The End of MWM

Greetings all,

Letting everyone know that after somewhere around 28 years, when our annual hosting expires on 08/24/2025, Millennium Weekend Ministries we will not be renewing. Lack of interest for the past many years makes it clear to Esther and me that it does not make any sense to continue to keep the site running.

Many thanks to the handful of folks that have stuck it out with us. Perhaps very soon we shall all meet when we hear the glorious voice of our Savior calling us home to the Father's house. Certainly any who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation, repenting with a "broken and contrite heart" (Ps 34:18 and 51:17) will find mercy and will indeed be caught up together to meet our Savior in the air.

What a glorious day that will be.

In Christ alone,
Andy

    Re: Firefox Question

    Ish,

    I use yahoo email more than hotmail and gmail and have no problem opening attachments. I get quite a bit of spam in it, however, but it is good about directing what I label as spam to the spam folder.

    Still use chrome the most for every day internet use, firefox for banking and IE to view web site builds and Google rankings.

    Re: Firefox Question

    Resuming older thread ..

    For the reason John stated in post #12 about "RAM hog", and the continuing issue with firefox not scrolling while selecting text when the mouse gets to the bottom of the screen, I quit using firefox.

    Now .. fast forward to the past two months. I NEED to be able to open various email attachments for work .. e.g. xls, pdf, doc, etc. I have yahoo email. Back around the start of December 2013, I can no longer open any attachments. Thinking a box somehow got check'd or uncheck'd and after much hunting with no success, I went through the misery of contacting yahoo. It really wasn't too bad once I got to a person on live chat. After getting nowhere, I gave him permission to "get on my 'puter". In the end .. they still won't open. He suggested firefox as a "test." I downloaded it (ver.26 I think) and went to email and voila .. attachments open. So I went back to firefox. I notice in Task Manager under Processes, firefox is using 300+ MB of RAM where as IE9 is under 100 MB. Those vary some of course .. AND, the scroll still doesn't work. I copy and paste a lot and so I use the select text/scroll a LOT. I guess I have to use IE for most internet use and firefox for email.

    Issachar, thinking the internet/software folks need to stop and leave well enough alone ..

    GH, like you I started using Chrome some time ago, also, but I like to use Firefox because of its Developer add ons and being 2nd in use to IE, I have to see what web sites, I am building, look like.

    Only problem I have with Chrome is the occasional Flash crash but otherwise it is very efficient and streamlined IMO!

    I quit with Firefox for all of the above reasons. I've used Chrome now for over a year and find it the most issue free of all the browsers. Also use an adware blocker and a do not track on my AVG.

    Do you have some add-ons?

    Go to Help and click on "Restart with add-ons disabled".

    Re: Firefox Question

    I used to love Firefox but with the latest version it loads a container plug in for Adobe Flash and it is a RAM hog. When you scroll down a page it delays and sputters! Is this what you are seeing PB? Anyone else having this problem?

    ver.17, eh? Wow .. I just d/l Firefox. Ok .. I just looked at how to update and saw that I am at ver.17. This morning I was at 16.0.2. They're fast.

    Still won't scroll though when selecting text and I get to the bottom of the screen. FWIW, I'm on a Dell, Windows 7; 64 bit ... Well maintained.

    The current version of Firefox is 17.0. Updating may solve the problem. No add-on is necessary.

    I have used Firefox for years and have never had a problem to copy to the bottom of any page.

    Re: Firefox Question

    if anything, firefox scrools down too quickly when you drag your mouse down past the bottom of the page

    the trick is to just push his tail past the bottom of the page and it will scroll slowly..............

    there is only one firefox issue,,,some website creator tools insist you use IE to imput text, there is a patch you can get to fix that...

    imho firefox bookmarks works better than IE favorites

    firefox also is not as vunerable to viruses as long as you give firefox its flu shots

    The IE I was using is ver.9. While looking around, I came across "Five reasons to not use IE9."
