If you are that paranoid of using Internet Explorer for a single download session of FireFox, buy a Mac! Having run both platforms (PC Windows and Mac OSX) Macs for many years, Macs are far less of a problem in many areas of operation. FireFox for Mac is an excellent browser.
Hmmm, interesting name Phil.

I am buying a new PC Tomorrow. Dell XPS. The fools are still locked into a contract with Microsoft for Home and home office Buyers.

I Don’t want to go online!!! WITHOUT FIREFOX! INSTALLED! Please tell me how to but or pay for shipping of a Firefox on CD disk. I beg you!

I have had very amazing results in fending off virus, and L.S.O.’s with better privacy.

PLEASE! A internet connection without Firefox as my default browser is not worth taking it out of the box! I would rather leave it in it’s shipping box then take it out without a Firefox CD to load it. The McAfee security suite is OK. Nothing protects like the FRONT LINE GUARD- THE Browsers get it 1st! Then, it in a nano-second a mailware can bypass all the security in the world you may have installed!

Uninstall personas and downgrade to version 1.4:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/10900#version-1.4

to get behavior like before.

Any way to change the “New Tabs open next to Current Tab” setting? I preferred new tabs to be opened at the end of the tabs.

The integration of personas is such awful ! The stand alone extension allowed to use persona beside themes, and now we have to chose between a cool theme and persona with that ugly default theme !

You guys should have let personas alone it was really better in 3.5 !

I’ve been running Noia 2.0 for sometime and recently I gave Personas a try. I really like being able to run Personas “Aurora Borealis” and Noia together, looks great, no loss of functionality.

I tried 3.6 on my test computer and it defaults back to the original Firefox theme which I detest and turned Noia off. I realize that the Noia builder needs to update Noia to be compatible to 3.6 but upon doing some research it turns out I can’t run Personas and Noia in 3.6 at all.

Perhaps instead of Personas being part of the build of 3.6 it should have been left as an extension as I was using in 3.5.

Also, I wish that while 3.6 was in development you good folks could have given more attention to the Norton IPS and Norton Toolbar 3.7 before rolling 3.6 out. Many people utilize Norton and the availability of having secure login assisted by Norton’s password bank if you will, allows the ease of having all my passwords available. IE8 works and I can certainly use it to do my banking and whatnot but needless to say I prefer FIREFOX. I guess I could always go back to Opera…Hmmmm….Perhaps, you could state in future releases, of updates, that certain add-ons or themes won’t work so the individual can decide if they won’t to download or not.

Note; 3.6 does load much faster, HOO-RAY! 3.5 loads like a sloth. Love Firefox, keep up the good work. Rolling back to 3.5.7.

Why am I now forced to use the default theme to use personas at all. My choice on 3 of my machines now is either default theme with persona or different theme, but no persona. If I roll over a persona nothing happens. Click wear it and it makes me restart Firefox and goes back to the default theme.

As usual, I had forgotten (got used to) all the nice little things that have been improved since 3.5. Thanks for reminding me!

I’m not seeing ‘browser.ctrlTab.mostRecentlyUsed’ in my about:config. When I changed the ‘browser.ctrlTab.previews’ setting it accomplished what you say ‘browser.ctrlTab.mostRecentlyUsed’ should accomplish.

Also, I don’t have the ‘Show all Tabs’ button in the far right. I just have the arrow pointing down that list all of the tabs.

The Show all Tabs button appears when you press Ctrl+Tab and bring up the thumbnail view.
