It took me a while to get the bugs worked out. I have all of the "extra" options disabled (e.g. Tooltip Feedback, sooo annoying!) and the middle mouse button hook is also disabled as this was preventing me from middle clicking URLs in FF. I use Mouse Gestures Redox (I'm on FF2 btw, NOT FF3) and it seems to play nicely with that. Only issue I have now is it occasionally gives #MaxHotKeysPerInterval errors when running certain programs (e.g. Mindjet MindManager)...but it's rare enough that I still keep Nifty around. I have looked for an alternative solution to Nifty (NiftyWindows hasn't been updated in the 4 years I've been using it) and I can't find ANYTHING that compares to NiftyWindows. I was a Linux user in my younger days so I am accustomed to more power over window management than a default XP install provides.
