Windows 7 jump lists for Firefox too
A useful tool introduced with the latest development releases of Windows 7 are jumplists: small context menus for taskbar icons that provide quick access to common tasks for each application/document. However, since Windows is still in RC status and Firefox 3.5 features was frozen a few months ago, it will not support them until at least the next major release (I doubt it will be added in a .5.x update).
Fortunately, Windows 7 users can now try Winfox, a simple utility developed by Brent Friedman that brings jumplists to Firefox. Despite a few bugs and shortcomings it seems to be working pretty well for most users. I recently reloaded my ThinkPad and still haven’t get to reinstalling Windows 7, so please share your experience if you try it.
Winfox is available in 32 and 64-bit versions.

wtf?
@ leandro
What is it so wrong about slow development? Version numbering doesn’t determine the amount of features should be added.

One major problem about the development of firefox is the slow development; new features one comes with major releases. Mozilla team doesnt do like Opera (9.5 release, 9.6 release all brings new and small features) and i think its wrong.
But nice news Percy :)
