To answer my own question you can use following syntax in the shortcut:

"[Firefox directory]\firefox.exe" -profile "[profile directory]"

e.g.

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile "C:\Documents and Settings\[NAME]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profilename]"

Hope you told them to **** off[/QUOTE]

At the time I was trying to get some tickets for some of the old boys so I bit my tong, two weeks later when I got in the same week a email saying they could not offer any tickets as they had all been allocated. The other email was the one regarding having no record of our boys ever being Ball Boys and that the name Wimbledon was a registered trade mark and a request to remove the photos and information from my site so yes he got quite a mouthful along with him being anal retentive regarding his archive. A week later I got a nice email with useful information for the Wimbledon page on our site, which is still up.

Back on topic
IE6 now can display the live match reports (wonder if they look at CF) but Firefox is still unable to view the page.

I just installed firefox to see what it's like and overall I think it is much more pleasant to browse with than IE, it has no frills and always asks you if you want stuff done (you can turn this off). I currently don't have it as my default browser but I may well do in the future.

My IE seems to not load up images randomly, since using firefox those problems have dissapeared.

This I did and it got rid of the new updates pling. It would seem you may be right about Spyblaster looking for the wrong name as FF ver 0.9.1 is beta

I was looking at the spywareblaster website and found this and this. It seems like it is an fault with SpywareB.

I noticed that Adblock was back on the list of extensions, but it still not working for me.

Also, the spywareblaster problem is solved now with the release of v3.2.

Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox has a flaw:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1621463,00.asp
The fix is here, just click the install link and you're done:
http://update.mozilla.org/extensions...nfo.php?id=154

EDIT: Turns out that this is a flaw in the WindowsXP OS which is fixed in SP2, not a flaw in Moz.

Also, I found this article interesting, seeing as it's on a Microsoft site:

Hi Mal

When you say adblock isn't working for you, do you mean the functions aren't working or you can't install the extension ? I had a similar problem of getting the extension to install, so tried a modified version (apparently there are 4 versions of adblock) I tried the version by xenomorph, which can be found in this thread on the mozilla forums http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=89308

Regards.

I can install/uninstall it okay, but it doesn't block any of the ads and the options when you right click do not work. Even putting the address in manually doesn't work.

I'll have a look at that link when I get home.

It was a good extension as well.

pedantic · 09-07-2004, 10:47

ok mal, will look forward to hearing if you get it sorted. As a heads up, I don't know if you are aware, but adblock does have it's own dedicated forum that you might want to browse through. It can be found here http://adblock.mozdev.org/forum.html/no_wrap

Regards.

The xenomorph version wasn't there anymore, but one of the posts lower down gave this link. I got the nightly build 39 and that is working for me now

Thanks for that!

Mozilla are showing that FF0.9.2 is now available. According to this link, the only change seems to be what Richard mentioned below. There's also a Mozilla 1.7.1 version out as well.

I know Firefox has a pop up blocker but is there an extension to block ad banners as weel because they really annoy me.

Adblock (link not provided due to the influence if alcohol) will help with that. I believe that it's back on the list of extensions.

Wow, when I clicked on the last link in Richards post, Firefox automatically opened a page with a link to a Moz Extension that fixes the bug.
