Is that default Firefox functionality? I can't find either in my copy.

Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
hmm. that's a good question. I wonder if I have this feature from one of my extensions.
no wonder I couldn't find documentation.
Hmm. I have both of those options, but I have no idea what they do.
a ha! it was for one of my extensions: tab mix plus. took me into the bowels of a forum to find out what the feature did. now I know.
Help help! The click wheel on my iPod has stopped working. I cannot scroll through menus or change the volume. It just started doing this on the ride home tonight.
ETA: FIXED! The reset trick worked. But still, alarming. I've never had any trouble with Candylike the iPod before.
le nubian, what was the answer? I have the same extention and now I'm curious.
Jilli, sometimes they need a swift kick in the pants. Like a PDA they're essentially on all the time, so when it starts acting quirky the best thing is a reset. It's normal.

okay, one will keep the tab open unless you specifically close it (protect I think)
one will force links you click to open in new tabs (lock I think)
You can lock and protect (since these are two different functions which is called "freeze").
huh. okay.
Both yesterday and today I've been having problems actually using the 'net.
I've been able to log on but everything runs extremely slowly. I ran my McAfee and it found nothing.
I restart and log on -- still slow and do it again and then eventually, I get a working connection.
What should I be looking at? Or is this just what I should expect? (Even though it hasn't been like this before.0
Does it (or something similar) show up under the Startup tab when you run msconfig?
That's how the HP people told me how to fix it when I got online assistance. It only worked temporarily, though. This fix seems to have worked for good.
The only question remains is why HP would bundle this piece of shit software on their computers in the first place.
