- Ducttape38, on 07/08/2008, -0/+115What, did everybody expect them to stop after 3.0?
- rockus, on 07/07/2008, -5/+119I don't understand the gripe towards awesome bar. Its so damn useful!
- matt247, on 07/08/2008, -1/+74People don't like the awesome bar because it's shows their porn viewing history. imagine you trying to open youtube.com when youporn.com shows up and your girlfriend/wife sees it. Not so awesome is it?
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -1/+57Only Retards Hate Awesome Bar. I don't even book mark stuff anymore because the Awesome Bar knows what i am looking for and makes finding stuff super easy.
- strangerzero, on 07/08/2008, -8/+33Spend more time on Thunderbird is my recommendation.
- waydee, on 07/08/2008, -2/+25ctrl+shift+del
- lacronicus, on 07/08/2008, -10/+28" You boss walks up and asks you to pull up something. You create a new tab and start typing 'www'. You get that far and FF3 displays a huge banner with hotjobs or whatever. "
Oh noes! Firefox won't let me slack off at work anymore! Whatever shall I do? - Jordan117, on 07/08/2008, -2/+20Get the best of both worlds using the Distrust add-on. It's a little icon that lives in your status bar or Tools menu. Click it on, and from then until you toggle it off again it will monitor and delete cache, history, cookies, saved forms, and even alert you about any downloads you forgot to delete. You can also specify what you want it to delete.
It's great because it lets you take advantage of the AwesomeBar and Firefox's history library while still being discreet...
You can get it here:

I've been using it for the last few weeks and it's great, no trouble at all. - DarknessGP, on 07/08/2008, -0/+17Why the hell are you typing "www"?!!! if it's a .com type the main section and press ctrl+enter. so like www.google.com would be "google" then ctrl+enter.
- DocCochran, on 07/08/2008, -1/+17"Lets imagine you have have been visiting a jobs site. You boss walks up and asks you to pull up something. You create a new tab and start typing 'www'. You get that far and FF3 displays a huge banner with hotjobs or whatever. What a stupid idea."
lol, sure. That's the reason; it's not porn-related at all! - TheWindBlows, on 07/07/2008, -5/+19Close your eyes then proceed to do these steps
Ctrl+Shift+Del then press Enter
Yes I am here to ruin your life. - Nouman6, on 07/08/2008, -0/+14I think at least a new Thunderbird should be released before firefox 4
- sgent, on 07/08/2008, -1/+13My number one request for version 4 -- multithreading. I hate it when I open a PDF or javascript (/. comes to mind) page and it locks up the browser. This is the one reason I still switch back between IE and FF.
- dsmx, on 07/08/2008, -0/+12It would be nice if there was a private viewing mode that didn't record your history when activated.
- comrade693, on 07/08/2008, -2/+12...and yet nobody cares...
- drjekelmrhyde, on 07/09/2008, -0/+10How hard would it be for Mozilla to add a 'disable Awesome bar option' under Options
- ObeseSnake, on 07/08/2008, -0/+9Native 64 bit Windows version would be nice.
- Jammerdelray, on 07/08/2008, -0/+9The Awesome bar is pretty nice. Will be even better once it's refined.
- Rikkochet, on 07/08/2008, -7/+14I find it useful, but Mozilla's attitude that "you should just get used to it" instead of offering an option to toggle it (or select where it searches) is beyond *****.
- Apocalyptic0n3, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6And Microsoft offering the choice to switch between Standards and Non-Standards mode is a great idea too. If you develop something for the future, make it the future. Don't allow people to go back to the past. You live in the past and computers don't evolve at all. What's the point of that?
- SPThom, on 07/08/2008, -1/+7I don't know if I should digg you for mocking the whiners or bury you for being one of them.
EDIT: Oh, you were mocking one of the whiners in the article. +1 - WatchDoit, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6I've had minor problems with Firefox restarting, but I love the smart bar feature.
- str1fe, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6And if it's a .org, do ctrl+shift+enter
For .net, do alt+shift+enter - NikkiA, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6That doesn't stop it being awesome for those of us that have a spine and are willing to admit to being adults AND viewing porn.
