Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I don't use Firefox, but I did reboot the computer and did a test download and it's working.

Now for a really ditzy question: where is the Downloads/Temporary Downloads folder usually located? Cuz I can't find it!

eta that I found a previous link that wouldn't dl and now it is, so problem fixed. Rebooting, who knew? Oh, right, le nubian did, thanks!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Thanks, le nubian! It worked!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

HD TiVo owners--do your cable providers give you both HD and non-HD versions of your stations? If so, did you delete the non-HD stations? I worry if I do that the green thumbs-up automatic record functionality won't work anymore. But if I don't, the keyword record catches the low def version instead.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just installed Firefox 3 and suddenly I have no scroll bar. I've tried three different themes, so I know that's not the issue. Help!

(Also, mouse gestures appear to have been enabled. Must turn those off NOW.)

[eta: Ok, it's there when I use the default theme, but none of the others. And the default theme is unforgivably fugly. Anyone know of a nice simple theme that works in OSX *and* will give me a visible scroll bar?)]

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm using Phoenity Reborn, and it's alright, if not spectacular.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Some themes have to be updated to Firefox 3.

I know Grapple Blue does.

Here are all of the themes that are either Firefox 3.0 or 3.1 (Experimental) and specifically targeted/aimed for OSX platform, that are updated in the last month:

Daniel, several themes on that page have the disappearing scroll bar issue.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If so, did you delete the non-HD stations?

That's what I did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you use the green thumb record feature ever?

No, I don't. How do you think that might affect things?
