Thank you for your help switching user agents in beta 4 so i can open my hotmail.com . preferences->advanced–> then check show development menu check box. then swich user agent from tool bar to firefox. Sad that you need to be tech savvy to go to your web based mail in a beta browser.

That’s a Microsoft, not an Apple problem.

I use Tab Mix Plus to set this up in Firefox and wuld like to be able to do the same in Safari.

Don’t know about the Windows version.

I like having bookmarks automatically open in new tabs and can see no way to control this in Safari.

After a couple of weeks using it I have to say it feels completely normal to have the tabs in the title bar. As I have read elsewhere, if the first tabbed browser had had tabs in the title bar then we wouldn’t be worried about the location in Safari 4. It’s just a little different.

As an aside I have been really impressed with Safari on my MacBook. I’ve used Multiclutch to set up some trackpad shortcuts and have been flying with it. It’s replaced Firefox as my browser of choice. On my iMac and work PC it’s a different story. I find the lack of mouse gestures a real problem. I am so used to using them in Firefox that they are a serious omission from Safari 4. Apple really ought to work them into Safari.

I wasn’t that interested in Safari 4 but since you’ve pointed out that the they’ve put the tabs right at the top of the screen like that I’m now downloading it.

That seems like a massive improvement to me, although I’m yet to try it…
