Firefox V3

[lintz]

I've just installed V3 of Firefox and have found updates to all but 1 of my existing add-ins ( ) but noticed the 'Back' button doesn't have a 'history' like the 'forward' button does.

Is this by design? (doubt it). I hope it comes back in a future update. as I use it all the time

oh it's out now?!? (downloading...)

[lintz]

Yep

[Lord Orwell]

ok i just tried it. My realplayer download plugin doesn't work!
however you are incorrect. It now has ONE history bar that combines them both. Visited pages are in the dropdown.

Yes; this behaviour is the same as used in Internet Explorer 7. If you go back, the highlight simply moves downwards in the list. I find this pattern more intuitive than separate lists, personally.

[lintz]

I guess I'll get used to it

I'm really liking FF3 Didn't really expect it to run this good and have anything new, but the things that used to bug me about FF are now fixed

Fore example, going to close down the browser because your installing something, and you have multiple tabs up... it now asks you if you want to save your tabs or not... very handy

i don't like the new combo dropdown on the address bar.

I'm not sure that I like the large size of each entry, but I do like the adaptive results.

I have the same problem. Does anyone know when this is going to be fixed?

If you try the most up-to-date version of RealPlayer the plugin should work - it's working OK here on the dev builds.

Right click the back button.

[penagate]

That is the same as clicking the drop down arrow.

I had a problem with getting flash to work, but that was with the RC2 version, and also it's fixed now.

And I feel like I'm the only one who likes the new address bar...

[sciguyryan]

Nah, I like it too. I've been using it for months now and I don't think I could do without it after this long.

I'm using oldbar too, I don't see the point of it searching through my bookmarks because if I bookmarked it, then I should remember it. I don't suffer from memory loss just yet.

The history list places a bullet point next to the location in history at which you're currently at.

I found when I installed FF3 it put 3 icons on the desktop, a short-cut, plus two fire fox icons that I couldn't delete until after I rebooted my pc. What is up with that?

Edit:

Also is anyone else experience in lag between the time you actually double click the exe (or short-cut) to the time the browser actually displays something? This happens to me and the browser only opens after I have opened windows explorer, etc.

Right click the back button.

You, sir, are a genius. <3

on the first launch. After that it gets faster.

For some strange reason mine keeps doing as I said in my previous post. I noticed on the Windows Task Manager that FF wasn't listed under application but under processes, is this normal? FF only display in the application section when the browser is displayed.

not really. if you refer to post 15 ( or test it yourself) you will see that right clicking is just the same as clicking the arrow. no time saved what-so-ever.

[Lord Orwell]

i don't know where but i am sure i have seen that giant button some where before.

[lintz]

which button?

[dclamp]

the back button
