Firefox 3.0 Download Day (Guinness World Record)

Don't like the address bar I miss just clicking on it and having a list of the sites I typed in.

Seems a little faster, now have to wait for google sync extension to be released that works with this version.

For me, its because I had a routine. I hit the g key, pressed down and hit enter. That took me to the forum I spend most of my time on. But with the new address bar, it wasn't giving that to me as the top option. Same for most of the other sites I visit.

links toolbar for the win

I read (maybe even on OCUK) that google are no longer developing google Sync.

I used to use google Sync but will try Foxmarks instead now.

Nah, when you typed in an address it would save it in the address bar drop down so you could just click it and go back to that site, like a shortcut rather then a bookmark.

Where were they? I don't think any such buttons existed in the base configuration. Were they added by a now-disabled extension? Were they found in the customize toolbars menu (they're obviously not there now)?

yeah they were there in the customise toolbar settings, afaik no extension gave me them but maybe tab mix plus did?

bugger, i use that all the time so hope they can get it working for ff3 soon.

In the mean time you could try disabling extension checking in about:config or by using Nightly Tester Tools. Chances are good that it would work just fine for most things.

EDIT:

Tab Mix Plus FF3 version.

The version is available at http://tmp.garyr.net/tab_mix_plus-dev-build.xpi Don't know why this page has not been updated with this version yet, but it works perfectly. It's my fav add-on! Discussion thread is available here: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8925

How many pop-culture references can you count?

• The Day the Earth Stood Still (one of my favorite movies)
• Asimov's Runaround short story
• HGTTG
• Futurama
• Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica

But with the new address bar, it wasn't giving that to me as the top option. Same for most of the other sites I visit.

It learns, so that still applies after a short period of time.

I linked to a blog post in this thread that linked to the dozens of bugs for adding options to restrict searches to tags/history/bookmarks/sock drawer. It's possible the changes will make it into 3.1 which is expected around the end of the year.

about:mozilla

Is pretty good, extracts from "The Book of Mozilla"

The point of the new bar is it learns what you want most out of pressing g. Just live with it, it will learn your needs with in a couple days using it and you wont go back.
