Okay I followed all steps in the first post. In the last step it asked me to install, I clicked install, never really saw anything happen but in the bottom left hand corner of the screen it said "bbcodeintext installed successfully" So restarted my firefox, came back to this thread and looked at the first post, which contains several links and nothing is any different, I still can't click on the links and have to copy and paste. What am I missing? Also, another question for you computer geniuses out there. I'm using a Logitech MX Revolution wireless mouse, I use it at home and work. At home I can click a little button on the side of the mouse and it acts like the "back" button on my web browser, works in both IE 7 and Firefox. But for some reason I cannot make this work on my work computer. Any thoughts? Thanks for the help!  FaTeke

What am I missing?
Addon and the script need to be active Firefox menue / Extras/ Add-on's/Greasemonkey/settings check bottom left corner -- checkbox [x] active check entry in script list, left side: BBCCode in text check entry in application list: http:forums.secondlife.com/* another tip: From: Arcane Clawtooth I use Firefox with the Linkification addon, works perfectly in all sites I go to. You can find it in the addons BTW, Flashblock is another great addon, makes browsing so much better and Morning Coffee is wonderful for comic strip fiends like me |

FaTeke If you go to the control panel mouse applet on the work computer, does it show you as having a Revolution mouse? If so there ought to be a tab for setting what buttons do what.

If there is interest I'll try to better support Opera and Chrome. I have no plans to support IE7Pro, it's too much work to replace all the xpath with antiquated DOM lookups.
Personally I love Firefox, I love being able to easily hack the interface and webpages. Yes it is slow to startup but that is the cost of having over 40 extensions installed. I love Greasemonkey and to a lesser extent Stylish. Don't like how something looks or works? Change it ^_^ revolt against the webmasters, power to the people.

From: Sharcel Bellic The script available currently at userscripts.org will work in Opera if you make the following changes:
Change
To
This may have other consequences, I don't know, I don't do this sort of thing much.
Possibly Jesse is using an older version of the script. Strife does report having modified it since it was first made. Works for me in Opera 9.6 under linux, thx |

From: Deviant Epsilon There aren't any security issues as long as you keep it updated with the latest security patches. Same goes for Firefox and Opera which also have security issues if you don't keep them patched. That's not true. Microsoft has a very long history of not disclosing security issues that they know about if they don't plan on patching them. This isn't a philosophy that's IE-specific at all: A few years ago a group that had been trying to get Microsoft to release patches for some of the most glaring bugs wrote Code Red to exploit them, forcing Microsoft to acknowledge those problems. They learned nothing, though, since the motivation for NIMDA was similar over equally troubling issues. You can't safely say that there aren't security issues unless the source code is open to public review. There's simply no way around this. |

You can't safely say that there aren't security issues unless the source code is open to public review. There's simply no way around this. It is not that easy to make a short statement about which browser ist most secure. Usage Internet Explorer: 72.22% Usage Firefox: ..............19.48% Comparison of web browsers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers ++++++++++++++++ sorce copy: Internet Explorer has had 137 vulnerability reports. 25 were marked as moderately critical, 48 were marked as highly critical, and 15 were marked as extremely critical. There are still 39 remaining, including 10 that were marked as moderately critical and 1 that was marked as highly critical. Firefox has had 74 vulnerability reports. 19 were marked as moderately critical, 28 were marked as highly critical, and 0 were marked as extremely critical. There are still 7 remaining, including 1 that was marked as moderately critical. http://www.webdevout.net/browser-security ---------------- I cannot say Firefox is more save. I don't belive that Microsoft makes an unsave product even there are more security reports. If you compare there are billion more IE browsers on the market. If the market and the number would be same, who knows, wich browser really would win the race. Security holes are opened by the user and his activities (Addons, unsave websites, installing unsave products). There will be always a way arround security guessed. . |

If the marked and the number would be same, who knows, wich browser really would win the race. You're comparing the total number of security holes with only the announced security holes in IE. So by your own figures, you would have to use some seriously twisted logic to come to the conclusion that IE is safe. Also note that usage statistics per browser are rarely accuarate, as many sites only allow browsers that identify as IE, thus many users of other browsers have theirs identify as IE. Another factor is that IE ships with Windows and many people either are unwilling or unable to use Firefox. |
