  • pspLite, on 06/21/2009, -4/+349Dont continue this trend. Morons might not know you are joking.
  • dhirschl, on 06/21/2009, -39/+384Sure, Firefox may win in sheer number of add-ons, but many of the customizations you'd want to download for Firefox are already a part of Internet Explorer 8 – right out of the box.
  • lanemik, on 06/21/2009, -12/+333Exactly. Plus IE8 is so much more secure and standards compliant than any other browser. I really don't know why you'd want to use anything else.
  • arTech, on 06/21/2009, -3/+194Dugg for sarcasm
  • Cl1mh4224rd, on 06/21/2009, -1/+150Wow. Two comments correctly identified, for the most part, as sarcasm without the need for "/s".

    Something's wrong here...
  • Dougman82, on 06/21/2009, -0/+88Whoosh
  • Giac, on 06/20/2009, -9/+87Firefox YES!
  • Radan, on 06/21/2009, -3/+77"Dynamic Color Profiles"

    God damn finally.
  • elliott9, on 06/21/2009, -0/+42you can, use the DEL key.... or maybe its SHIFT + DEL, cannot remember.
  • djdisconess, on 06/21/2009, -0/+37Yep, just hover over the entry and press delete. Easier than pi.
  • Altair27, on 06/21/2009, -0/+37"Anything that really makes getting backs getting back to importantly web destinations quickly is a welcome upgrade."

    wat
  • c5kirk, on 06/21/2009, -0/+24http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer ...
  • Kalahan6, on 06/21/2009, -1/+23Make sure you update you flash player. Seriously. It's like miracle cure for Firefox crashing.
  • rockrapdude, on 06/21/2009, -0/+20When will it be released? I still have to see a news article on digg to read about it.
  • coheedcollapse, on 06/22/2009, -0/+19I thought that going to college and graduating with a degree in photojournalism plus three years working as a photographer for a local paper makes me a photographer.

    Now lets see yours.
  • stereosaurus, on 06/21/2009, -0/+19It's in RC2 right now, IIRC they have, in the past, released after RC2 or 3, so probably relatively soon. I'm running RC2 right now and it seems every bit as stable as a 3.0.11 install.
  • brooklotzkar, on 06/21/2009, -0/+18It wasn't talking about undoing closed tabs, but instead, undoing closed WINDOWS
  • laurente, on 06/21/2009, -4/+22If only Firefox will crash less, I will still fall in love with it. The only thing I hate about FF is that it crashes more often now than before ~_~
  • HelplessSEAL, on 06/21/2009, -0/+173.5 is great, but what is up with the go-bots styled theme that they have on the update page?
  • Cl1mh4224rd, on 06/21/2009, -0/+16Off-topic, but... how the hell do you start off at +0?
  • meridian, on 06/21/2009, -5/+20Opera Unite is pretty cool.
  • eihwaz, on 06/21/2009, -0/+15I've just checked them in 3.5rc2, and they are still not 100%.
    You can try the test yourself at http://tinyurl.com/icctest
    The 2 lower parts of the image are now ok, but the 2 top ones are still wrong.
  • veosotano, on 06/21/2009, -2/+17I'd put the /s in it just in case... mind the morons!
  • mcprogrammer, on 06/21/2009, -0/+15Yes, it's available in 3.0, but it's not turned on by default. You have to go to about:config and turn on gfx.color_management.enabled.

    I think they disabled it by default because it was slow. I'm assuming they improved the performance in 3.5.
  • Scaryclouds, on 06/21/2009, -0/+14You can restore tabs, but not windows.

    They are however incorrect in the article suggesting you needed an add-on to do that as it's built into FF 3.
  • exloser, on 06/21/2009, -0/+14I love internet explorer cus it helps me get firefox.
  • xwater, on 06/21/2009, -0/+13reading the burried comments makes me lol
  • laofmoonster, on 06/22/2009, -1/+14Has Firefox really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
  • ath1337, on 06/21/2009, -0/+12Thanks for the tip man! I did not know about this.
  • elliott9, on 06/21/2009, -1/+13nightly tester tools. install it and use it to "force" installation of tab mix plus. I have been doing it with no issues.
    :)
  • RPGmaster, on 06/21/2009, -0/+12I think you're refering to ctrl+shif+t which restores the last closed tab.
  • Gizza, on 06/22/2009, -0/+11That's because they are not just sarcastic remarks, they are copied from the Microsoft comparison chart that has made the front page 20 times in the last week.
  • Hellahulla, on 06/21/2009, -0/+11Number 1 is a nice feature for whole windows, but why are they acting like you could only do that with tabs if you had an extension added? It's been part of FF since the late 2's I think.
    Still the thing I'm looking forward to mist is the speeded up javascript engine. Hopefully it'll manage memory better too.
  • CLShortFuse, on 06/21/2009, -0/+11Nope, still leaks. I sometimes don't put my computer on standby and when I come back to it after 4hrs+ I have to kill the process.
  • 3242130193, on 06/21/2009, -0/+11My guess is karma... it's mostly trolls that I see with 0 positive diggs.
  • pingveno, on 06/21/2009, -1/+12I'm curious whether the problem is memory leaks or that everything just takes a lot of memory.
  • TheSeeker11, on 06/21/2009, -1/+12Firefox is good.
  • cozinator, on 06/21/2009, -1/+11I hope the <video> tag gets adopted quickly across the web.
  • fxspec06, on 06/21/2009, -1/+11they outta lock you up(tm)
  • Plonkely, on 06/21/2009, -0/+10Oh, we're not idiots; I think we're just annoyed by your pedantic attitude over such a minor issue.
  • diggforworld, on 06/21/2009, -4/+14and Firefox FTW!
  • iDVD, on 06/21/2009, -2/+12More like Ctrl-Shift-T.

    You can see the shortcut if you go to the Menu Bar, History -> Recently Closed Tabs.

    Hardly new, or requiring an extension.
  • rangah, on 06/21/2009, -0/+10I can't think of a single site I've ever visited that was rendered useless by adblock. Not one.
  • miketowninc, on 06/21/2009, -5/+14WOW stop being so innovative, firefox!!
  • tanmaker, on 06/21/2009, -1/+10Somebody didn't get the joke
  • darkNiGHTS, on 06/21/2009, -0/+9And leave it to Apple fanboys to think that Safari was the first with those features.
  • coheedcollapse, on 06/21/2009, -0/+9As a photographer, I can't even name how many times I've edited something in Photoshop or Lightroom just to have it look like crap when I upload it.

    Can't wait until this is a common feature in every browser out there.
  • TheSpook, on 06/21/2009, -0/+811. Being released.
  • rangah, on 06/21/2009, -0/+8Yeah, I gotta say, firefox NEVER crashes for me, but I use flashblock and only allow the flash I want to play, before, when going to a site was loading 15 flash elements at once, it would crash. (I'm on an ancient computer)

    It's flash.
  • HigherLogic, on 06/21/2009, -0/+8Microsoft and Facebook are one word but you know what I mean when I say MS or FB. Notice that where you the next syllable starts, that that's where it becomes the abbreviation (Micro-Soft, Face-Book, Fire-Fox)? FF makes way more sense than Fx...
