Comment on Code Snippet, Easier use of boost::variant. by Matthew

I’ve had problems with the reliability of variant’s type() function and the which() function is not verbose enough so that’s why this was made. Might be a problem with Visual C++ thought, but I’m actually using it in situations where a visitor was too much to be used.

I would love to have a version of this theme to adopt the tabs-on-top look of most of the mockups from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/4.0_Mac_Theme_Mockups

Comment on Firefox Preloader 2.0 Coming Soon by Manne

…we write the year 2010, but the problem is the same.
With Firefox 3.5.6 and Preloader 1.0/366 the XP-Boot process ends with a minimized Window (about :blank) and the FF-Symbol in the windows name bar

Hi,

Don’t mean to rain on your parade, but boost::variant already offers essentially your is() functionality via the pointer version of get(), which returns a pointer to the contained object if it is of type T, and a null pointer otherwise: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/boost/get_id1317854.html

And as you probably know, if you find yourself writing a lot of code that switches on types like this, you should probably rewrite to use a visitor as it will ease maintenance in the long term. The example in the variant docs shows how easy this is to do.

Thank you for this software!

I disagree, we all need it. After installing it, I never plan on removing it again. We really need this tool, so please update it again!

Thanks and Godbless!

ReduxTeam: Great job on the theme. I Just wanted to let you know I made some changes to ‘Strata Home Tab’. You will need to update your code to work properly with your theme.

Wait when I try to download Strata Home Tab, it says that it's not available for OS X. Is something wrong here?

I just setup a PC for my Mom and the PC is a P4, 1GB of memory system……

Firefox 3.6 RC1 is slightly faster than 3.5 but still can hang when starting.

I just installed pre-loader and it loads much faster.

So don’t think people don’t need pre-loader. In fact in needs to be built in. Slower PCs need it.

I use Mozilla Weave as we have a PC in the living room & Grease Monkey, Downthemall, Secure login and sometimes Adblock Plus when a sites ads ruins the content on it.

Unless another browser works faster on slower hardware and offers all these features….Then firefox is still useful……

You said Minimize To Tray is the same thing in another blog? I think that doesn’t support loading of the browser at start up? Which pre-loader does.

So please see if you can build this in or update it if there is any issues.

Thanks for making a useful program….
