I made this so you can add all your old sites. I didn't see a way to do it manually through Firefox.

Press CTRL+F!

I love the new FIND Function! The highlight function is sweet too!

It's improved since I last used it....main reason while I'll continue using Mozilla is I hate using a download manager be it in mozilla or firefox. If you disable download manager in firefox it'll download files but you have no idea when they're downloaded as it doesn't show you a progress display bar or anything for that matter. Until then I'll continue using Mozilla. It'd also be awesome if firefox supported silent installs like mozilla does. Other than that it's shaping up quite a bit.

Ok, a quick question.....is there a way to resize the address bar / google bar? I want to shorten the textbox that displays the address, and lengthen the google text box...but I can't seem to find a way. Anyone?

bleh I used 1.0PR for over an hour now.

Still too damn buggy.

Broken links, url errors, etc. at too many sites.

I really hope 1.0 fixes this stuff.....or at least websites will take Firefox seriously enough by then and obey the rules and not suck up to IE.

:disgust:

Or if you're lazy just press the "/" key. The find function disappears after about 5 seconds.

OMG!!! This RSS feature has just totally changed my browsing habits. I actually have time to work now. :confused: :p

Seriously... this feature is a real time saver. I have Bluesnews, Slashdot, and Reuters set up as RSS bookmarks.

I cant find the bluesnews RSS feed to bookmark it, and it doesnt show the RSS symbol on the bottom right... how did you set that one up?

Cant wait till RSS takes off more and places like anandtech add it.

Edit: Oh crap anandtech does for news :p
