This policing website stuff is BS. My site was blocked for supposedly having malware, which it absolutely does NOT, and I’ve lost a large percentage of regular traffic over it. On top of that, the assholes at Google/stopbadware.org are very slow getting back to me on the review of my site. I’m not paying for domain registration and storage just so I can have my site sit there, virtually inaccessible, because a huge corporation and some brainless little startup don’t have their shit together.

I downloaded Firefox 3 the latest version and for the most, am quite happy with it. Every now and then I would like to clear the navigation drop-down history. However, as I understand it, in common with a lot of other users it is something which appears to be either very obscure or non existent. Now I fully appreciate by the very nature of software, that his simple request might be a tall order. Without wishing to add to what appears to be a growing complaints list, is it some that can be done?? A simple “YES” or “NO” answer would do. If the answer is “YES” please give an example, otherwise the answer is in the word “NO”.

in the url bar, type about:config, then you want to change 2 values. in the filter field, type browser.urlbar.maxRichResults and modify the value to 0. then in the filter field, type browser.urlbar.search.chunkSize and modify that value to 0 as well.

I too want the return of the GO BUTTON!!!

I want to be able to duplicate the current page just by using the middle click over the GO BUTTON…

GO BUTTON HAS TO BE PRESENT ALWAYS!!!

This is my opinion…

Hi,
I am a proud user of Mozilla for the past 3years. I love the way it works but in the recent past, i have faced a lot of crash issues. Also, this is addressed after i installed the beta 3.2. I have few concern the Bookmarks must have an option to disable when you type in the address bar. Some sites should not be listed when you type in the URL. So please provide the option.The download options are sexy to core. Also, i would suggest you to take steps in minimizing the RAM usage this is really a huge concern. So, Please work on it and bring down the CPU usage. I would love to get feedback on this….

Thanks Rajesh, but I’ve done that, and I’ve left my history blank/cleared, nothing stops the address bar from making completions on my Mac.

Seems great his new Browser but some stuff must be fixed yet.
In OSX Firefox isnt able to Drag to desktop the pictures as it used to do. Now it creats astrange files that means nothing.
Also the are some incompatibilities with Flash.

But the new Address bar is very nice.
The new layout is ok too.

Lets wait for those changes!

John,

You can clear browsing history using Tools->Clear Private Data (Ctrl+Shift+Del).

How do I turn the address autocomplete off? I have history off yet when I type anything in the web address bar it offers suggestions, showing web sites I’ve visited recently. I may not want people who are looking over my shoulder to see I’ve been researching childhood sex abuse the minute I type a letter into the address bar, but that comes up anyway. I realize this may be the wrong forum but I can’t find any info on this. Thanks.

Why the home page icon is removed from the navigation toolbar? It seems a link has been added to the bookmarks toolbar, which is ok. But I just keep the navigation toolbar and I use homepage navigation pretty often :(

I second SiriuS, the Go Button is needed when you want to refresh without resending POST data. I miss the Go Button. I need the Go Button.

It’s not integrated enough with gnome to be called native yet…
But you can tell it’s getting closer. You can’t fake being native. Be looking out for people like me doing the following things:
-using the mac menu hack with gnome
-changing icon themes
-using SCIM
…for a truly integrated app, none of that will be a problem. We will see. For now, I’m excited that they’re giving it a shot. The performance and stability is already way better than FF2.

I HAVE A PROBLEM IN SPREADING FIREFOX, FROM THE WAY FIREFOX HAS TREATED ME IN THE PAST, LIKE BLOCKING OUT MY LINKS I ENVITE AND NOT ALLOWING STUMBLEUPON LINK ON MY FRONT PAGE, SINCE I HAVE THEIR TOOL BAR. ALSO ABOUT MIDDLE DECEMBER, ANY EMAIL I TRIED TO SEND WAS DELETED BY FIREFOX. THIS I CALL COMMUNIST AGAINST FREEDOM OF SPEECH. UNTIL THINGS CHANGE DRASTICALLY IN FAVOR OF CUSTOMERS FROM FIREFOX. I’M NOT PUSHING ANY WEB SITE. NOW ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO I WOULD HAVE AND DID PUSH FIREFOX, BUT FIREFOX 3 HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY. I CAN ONLY TELL IT LIKE IT IS. I JUST DELETED THUNDERBIRD, OF WHICH ALSO BELONGS TO MOZILLA. IT WANTS, NOT WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS.

beta came out of the gate flying, loving it! its rounding turn 3 and turning into the laggy beat down browser i had to delete in your last version. I clear info often. Hard drive struggles, cookies are not working right and YES i read and have them set properly, i have older windows that are not “genuine” and have little options, this browser is starting to run “SO BAD” that even in my situation, im thinking of deleting… sorry for being so blunt but i must be honest, very open to suggestions to fix as i don’t have many options…
