Don't think so - at least in the present version, although you might get a plugin for it very soon. Do you know though, that the "Quick Launch" icon that you see in your system tray eats up a good bit of your free RAM ?? That's how it does the quick launch - by keeping a good part of the code already loaded into the RAM - when you click on quick launch - it just firs up the interface. Hence, the load time is so low..

 

Whereas, Mozilla does this by the quick launch way, MS with their @%^$^# IE does the same too - but by integrating most of the IE code into the GUI - so it's already 80% preloaded as soon as you boot into Windows... that says a FAT lot about why IE starts up so fast...

everyone is moving to firefox now. i gues theyre getting fed up of internet explorer. my friend tried a test that was posted on this forum recently on his firefox browser. he didnt pass 3/4 popups! which i couldnt believe. i though it could be better!right now im using netscape which blocked all of them except 3 out of all of 27 i think. compared to my friends firefox results it was way better! so the firefox popup blocker kinda sucks!same with anyone else?

I absolutely do not have that problem. The Firefox popup blocker always blocks the popups. I can turn my firewall of and only one or two of 100 ads will actually be shown. When I have my firewall on, I only get ads in IE. No ads in Firefox; zip, zilch, zero, nada, nothing.

you know, harriko, i heard firefox has a great pop-up blocker, except for porn sites... :P

me, i just use IE, but i think i'm gonna switch to Firefox, and i use the google toolbar as a pop-up blocker, i like that toolbar anyway

 

well, yeah, i'm a google fan. so what? you'll just have to live with that, cause i'm not gonna change it as long as Google doesn't hack our webcams...

I skimmed through this and didn't see any reference to the answer. There's an extension for Firefox called Minimize to Tray which puts Firefox in the system tray.Cheers,MC

hey, that's right...:P probably because the topic title is just 'Firefox' which makes it seems as if the topic is just about firefox, and not the tray system issue.

no offense, but you have that a lot, when you aren't clear in the topic title

kc8yff, i'm not picking on you, i do it too, sometimes, don't take this too serious :P

 

here you can find more information about minimizing all kinds of programs to a tray button: His Webpage
