I'm so happy!

Since I've been using Firefox, I've gotten very dependant on tabs. I hate to navigate away from a page just for a link, and I've grown irritated with the "new windows" thing you do with IE. So my time on the library computers was annoying for a reason other than the icky mouses - I couldn't tab! Nooooo!

*grins*

Today they forgot to lock a computer down properly. So now I have my firefox, and my tabbed browsing. Yay!

I agree that it is very comforting to have the familiar, happy tabby browsing, but as a librarian, I feel obligated to say that it tends to piss us off when people find ways around the download-preventing systems. There are reasons we've got them on. I dunno about your library computers, but ours are troubled and burdened with massive use and disuse, and programs that people install on them usually add to their distress with popups and taking up memory, etc.

If you came to my library, I would have to scold you for that and uninstall it. Because that's my job. Hopefully your librarians are more easygoing about installations and downloads.

I don't think they care, actually. Nobody finds a way around this stuff, they get taken off for various reasons and nobody bothers to put them back on. *shrugs*
