- Johnglave, on 10/31/2009, -1/+18Persona's is an add on it can work with 3.5 just as well as 3.6. http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/
- snugglebunnywit, on 10/31/2009, -1/+15I'm excited about the Beta! Everything sounds so great about it. Especially the faster start up speed.
- rprose, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1080 percent of my extensions didn't work. i guess i'll wait.
- spectre_25gt, on 10/31/2009, -0/+10You could also install the nightly tester extension: http://www.oxymoronical.com/web/firefox/nightly which allows you to force-install your extensions. Most of them will work without an issue.
- apostledeets, on 10/31/2009, -2/+10Never really heard of Personas before, but not exactly a good first impression seeing a Lady Gaga theme on the front page....
- Rouglead, on 10/31/2009, -1/+9WINDOWS 7 SUPPORT!!!
- coopaloop, on 10/31/2009, -3/+10I'm loving the Personas. I don't think I could go back to 3.5.
The main difference I'm seeing between 3.5 and 3.6 is that in Windows 7, multiple tabs appear as windows in the taskbar. - cathpah, on 10/31/2009, -0/+6It's like we've come full circle. Now, right-clicking on firefox shows a list of sites (tabs) that are open....much like when I'd have multiple sites open in the days before tabbed browsing, and it would just be a bunch of separate IE windows open stacked in the taskbar.
pretty funny that we're back to square one....but in a MUCH better way. - Flinty, on 10/31/2009, -0/+4Nice to see them making use of Windows 7 taskbar. Now I can see individual tabs open from the task bar.
- magnet14, on 10/31/2009, -0/+4Is it just me, or do the new taskbar tab thumbnails fail to sync with the actual tabs (on Win7)? Like, I have only 2 tabs open, but there are 7 thumbnails of old tabs that I've closed. This bug is really annoying :(
- Nephersir7, on 10/31/2009, -0/+4Almost subtle...
- explodingzebras, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3meh i use to use Opera when Firefox has trouble with certain pages, now Chrome has replaced Opera in that role.
- rprose, on 10/31/2009, -1/+4dude, you should see what they're doing with your radio alarm clock. unplug it before it's too late.
- YourNameHere1, on 10/31/2009, -0/+2Still waiting for TraceMonkey javascript support for 64-bit..... they say it might be working in 3.7 version.
- justgenius12, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1if you right click on the navigation toolbar and click customize, you can drag the activity indicator to your toolbar
- gaymathman, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Basically. Firefox 3.5 looks just like Firefox .9. That's a bad thing. 3.7 looks to remedy this; if it does, I might drop Opera for Firefox. Until then, Firefox's UI is too horrible (in comparison to Opera's; FF is about as nice as IE) to work with for me.
- inactive, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1It's not the same thing.
- Philbert, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1Currently I'm more interested in Thunderbird 3.0, I've been really waiting for the ability to quote only what you select. I used to do it with the QuickQuote Add-on, but it doesn't officially work anymore and I somehow lost the current version of Nightly Tester Tools.
- vectoor, on 11/24/2009, -0/+1The youtube html 5 test uses a different video format that mozilla doesn't support. It is a bit of a fight between two different formats over which should be the standard for html 5. Safari on one side, Firefox on the other. I think chrome actually supports both formats.
- moonheart, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1I prefer firefox better and this is one latest information on firefox.
- Barbas06, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1Yeah all the extensions probably work you just need to disable the plugin compatibility check
- nashio, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1its all about the javascript, and opera didn't make it
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/09/5 ... - explodingzebras, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Firefox > Chrome > Opera > Safari > -insert any other browser here- > IE8 > IE7 > IE6
- inactive, on 10/31/2009, -1/+2Does the hourglass (loading icon) show up when you click a link again?
Can't believe they removed it, I had to go back to 3.0.x. - Athlon1600, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1point me to a source where it says that Firefox beat Opera in any test.
- Rkstar, on 11/01/2009, -1/+2So the HTML5 video was the thing I was most excited about... I immediately went to http://www.youtube.com/html5 which works with Safari... but still doesn't seem to work with Firefox. Anyone else have luck?
- ultrafez, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1I don't understand the point of that website, it looks exactly the same as Google except for a couple of changes on the homepage and the search results page.
- benbrooks101, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Still no jumplist support :(
- rocketrabbit, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1I will stay wih 2.0.0.20 version :)
- keysersozejr, on 11/01/2009, -4/+2Love Mozilla and everything they stand for but over time Firefox has become bloated, slower, and less reliable. Dual boot XP and Windows 7 w/Quad Core and 6 Gigs of Ram and yet 3.5 is buggy and full of hiccups. I find myself using Explorer 8 more and more which is surprising and scary. Chrome is fast but its customization needs a serious overhaul.
This is my self important comment of the year. Reading it over and I don't even like me. - Athlon1600, on 11/01/2009, -7/+1why do people bury me? Opera is really better than Firefox
- Athlon1600, on 10/31/2009, -9/+2Opera > Firefox
- Charlie1er, on 10/31/2009, -11/+4Can't be worst than the last one.
- depro9, on 10/31/2009, -9/+2***** rad! Behold the power of open code. :P
- cheapotheclown, on 10/31/2009, -8/+1you've always not liked faster start up speeds?
- bjwest, on 10/31/2009, -13/+2It changed my homepage from what I have set to http://search.jundle.com/. That needs to go away. I set my homepage to what I want, and it shouldn't be changed by the browser.
- jjintheuk, on 10/31/2009, -13/+1Whooptee *****, Firefox 3.5 seems to be working fine for me.
I'm gunna upgrade when a few more of my add-ons are compatible - burrdugg, on 10/31/2009, -13/+1"Expanded support for geolocation technology so it can provide a Web site with an approximate physical address of the user, not just latitude-longitude coordinates."
See, everyone, this is how the NSA get its way into open source. No one will notice, or is just going to shrug it off. To think you all directed your suspicion at SELinux.
