set up firefox as a text only browser
Hi All
I'd like to set Firefox up with a (close to lynx) text only profile. To do this I should disable:
ALL CSS Styles
All Javascript
All Flash
All Images
All Java
Anything else I should do?
Also my Firefox seems to forget that I have disabled CSS Styles each tme I move to a new page - if this is not unusual is there a way to disable css once.
Thanks Pete

Hello Alastc
Taking your tip I've updated my Opera and found this article:
http://www.opera.com/...
Does it describe the way you use Opera in text mode? not sure where i get the 'lynx lookalike' mode you mentioned.
minor irritation for me - the G key (to toggle images) and Ctrl+G (toggle Auth mode) don't appear to work for me.
otherwise great thanks.

I was just thinking of switching to user mode (make sure you've got the 'view' bar up, perhaps click on the glasses icon), and then select 'emulate text browser'.
Beyond that, I guess it depends what you are trying to achieve with this? Very few people actually use Lynx (probably most are sys-admins going through a command line), so turning off styling in Firefox / Opera is generally just as good.
