How does one open a page in a background tab, or a foreground tab? I know you can do one or the other. How do you do both?
edit/preferences/navigator/select the buttons.../home
AND allow to display the personal toolbar,
view/show-hide/Personal toolbar.
Yes, that's a bug, bugzilla #89350. The button should be on the main toolbar, but isn't.
An alternative is the keyboard shortcut, alt+home.
I don't think I understood well the other question.
Ctrl+T opens a new tab, while Ctrl+N opens a new browser window.
I lost my sidebar... but found it again! ;)
Doing side by side tests on my Win98SE PC PIII 500 128mb ram - DSL connection, Opera is still quicker.
My "not so very scientific, but to the point testing" is done with cleared cache on both browsers. Using Yahoo as a test source (for lots and lots of links!) I open both browsers side by side (21" monitor - 1600x1200 res.)
First with Mozilla 1.0 RC on the right side of the screen, and Opera on the right, I navigate both browsers to a Yahoo category - making sure the links are lined up in a similar position, I first click on a link with Moz... and then mouse over to click the matching link with Opera.
The "mouse/cursor" travel is approximately 8 inches. For all but the smallest pages, Opera will render quicker than Mozilla in my trials. Sometimes by several seconds, even though the Opera link is clicked after the Mozilla link.
Reverse positions - Opera on the right side of the screen, Mozilla on the left. Opera renders each and every page before Mozilla.
Again, not very scientific, but it is consistant. Interesting to say the least.
I will say this however, Mozilla is much faster that NS6.2.1, clearly progress has been made.
I hope that this release will entice the some of the "Netscape" users to consider the upgrade. I think it will.
Yeah, Opera is still a little quicker, but because all my customer stats need passwords, Mozilla is much quicker overall.
Can't wait for Opera to get a password manager.
