Hi,
I just installed Linux and got everything going but I have some questions about Firefox. I have been using Firefox on my desktop and love it. I installed it on my laptop but I have one problem. The fonts are always very small or rough. What font combination do you use for your Firefox? The problem might come from my screen because it is a 15" 1400 x 1050.
I tried that but it didn't scale the font up uniformly. I can use Konqueror to browse, but it doesn't have the pop-up blocker. Konqueror's fonts are a lot smoother and easier to read/look at.
Does anyone know of a pop-up blocker for Konqueror?
Firefox is good, but if you want something really good download opera, free if you can put up with a very small add at the top, it is as fast as firefox if not faster, it has email client built in and is pretty cool. To test firefox with java plug in got to www.lycos.co.uk, and then try the same site with opera, you get bad flicker with Moz/Firefox but the page loads really well with opera.
