    Normally i always have an internet connection wherever i go. However at work i forgot to plug in an ethernet cable. I finished what i needed to do and opened up firefox to check out engadget and the like, and to they opened fine. then it hit me, i was not connected to any network, wired or wireless. It had cached the pages from earlier in the day! Every website i had viewed before was available offline for me to view. It was kinda cool!

    Yeah... I realized this couple of days back in the lab, when the internet connection went down for a while and I didn't notice it... was viewing pages in firefox on my laptop.. and then had to send an email from the desktop and there was no net connection.. I was like wth!!! (of course it didn't strike me about this cache thing, and I was like wow, something new with firefox :D :p)

    What's with you and your 'now famous' 333 tabs????? :mad: :mad: :p :p :D

    Nice. It's a great feature to have.

    Anyone know when FF3.1 will be official? It's Beta now.

    When things go bad in your life, you get bored and start doing stupid things.
    Tomorrow I`ll reduce the DPI to as small as I can, then see exactly how many tabs Opera can take...

    Ugh, sounds like it takes up loads of disk space.
    IE FTW!


    :p
    Just kidding, my FF erases everything when I close it.
