dunno if it's been mentioned before, but I just downloaded a new (free) browser called firefox. For those not too computer savvy this would be used in place of internet exlorer or netscape &c

anyway, the webpage here

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/all.html

shows you the whole list of available languages and operating systems for the browser...to my great surprise, under "I" is "Irish," so I downloaded and installed it and it's great. I had long ago given up on internet explorer and netscape for sheer suckiness, and I found I like firefox alot (Safari users out there will know what I mean). All the menu items and selections, as well as all dialog windows and buttons are Gaeilge-only (except for a couple bookmark items that are default English but can be renamed)...

I'm like a kid with a new toy...

Agam le tamall. Iontach.

I've been using Firefox since the earliest versions. Haven't used IE in many years(THANK GOD!). Something that those of you new to Firefox might like is a little config change that speeds it up quite a bit:

Type about:config in the Address bar and hit enter.
Type pipe in the Filter editbox.
Set network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining to true.

Cuma deas air, go deimhin.

you can also have google in gaelic. or gaidhlig. Thats always fun to use.

I can't get Firefox to work as Gaeilge on my Mac. I downloaded everything, and I see the Tools > Languages > ga-IE (Irish (IE)) option on my menu, but I can't select it.

If I try running the command line option to start it, it just comes up with a prompt to create a new profile.

Any suggestsions?
