This has happened twice to me. I guess it's time to get rid of firefox if they can't fix the corrupt file thing. It keeps getting rid of my bookmarks and cookies. | This has happened twice to me.

== Installing from local .jar file under KDE 3.4.0 == | |||
Hi, | |||
I downloaded a theme for KDE 3.4.0, which, amongst other things, included a theme file for Mozilla in jar format. | |||
However, the instructions, "dragging the icon to the Themes window" doesn't work when dragging from Konqueror, and this machine only has the barest minimum of Gnome libraries installed (enough to keep apps like The Gimp and Inkscape happy). Therefore, I don't have the gnome file manager. | |||
How does one do this from the command line? | |||

Hi Stuart, | |||
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_a_Skin_for_Firefox:Getting_Started | |||
pointed me to: | |||

which you can save to disk. Apparently it has the javascript needed to install a .jar theme. This worked for me with firefox 1.0.6 on linux | |||
== Extension Help! == | |||
I hope that this is the right place to ask. I really like Firefox but I find that it is missing one key feature for me to transition from Mozilla 1.7.12 to Firefox 1.5.0.1, that is the lack of the same Mozilla "Bookmark This <u>G</u>roup of Tabs" feature in Firefox. | |||
Now I know that Firefox has a "Bookmark All Tabs..." option but unlike Mozilla it creates a folder just like any other and has an option to "open in tabs" at the bottom of the folder. I can see why they did this and it would be nice to be able to enter a bookmark group to access only one tab... Yet it is something that is really rarely needed and could be done by hovering over the tab group for a short while. | |||
Now this might seam like a minor gripe considering all the other positives Firefox has over Mozilla, Yet I am truly addicted to the bookmark group in Mozilla and there are a few main reasons behind this: | |||
*it looks different than the other folders and is easy to distinguish | |||
*one simple click on the bookmark group to open it | |||
*The "Bookmark This <u>G</u>roup of Tabs" defaults to show you the file tree (for lack of a better term) giving you a quicker way to save the bookmark group. | |||
Now I have been unable to find any extention that would allow me to use the same Mozilla bookmark group functions inside of Firefox. Can someone point me to where that is located, or is it possable that someone could point me to a person that could create this? | |||
Also why can't you use Alt-Enter to access the properties of a bookmark? | |||
Please help.... Thanks! -- [[User:UKPhoenix79|UKPhoenix79]] 19:55, 4 April 2006 (PDT) | |||
