    I have started to use firefox but have a couple of problems i can't figure out.

    1. some frames pages that have swf file not embedded in a html frame the swf doesn't play in the frame, it will play in a new window or using a "pop up" swf player.

    anyone know how to set it to operate as IE would and play the swf directly in the frame ?

    2. using this forum i get the message i need to change my config settings if i wish to use the "paste" option.

    Anyone know how to do that ?

    i have done a search of the Mozilla help section but not found my solutions...may just be having a bad day

    thanks in advance for any help

    1.some pages \ or the guy that made the page wants it to pop up - in tabbrowser extensions or preferences extension you can get "the pop up" to open in a tab

    2.im constantly pressing Ctrl V to paste (the paste option is not available in "advanced reply)

    It will probably be that you need to install an extension or two to get full functionality out of it, vid.

    There are hundreds on that page and I can't remember the correct ones off the top of my head, if it's not answered tomorrow I'll have a look at what I've got installed and let you know

    Try Netscape 7.2, like FireFox its Mozilla based
    but already has all the 'extensions' included..

    i actually use that as well and have the same problem. .... If it wasn't for all the security risks IE would be so much easier


    but it is just asthetics, firefox is fine apart from this little irritation
