Its not everyday you change your religion and browser (and your jeans too). Today I came across . For sometime now I have been using and was very passionate about it. It has worked amazingly well for me for last couple of years. People were trying to give me many reasons to change to . One of them was true. Gnome team has stopped further galeon releases. So finally today I downloaded Firefox 0.9.1.
So far.. So good.
It looks good. It is fast. I followed the tweak instructions and now its even faster. They dint have bookmark import Galeon bookmark import facility. I googled and found that firefox/mozilla uses html bookmarks while galeon uses xml. I also found a page describing the solution.
1. Open galeon bookmark manager. Save bookmarks as mozilla bookmarks in some html file.
2. Open firefox bookmark manager and import bookmarks from saved file.
Another thing I was used to was the close buttons on the tabs. So I googled again and found . This is a must for everyone. This gives the close buttons on the tab and MUCH MUCH more.
I think I will like it. But Galeon will have a special place in my computer :)
