News Firefox 3.6 released

Are you allowing scripts to run and are you sure you have 3.6 installed?

Also a rather good extension is available for personnas called personas plus it adds in a whole bunch of extra functionality and gives you access to every single persona on the site from the tools menu.

 

Still running 3.0 here as the Athens toolbar STILL hasn't got an update to the newer versions of FF.

I use Chrome now for my main browsing, much cleaner and less mess surrounding the window. Have to put up with ads as no adblocker, but it's so fast it really doesn't matter.

Whoever made the comment on "my email started spamming people on my contact list (was rather annoying to be receiving emails from my own address telling me to go to some site to buy PSP's and other electronics)....." I doubt it has anything to do with it. In fact, my bet is you have a hotmail account. These are the main target of this spam hack. Also, as hotmail is webmail it is separate from your pc.

 

Chrome now has adblocker. Just go to the add-ons page for Chrome

 

Dang. It broke everything, only 3 add-ons and 1 theme work. I'm going to wait a bit while everything catches up.

EDIT: Nice to see Personas are no longer an afterthought.

 

@fodder FYI, the latest version of Chrome now supports extensions. There's an ad-block ap and a load of others, although they're obviously not as mature yet as the FF ones. Go to https://chrome.google.com/extensions

OT, I'm not that bothered about FF although my girlfriend uses it. I'll be trying it out on there but I doubt we'll notice much difference. Keep telling her to use Chrome since it takes up less screen space on a small netbook, but she's not interested.

 

Ah, it was a script issue.
Thanks for that.

 

Doh! Just realised that all these personas use the default icons, which suck.

 

Still no jumplist support. Get on it Mozilla.

 

The new tab opening position is a bit unsettling (I'm used to them opening at last position)
Also, does scrolling feel "different" to you ? It does for me compared to 3.5. Cannot tell how, but it does. maybe faster or something. (smooth scrolling is still off)

 

forecastfox and download statusbar are not compatible at the moment

tabmixplus, downthemall and xmarks are


just so you guys know

 

Too late I just jumped ship to chrome, don't think I will ever return unless FF sandbox each tab like chrome - such an awesome idea.

 

It also means it'll remember everything you've ever typed in there and show it to anyone touching your computer...

Example: you type "bittech" and as soon as you type the "b" it'll show you "Bittech" and "Bustybabes" and anything else with a "B"

Do I understand this right:

It remembers all my previous forms? Or just the one from the current session?

 

Greetings!

Thats some weird behaviour!
Mozilla shouldnt have changed that.

Fix it by doing this:

ForecastFox worked for me no problem. FasterFox Lite did not work at first, but that was because the auto update was not working. There was an updated version that worked just fine.
