Firefox 3.5 launched

[LazyLion]

Thats why I still stick with good old Firefox 2. Simple, yet brilliant.

Ja, FF 2 is a bit outdated now in terms of web technology. But some people still drive 20 year old cars.

and slow compared to FF3.5!

You still running WFW 3.11?

Now that was a fast OS. Not so stable but fast as hell

my first gripe is that the last tab open has no close button... not even when you right click on the last tab. Sometimes I want to close the last tab for privacy sake or just tidiness... but leave Firefox open to finish the downloads. Try it. You can't close the last tab open. You used to be able to do that quite easily in Firefox 3.0.x

Does this provide a solution?

Thanks Lancelot, I did come across that page. Unfortunately it did not help. My browser already had the setting set to False. I posted a fix a few posts later. Now I have my little X on the last tab as well. You have to modify some of the userChrome.css settings. Thanks anyway.

Bwhahahahahahahahaha

My lord, most browsers do the exact thing BROWSE.

Personal preference comes into play but comparing firefox to a 20 year old car is just laughable. I am a total pc geek but my lord people go nuts over simple browsers.

Very pi$$ed off. 3.5 has thrown away all my history and bookmarks.

The font handling under KDE looks 100x better. That alone makes it worth the effort of trying to recover my bookmarks.

[edit]managed to recover bookmarks, but history seems to be down the tubes [/edit]

If it seems you lost your bookmarks, FF has a handy backup system

Thanks. I used this one to import one of the backups.

The page that I got sent to first off from FF itself made a bit of a mess.

Had problems with FF 3.5 and efiling. The return doesn't open properly and downloading Adobe Reader worked initially but while I was busy with the return, FF crashed.

killa, I know it is sometimes very hard for you to refrain from displaying your ignorance, but please go and read up on how many and which web standards have evolved since FF3 was released.

It's kinda wierd. I have nothing against opera, chrome or safari, but everytime i try them, i end up with firefox.

me +1

maybe I am too comfortable with ff but it has tons of features I don't find elsewhere

I think colour management is now default. I used to follow the instructions here - http://foto.beitinger.de/browser_farbmanagement/index.html
If the first picture (Rot, Grün, Blau) looks ok, then it is enabled.

FF keeps throwing away my cookies after each session. Anyone have any idea where to look to fix this?

 

[mercurial]

It's in the settings.

I can't get that code to work so that I can close my last tab.

Merc, e-mail me at my username at Gmail and I will send you the css file that you just have to copy to your chrome folder.

Here is the Chrome file.... http://www.quickshare.co.za/files/qw5jb1bi/userChrome.css.html

You have to copy that file in Vista or Win 7 to ....

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<ProfileName>\Chrome\
