    Is this with Internet Explorer? I couldn't get it working with it and left it, fine with Firefox. If you are using FF and its not working, try using the tool here and then reinstall after a restart.

    When you do get it working try using the VideoDownloader extension for Firefox. Follow the instructions and you can download any YouTube (and more) video you like :)

    Mods, if you feel this violates policy, please remove.

    Yep you can use tab browsing in FF, also download Tab Mix Plus for more options. I suggest you take a look here too.

    I think it was FF that came out with tabbed browsing, not sure though. There are lots of very useful extensions for FF, no harm having a look through them here. There is one where you can switch the interface to IE from within FF.

    Oh man, firefox is way better than IE! MS only introduced tabbed browsing as a result of browsers like FF offering it! Seriously, have a look at the extensions in FF, they are so useful!! As a Biologist BioBar is one of my favourite but I love so many other things about it too. Although I'm very concerned by the recent revelations regarding a supposedly unpatchable Javascript handling critical flaw :(

    Not something to worry unduly about if you know what you're at and I'm sure a major re-write of the JS handling will fix this, I'll still use Firefox over IE anyday!

    Edit: Ruu, I think that Opera or even Neoplanet browsers may have had tabbed browsing before FF, not sure, I may be mixed up but I seem to remember tabs in both while even the practically dead Mozilla browser was still a twinkle in the eye of the Mozilla people...way before Firefox :)

    Like this FF already, must look more in2 the add-ons. I can't believe how much faster it loads pages compared to IE. No going back now :D

    Must tidy up my bookmarks now.

    WIth Ie videos will not play in youtube if you have the browser security settings on high. Ive never tried FF i might try it out now though if it will speed up my browsing.
