    Pinball is the best IMO, but lately I've been all over phoenity.

    Check out <a href="http://www.phoenity.com">Phoenity.com</a> to get some neat tips for customizing it. I've customized mine pretty heavily, and I really love it.

    BTW, 0.9 should be out by Monday.

    Did you try what I told you? It will fix your problem.

    Delete the Firefox/Firebird/Phoenix profile. All your extensions get deleted as well.

    DT has that problem with his browser because of some extension that he has installed. I, OTOH, didn't install it to my profile, and don't have that problem. The only thing that he found to remedy the problem is to disable the extension, even though it is some badass stuff.

    Uninstalling the program does not delete your profile. You still have to delete that.

    from another thread here
    What you'll need to do is delete your Firefox profile. You can grab your bookmarks out of it beforehand though -- go to (in XP):
    C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR PROFILE NAME\Application Data\

    then grab your bookmarks.html file from the Phoenix directory (as of .8 it was still named Phoenix I think -- it may have been Firebird). Then delete the directory. Open Firefox again and it'll create a new profile for you. Drop the Bookmarks.html file back into that profile and you're off and running.

    I've had problems with TabBrowser extensions also -- I use TabBrowser preferences instead.


    BTW, I enjoy the walnut theme!:cool:

    OK. Call me r****ded, but I tried customizing a few things and I tried to follow their directions, but it's not working. Mainly my problem is WTF is the namespace? How do I change the namespace to XUL?

    and vengeance, thanks for your help. although, i tried your suggestion i couldn't find "application data" in any of my user name folders. :confused: therefore there was no Profile folder for me to delete.
