(It probably will be already.) Make the first box say Firefox. ===== ===== ===== Just for lagniappe, in case you want something a lot faster and very safe, make that box say Custom. Then in the Command box, make it say "dillo %s" -- note the space before the %. Then become root and command "yum install dillo" If like me you often get URLs in emails that you just want a quick look at, this will speed things way up; and if you get a site Dillo won't handle, but that you still want to see, then c&p into a new tab on Ffx. Ditto if you want to keep a bookmark, or recopy a long URL all in one line. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; nine (count 'em -- nine) different browsers Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
