Don't think so. I also added a Thai ไทย language keyboard recently so that may be the culprit too.

When I open a Word Document, the insert function works fine. I'll keep hunting.

oh sorry.

i misunderstood, you are trying to use the insert key.

i've never used it, why do you need it?

Im now on FF 3.0.2. Whenever I log in to TD it doesnt automatically redirect me, just sticks on the page you get after you enter the login details.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Im giving FF3 another go as theres been an update to see if the CPU leak gets any better. On my travels I spotted this add on

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5721

Its a visual bookmark thingy so when you open a new tab instead of it being blank it populates the screen with thumbnails or a custom pic for your bookmarks like this



You can set the size of the thumbnail, the size of the grid for more or less bookmarks, the background colour and also a custom pic of your own rather than the screenshot which it generates. On the Mac version theres a magnifying glass next to the custom image field which if you click takes you to a site where there might be a custom pic uploaded already if its a popular site like Demonoid or Hotmail which you can download for free.



You set the bookmarks by right clicking the empty boxes and go from there. You can set them to open in a new tab, current tab or new window individually.

I quite like this add on.

You can re-arrange the order by drag and drop. Theres a good number of the popular sites with logos made already, some of which have an "add to fast dial" button beneath the image so if you go to the logo site through the properties bit it adds them to the bookmark rather than downloading them then having to browse and add them manually.

Its raining so I decided to spend at least 5 mins making a transparent TD logo to haul TD into the future of err, stuff. I might do the twee reflection on as well.



Oh forgot. Do I need permission to steal the TD logo and use it for wanton bookmarking purposes?
Tough shite if I do.

I use Downthemall, it's a good download manager for Firefox, completely free!
Fasterfox is also good for increasing surfing speed

^ I only got informed of the upgrade to 3.0.2 today.

This isnt an add on and its for Mac only.

Ive just downloaded one of the optimised FF3 builds for my G4 iBook and Im giving it a whirl, seems OK possibly a bit faster and add ons all seem to work so far.

You can find the optimised builds hereG4/G5/Intel optimized build for Mac OS X

Japanese site but all the builds are English

Fancy saving a bit of precious real estate on that monitor or screen of yours?

This is Windows only so I can only guess at what it does from the pics. It looks like it puts all the top menu bar menu items like File, Edit, View etc into a smaller drop down menu saving(?) space.

All of 'em for whatcha might call Geeky reasons.

I had this one called "RankQuest SEO toolBar." Piece of shit, every button took you to their website so you could use their online tools. Glorified book mark to some (fair to poor) tools. Much better ones available or easy enough to write and put on a personal site.

ChiangMai noon

Just downloading it now, taking ages though. I pray each time it does something about the CPU usage but I dont hold my breath.
