I'm also desperate to escape the Firefox bloat, but I find that on my netbook with small screen dimensions, I like to configure Firefox and use an add-on to reduce the toolbar, search bar and menu bar down to just one row, and turn off the status bar: http://www.aoakley.com/misc/firefox-lxde-compact.png In this example I've removed the status bar, placed the menu, toolbar icons, address bar and search box onto one row, and used the Tiny Menu add-on to move all menu items except Bookmarks so that they cascade under one menu item "Menu". Tiny Menu: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1455 Note how this is not Firefox's "full screen" option, nor is it kiosk mode; the LDXE task bar remains visible below the browser window. Window decoration has been removed for this window using the OpenBox option. Given that Lubuntu will be ideal for netbooks, are there any other browsers which support the majority of web browsing (Flash video, Ajax) but can keep their toolbars etc. down to just one row whilst retaining a menu, bookmarks, address bar, back/forward/reload/stop/home buttons and search box? -- Andrew Oakley and...@aoakley.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
