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!
To take a page from flea's book -- Thing that is annoying me about Firefox 4 -- the history button next to that back button is gone. Yes, you can look at the history, but it gives the history for all tabs, not the one that you were on. So, for example, you're doing a google search, and click on a few links from the original search, you can't just click on the history and go back to where you want to be. grr.
Also, is there a difference in the quality of HDMI cables? I didn't think so, but I've been having some issues with the tivo, and am wondering if it was just a cheap HDMI cable ($10 at target) or do I need something more expensive.
You should be able to click and hold on that back button to get to the history. Which I agree is annoying and a needless step back.
No difference in HDMI cables, apparently. If you're getting non-sparkly picture, it's not the cable.
What issues are you having?
What kind of tivo issues? I've been having some issues, but I suspect it's the cable card.
The moving of the "new tab" button totally threw me (especially because I didn't immediately upgrade to FF4 on all my computers). But due to some drama while moving to the new one, I'm now using Chrome.
Oh, yeah, meara, that was totally a thing for me. In fact, I kept getting confused because I wasn't really looking at drop down menus, I was just rightclicking and then moving the cursor down to open in new tab, not realizing I was opening in new window, and then I was all confused. So I migrated my other computers, just to be consistent. The placement of the bookmarks folder is still somewhat confusing, but I think I'm mostly adjusted now. But it was a pretty close thing there for a bit; I nearly went Opera.
Where do you shop for desktops these days? Dell does not seem to be great.
Yeah, I've heard nothing that makes me want to upgrade to FF4.

Oh yeah, that took a minute to get used to.
Can you get stuff out of the drop-down autocomplete or whatever address bar in FF? I haven't tried that hard, but in IE, there's just an X you can click on the right of the drop-down list.

yeah, thought so. Might just be an issue with Vizios and Tivo. I like the TV otherwise. It's a tiny issue, I don't get the tivo sounds when I am using the FF buttons while watching a show. I miss my bloops, but it's not that big of a deal.
I've seen some prices for HDMI cables that (in my opinion) border on the criminal.
