    A tech forum probably isn't a very good place to post this, as most of us know about the delights of firefox, and the disadvantages of IE. If it was posted elsewhere, only about 10% of people would use FF, and about 90% use IE.

    Been using FF for the last 6 months and love the fact that you can download so many cool themes and extentions.

    I will give IE7 a try though.

    I don't use them, but basically, it works thus:

    Move your mouse in a certain fashion (maybe click drag down-right), make it move back a page. Other combinations can do different things.

    Being the 59th person to vote, it's quite a shock to see more people prefer IE6 to Opera.

    Never really played with Opera to be honest, I'm very happy with Firefox

    I played with opera, but it just didn't feel clean enough to me.

    Dunno why, I prob have way more clutter in FF now.

    Thats the link to all the gestures extensions for FF.

    I personally use Mouse gestures, i like the way it shows you what you are dragging on the status bar

    Let you use mouse movements (a la Black and White) to close tabs, reload pages, etc...

    btw the new Opera beta has integrated BitTorrent.

    Another FireFox guy here!.. Once converted never will you return to the dark side! ..

    It's a great browser with loads of great extensions, themes and it's completely free! All of it everything! Have some real handy extensions installed including, uploading images to imageshack.us, by right clicking an image.

    I also just got this new extension today which is like pocketnotes, and sits on your desktop (its an extension for Thunderbird and FireFox.) and looks like a notepad!. It looks great and am sure it will come in useful, for I am forever creating new notepads, to add lines of importance or general notes.!

    FireFox!!

    Am trying to remember for you. The creators site seems to be down as the domain name has expired. It is installed as an extension within my FireFox browser but am unsure whether I have the .xpi file anywhere to hand.

    Unless there is a way to gain the .xpi file from the installed extension.

    Otherwise I will let you know, as soon as I find a link for you, or have the file to send!
