall them at anytime. Say...a Forex session...and a pr0n session. Load whichever one, and everything loads just as you like it (). Infinite amount of Sessions available.
