firefox inside firefox
« on: April 12, 2007, 10:47 AM »
Hi all,
this one is fun:
http://seejay.wordpress.com/2007/04/11/firefox-inside-firefox/

Totally harmless. Really amusing.

Got it?

Now, try it recursively for a few more levels and then see the fun!
(Try more than one level only if you've got enough RAM (512 here) and you don't have programs running)

Finally, close the innermost window by pressing File->Exit and see the *whole* thing go ... poof!

Enjoy!

well darn, I have to wait untill I get home to look at it, stupid school blocks that site, and I am to lazy to wait for a proxy site to load on the crappy capped internet connection.

though I can still comment, totally harmless? lol, not to your ram.

How I dont like such blogs - no links to where he got "trick" from, probably in Mozillazines Knowledge base. Here is a 1 year old article about the same but with added useful chrome addresses http://cow.neondragon.net/index.php/415-Fun-With-Firefox-Chrome-Urls Tons more in 1 of the comments - some worthy of a bookmark.

Thanks dk70! :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

yes, he could've picked it up from the mozilla docs

the rest of the examples on that page are good.

everyone, have a look - it's useful and makes you feel kinda savvy ;)
