Avant Browser

I had noticed this behavior (since rollout of AB 2013) whenever I start my AB session. In my case, however, the tabs being opened are homepage, additional homepages, & startup Autofills (rather than tabs saved from the last session). I had *assumed*--perhaps incorrectly--that the pause(s) occurred b...

About a year ago (I think), I got resolutions to two problems I was having (see closed thread at http://forum.avantforce.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=31163&hilit=+zoom). Both of those problems have returned since the rollout of the official (post-beta) builds of AB 2013. Specifically: (1) When I open an...

Back, Forward, Reload, Home, etc., & the Address bar

This is one bar.I will request anderson to separate them.

Thank you very much.

Maybe Anderson should pull the new interface back out and just work to fix all the problems in the classic interface and improve the performance and stability of Avant. From the posts on the forums, it seems as though a lot of us are reverting back to the classic skins anyway. I tend to agree with ...

I can confirm. It *appears* that the collection of buttons representing Print, Save, History, etc., may be moved to either before or after the Search box, but NOT between the buttons for Back, Forward, Reload, Home, etc., & the Address bar. Yet, even that "appearance" of movability is bogus: Re-star...

Rightly or wrongly, I've always followed the practice of doing a re-boot after an uninstall, in the belief that some vestiges of the uninstalled program are likely to remain until a re-start of Windows ... either by design (that is, the uninstall routine stipulates certain bits will not be removed u...

My thumbnail preview is not working (The show tab thumbnail preview is checked.) That specific problem--which has only started since the roll-out of AB 2013--would suggest that there is something of AB 2013 still extant on you hard drive even though you're running AB 2012. When you re-installed AB ...

Dear admins,

Was this request ever taken underconsideration?

I just noticed that xiaobing has responded, in a different thread, that the Split button has been intentionally removed from the tab bar.

See http://forum.avantforce.com/viewtopic.p ... 47#p189748

I was just commenting on this on another thread. (For what it's worth, I'm using Windows 7 (32-bit) & Aero Glass skin.) After testing Split view (the subject of that thread), I discovered I suddenly had the minimize/restore/close buttons at the end of my menu bar (which puts them, as it happens, dir...

The screen captures you reference aren't appearing. I haven't used split view much (or at all) in the past but, like you, I find that the split button next to the new tab button ("+") in the tab bar has gone missing in AB Ult. 2013 bld. 12. However, I am able to get Split View to work by selecting i...

I, too, had been having MM-click issues thoughout the most recent betas of AB 2013 (probably beta 6-on), but they went away with a complete, clean install of AB 2013 Ult. build 12. Have you tried a clean install (rather than install-over-old-version) of the latest build?

I haven't used split view much (or at all) in the past, but I believe it's not quite right with me, too. Most notably, isn't there supposed to be a split button next to the new tab button ("+") in the tab bar? I don't seem to have that button anymore. N.B.: I'm using AB Ult. 2013 bld. 12 in Windows ...

Oops! I completely skipped the two words after "2012" in that sentence ...

Tinman, you can have the speed of AB 2013 and the tab bar on the bottom if you use one of the skins other the those in the Stickers & Opal families (also known as the new GUI skins). Using one old GUI skins (such as Aero Glass) will allow you to manipulate your AB 2013 layout so that it appears to b...

May I suggest/request the addition of a "skin" field to the user profile info? I've noticed, since we now have skins (in AB 2013) which materially change the interface, that the problems or bugs experienced by "old skin" users are different from those experienced by "new skin" users. As such, having...

I believe you'll see that Mike edited his previous comment so that it gives you the answer to your question.

After the one time I had to replace/recreate the profile folder, it occurred to me that I might have saved a lot of time if I had just blown away or replaced the ".ini" file found at

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Avant Profiles\.default\gecko\profiles.ini

The instructions given earlier should now read: Try this: Open Tools > INTERNET EXPLORER > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > Uncheck "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions (Require Restart) This assumes, however, that you are using AB with the IE rendering engine (rather than the Mozilla/Firefox or ...

From the menu bar, choose
Tools -> Avant Browser Options ... -> Miscellaneous
and uncheck the box for Downloads (near bottom of list)
