XChat Question:
I'd like xchat to dock into the systray, I'v looked around google havnt found any helpful articles.

Mozilla Firebird:
When opening a new window of mozilla firebirdin a different desktop window it tells you that your profile is currently in use, and if you would like to open in please make a new profile. Is tthere any way to disable this?

PS: Does Noatun have a replay function?

question2

Mozilla is a tabular Browser. Unlike the awful IE, you may want to press ctrl-t and open a new tab (which is basically a new window, but nicer) then opening a new window. ctrl + tab will switch between tabs and ctrl+w will close the current tab. It's just so much better

I'm using Mozilla in KDE, and ctrl + tab opens a new desktop for me, not a new tab, and doesn't cycle through open tabs either

You could change KDE's shortcuts or when Firebird is open, go into file >> new tab

Maybe that's the problem. I'm not using Firebird, just the regular Mozilla. I tried Firebird back in July or so, and it was so buggy I ditched it. Is it any better? How easy is the install? Which version of the Bird are you using in Slack?

I'm not using the latest (I'm using 0.6). It's not necessary to install anything, it's a simple executable. Uncompress and run MozillaFirebird

.
Well, july was a long time ago, things goes pretty fast with OpenSource. If it's better then regular Mozilla, it's a matter of taste. Mozilla has support for e-mail client, irc, aim... Firebird does not, but you get a lot of speed instead. Both surfing and initializing it.

Also, Mozilla (and most of Netscape based browsers) are capable of tab browsers. Check into file >> something. It has to be there

Thanks. I believe Firebird would be a good choice, as I don't use my web browser for an email, internet relay, or messenger client.

I'm using tabbed browsing with Mozilla (4 open at the moment), but ctl + tab doesn't open a new tab or cycle through open tabs - only cycles through KDE desktops. Ctrl + W does close tabs, with a little help sometimes.
