Netscape 8 question

I am tryin out the new netscape...but here is my problem. I want the game windows to open separately, not in a new "tab". How do I do this, I went into the options and thought I fixed it, but NO I didn't. I may start using it instaed of IE, if I can fix this...it is really annoying!!

Thanks w/ any help

Go into Tools>Options>Tab Browsing> Put a check/tick where it says open links in a new window. oops sorry bad info there I'll get back to you.

LOL yea see I did that, but it uses the whole window for the game....its too big...ugly ...and just weird. Guess I'll have to keep on using IE? I don't think I can get used to it.

I am having the same problem, but with Firefox. I have been trying to fix it, but it still just disappears on me. I will continue to work on it till I get it fixed hopefully.

Sissypye my instructions above seem to work for Firefox. I can get my game to open in a new window not a tab. Netscape is another issue though. I'm still looking at it.

Good Luck. Let me know how you make out. O0

Firefox. IE does it already.

LOL Look above. I saw you modified your post so I did also. :o

From what I have read in the Netscape help files the method I described should do the trick but obviously it isn't. Maybe it's a flaw in the browser. I don't know. If i find a solution I will let you know. ;)

Thanks Homer! Isn't it annoying how the game is all small in this huge window? LOL Hopefully someone will find a fix!

Homer · June 03, 2005, 08:11:54 PM

Yes it is annoying. ::)

ugh..that's horrible in Netscape. I don't understand why it doesn't load like it does in Firefox or IE. That's weird Netscape does that.

I also downloaded netscape 8.hated it,went back to 7.2..smiles..how did it do that you ask!
go back to main page of netscape go to downloads and you see current download
archived products ..i'm a happy person now...much better for double browsing.

Homer · June 07, 2005, 02:45:02 PM

Your welcome. :)

In regards to your other question try this:

Got to:

Tools>Options>Advanced> Under browsing is there a check mark in the second and third box? If not check it and click ok. Close the browser and open it again and see if that fixes it.

Mine are and the scrolling works fine. What's really cool is I have a mouse with a tilt wheel which also scrolls east to west as well. ;)
