I type in “ne”, and it sorts “slashdot-NEws for NErds”, and “groklaw.NEt”, and a few other things, BEFORE “NEws.google.com”.

If I WANTED slashdot, I would have typed “sl”. If I WANTED groklaw, I would have typed “gr”.

Do the people who design these things even type at all when they use the browser, or do just they think they are helping out old people who don’t know how to use a mouse with fancy icons?????

It appears to me that this implementation is ONLY for people who ONLY use the location bar when they can’t remember the name of that nifty site they visited last night. For people who habitually navigate by typing, it sucks big time.

The rest of Mozilla 3 might be the best thing ever, but I have to get past this stupidity before I can figure that out.

BTW, there is a bug (on Ubuntu Hardy Heron) where clicking a checkbox, as long as the focus stays in the checkbox, you can’t see whether it is checked or not. That’s kind of sucky, but not nearly as obnoxious as the URL autocompletion issue.

I especially like the speed of it all. Good clean UI for sure. The button is a nice touch.

There isn’t even any remote comparison to IEX. 7 or 8, they’re both clunky and slow. IEX 8 is laughable and still cannot deliver the page load speed, or proper viewing that ff3 can. If anything, IEX is slower and heavier than ever before. In this day and age of lightning fast connections, you don’t want a slower browser … IEX just keeps leaving a bigger and bigger footprint as the months pass by.

I never was much of a ff fan in the first place, but since ff3 came along, well, IEX is looked upon more as being DOA than anything else now. All of our machines have got it now.

Now, if we could just be rid of that silly location bar drop down, we’ll be all set.

You see? I do alot of reading, and after a while of reading, I’ve got quite a history built up.

I’ll start typing into the location bar just before I’m finished reading whatever article I’m on (hitting enter when I’m done), and the drop down covers it up … Pain In The Arse.

If I can figure out a way to shut that stupid drop down off I will.

Presently the window defaults to encapsulate the entire window.

Thank-you,

j have only 256KB RAM and mean this is sometimes one of problems by chrash.

Other question is while nedd FIREFOX about 90MB running space ?

J have no other Problems with MOZILLA jet.

J have also LINUX UBUNTU 6.10 and sometimes Trouble with updates. Small RAM ?!

My PC is over six jears old but excellent for my doing.

Peter here i have recently been having problems opening “internet explorer” it is very frustrating, wanting to open a web cite and not being able to open internet explorer” so i thought i would give “Fire Fox” a go see how it goes surely i won’t have problems with “Fire Fox” as well.

Maybe you could tell me what the problem is with “internet explorer”

Kind regards Peter

All the time delete the internet explorer my defaults for mozilla firefox Beta 3 Version.

After some update of microsoft they delete mozilla firefox an can not change the default settings.

Also j can not delete internet explorer from my programm settings. All the time come back the installation from MS.

You need to let me sign mozilla firefox for 1. browser and nothing else.

In LINUX UBUNTU Vers. 6.10 j have no Problems mit MOZILLA.

Only in MS XP Prof.

Forecast fox does not give the option for the radar to be live or a desired size.Which is one of the best reasons to have a homepage on FF.

With Firefox 3 you have to know what folder structure you need ahead of time (how many of us are prescient?) or execute a two step create-folder/bookmark operation.

This appears to be a major usability issue for a significant fraction of the comments on this page — I personally hope it is fixed soon.

In beta 4 there doesn’t seem to be a way to disable it. The oldbar extension still matches all sites with a “the” in the title, and there is no browser.urlbar.richResults in about:config. **It badly needs an off button in the options menu.** You certainly shouldn’t have to use an extension to remove functionality, that’s counter-intuitive.

I support turning it on by default though. I can imagine my grandmother liking it, and it’ll only annoy vetern users who are capable of disabling it.

You people have to be kidding! IE 8 beats this by miles!”

I beg to differ, the IE 8 interface and toolbar in the beta’s that I’ve seen are exactly the same as IE 7. Actually IE 8 has only recently passed the Acid 2 test which Firefox 2 also hasn’t passed but has gotten much closer too (Firefox 3 beta 2 was the first to fully pass the test). IE is based off of the Trident rendering engine which has remained practically unchanged since IE’s launch where as Firefox is based off the much faster and far more robust Gecko engine. Not to mention the fact that using Firefox over IE cuts security issues and risks in half cause IE has more holes in it than swiss cheese. This all aside from the fact that IE 8 is what IE 7 *should* have been at it’s launch. This is what I said on my blog November of last year,

“There are many theory’s as to what will be added to Windows 7, but I’ll try to add in the ones I think are most likely. One is IE 9. IE 7 as we all know isn’t that great of a piece of software. It was a rushed release to slow the growth of Firefox, and incorporated many new features, but most of these where buggy and tended to act more like a cheap copy of Firefox. Look for IE 8 to improve on the interface and new features and to make IE 7 what it *should* have been before. This makes IE 9 in a prime time for new features and better performance (pray that IE will finally pass the Acid 2 test).”

Did I say it, or did I say it….

On a side note, about the site you linked to, pull your head out of your…. yeah.

How lazy can you get? Just drag the button to where you want it, man! That’s why there is a Customize option for the toolbars in the first place!”

there is no home button in the customize menu…..
