Silver Skin 0.0.2 - Your favourite browser with a silver skin (Works with FF 2)

Posted on Sat, 17 Feb 2007 06:14:28 PST at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/4525/

CAUTION

On the Silver Screen home page http://firefoxskins.awardspace.com, you will see it is under construction.

I clicked on the Link to enter the FUN PAGE. It contains only dialogie boxes with endless chatter, questions etc. This is irrelevant though as the problem is that you CAN'T close the dialogue box nor close the program itself. This means that that access to anything on your current window is also not accessable. I'm sure it was supposed to be fun, but I found it stupid and frustrating. I had to shut it down vie Task Manager, which closes the entire browser, therefore loosing my current web sites.

If I have got this wrong and there really is a purpose to this little bit of fun, then my apologies.

I created a page like that once:
http://drsmall.phpnet.us/misc/evilscript.html

But for Firefox, there is a simple trick to get out of those annoying dialog boxes.
The trick is, place your cursor in the toolbar, above the actual content of the page, and continuously press Enter, which will proceed to the next one.
The person usually sets up that script for 'onmouseover', which means when you move your mouse over the page, it automatically brings up the dialog box, and you have to do, as what Moon did.

So, just remember that simple trick, and you can get out of them (normally), and still keep you Tabs open
