'Go' button

'Go' button

Is there a 'Go' button I can use for when after I paste a link into the address bar? At the moment I paste the link via mouse and then have to press Enter on my keyboard. I do not like this.

There is a Go button on the Customise dialogue, but you don't need it, which is why its not there by default.

Right-click, and select, "paste and go."

Press Shift+F12 and choose the buttons tab. The Go button is in the 'Browser View' section, just drag it to where you want it.

very cool

Why this isn't available in every app with an address bar is a mystery to me.

There is much stupidity with browser manufacturers.. Firefox was awesome because it had tabbed browsing - something that was new back then! Yet it took them 2+ years to place a 'New tab' button on the inteface by default. Every person I ever introduced Firefox never knew you could multitab until I showed them, and they had been using for over 1 year!

I wrote to Mozilla to tell them this, still they did not listen! Even Microsoft placed one in their IE7.

I cracked it with Firefox two nights ago, now Opera is my new browser.

How many years Firefox has been around? Still cannot pass Acid3 test! They shifted away from security and functionality when they became popular and became more focussed on bloat, so barred!

I like Opera, mostly. Just a bit buggy and some very annoying designs.

You're very young I guess. Otherwise you wouldn't be so wrong.

The first browser to offer tabbed browsing was InternetWorks, created by Booklink Inc., and winner of the Comdex show's Rookie of the Year Award in 1994. The program was renamed GNNworks the following year when it was bought by AOL and incorporated in their online client. (The same development team then went on to develop AOL's Instant Messenger application.)

The next known browser with what it called "dynamic browser tabs" was Simulbrowse, now called NetCaptor, released by Adam Stiles on January 3, 1998. The Amiga browser IBrowse introduced tabbed browsing in 1999. The browser Opera V4 introduced tabbed browsing in 2000 (Opera had earlier introduced the multiple document interface enabling cascading and tiling of browser windows).

For some reason Internet Explorer and other browsers did not immediately appreciate this innovation, and the next known browser to offer tabbed browsing was Mozilla in 2003, followed by Apple's Safari. However, once it became a discriminator, everyone had to have it, and by 2005 most browsers supported tabbed windows of some kind.

I was speaking philosophically, not technically.

Truth is, Firefox was the first browser to start tabbed browsing mainstream.