- fas2, on 07/08/2008, -1/+7But that deletes everything :(
- prattmic, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6Its a flash bug, recent versions of flash only allow about 14 instances of flash to be open, then it stops.
- TravisOwens, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6I agree, I'd like to see each tab run in it's own thread, that way if one tab is busy (or jammed) I can't access the other threads. And of course be able to close a hung tab without closing Firefox as a whole. This is a drum I've been beating since FF3 went into beta, I kind of expected it this time around, maybe FF4.

You could try Stealther: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q ...
Problem is, it basically ends up denying all cookies, because of how it works. So some stuff doesn't work while you're browsing privately with it. If anyone else knows of an alternative, that'd be cool. But it works for me for now. - SuperMoses, on 07/08/2008, -2/+7Maybe it's just me, but I've found Firefox 3 to be very buggy. When I close it, I still see it's running in my processes and eating up a ton of memory. Here's a screenshot I took the other day - http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/4862/firefoxwl4 ...
- Slothy88, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5seriously..
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/622 ...
Using FF 2.x instead of 3.0 is like using AOL instead of broadband because you like the "You've got mail" sound. - drunknmunky1, on 07/09/2008, -0/+4Thunderbird isn't being developed by the Mozilla Foundation anymore. It's being developed by Mozilla Messaging which is a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation but they aren't the same group of people.
- TedTschopp, on 07/09/2008, -0/+4What addons are you using?
- DarknessGP, on 07/08/2008, -3/+7doubtful... more than likely people thought they would launch and take a break... which is funny since FF3 was in the middle of development when FF2 was launched.
- crazycraka, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3for real it gets annoying when someone wants to use ur comp and ur like hold on.. so u gotta go and delete all the history..
- comrade693, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Flash maybe?
- Duositex, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3Mozilla's attitude makes perfect sense. They're saying, "This is the product of our efforts. If you don't like it, please do not forget this software is open source AND extensible through a well-documented API."
- Napiertt, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4It's not stealing. All useful innovations in a particular field are going to propagate amongst manufacturers of competing products. It's like saying Toyota (and every other car manufacturer) stole air bags from Mercedes (or whoever came up with it first), or Ford stole anti-lock brakes from whoever. It really doesn't make sense when you think about it.
- tj111, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4For '.net' domains, you only need 'shift+enter', not 'alt+shift+enter' as mentioned above.
- mohtasham, on 07/09/2008, -1/+4Damn, I've been having the same problem with awesome bar. I really love it. however, i'm a big fan of porn websites, and it has shown those website to couple of my friends. I don't have a wife and girlfriend, otherwise I would be ***** lol.
- mooninite, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3There's a stark difference between development process advertising between the open source world and proprietary world. In the FOSS world, every detail of the development process is usually seen. People know what's coming down the line today instead of just three days before launch. Where in the proprietary world, the same time frame of new version development may be happening, but only the privileged know about upcoming versions, and careful beta tester selections with NDAs are not uncommon. Therefore, most people (most people run Windows) might think it's strange and unusual for Mozilla to be doing such a thing.
- eazhar, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Yeah, because the awesomebar's return of all the porn pages you've been surfing isn't whats going to embarrass you
- fishpen0, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Or just type google, it still comes up, works with most websites.
- MikeMcG, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2All-in-One Gestures for rocker navigation, ColorZilla, Download Statusbar, DTA, Gmail Notifier, IE Tab, Sage, and Web Developer. Any ideas?
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Do something for me: type one letter, any letter and post the first site that comes up.
/horseporn - redneckblues, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2I know, the same people who bitch about Vista are the ones saying "Deal with it" on this AwesomeBar thing. Choice is a good thing.
- eazhar, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3activesync computability plz...?
- GeeNeeYes, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2I guess its good that they didnt patent their ideas
Opera doesnt mind and as they themselves say, anyone is free to use the ideas. Its good for competition - ptFoe, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2They didn't plan on stopping like the IE developers after 6.
- dagamer34, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2I think he's looking for the "Private Browsing" feature in Safari to hide his pr0n searches...
