They still haven't put back the option to disable smooth zooming of images :(. I still keep version 7.54 around for stuff that I need it to turn it off for.

ack some annoyances,how do u get it to stop automatically going to the download window everytime u save something?

and tab order, it doesn't go to to previous tab in order of tabs listed when a tab is closed, it seems to go to the last tab open instead. how to change this?

n/m its in view of the download window.

still not sure how to change tab behavior though
and also want to just turn off its torrent functionality..

eh, well the memory usage seems better slightly. i haven't been using it long enough to build up a massive amount of tabs/pages. but when minimized it does release memory rather quickly, whereas firefox gives up nothin. little things are bothering me, i think i'm too used to firefox. like when i put folders of shortcutts at the top bar, when you click on them in firefox the bookmarks drop straight down in a list, easy to quick navigate down, and scrollable too. in opera it goes off to the side first before the drop down menu, annoying, and it doesn't scroll for lists of bookmarks that are too long. not having history/bookmarks as side panels is annoying too. i also keep reaching for the little x button on the right top corner for closing tabs like with firefox, but theres a recycling bin here instead:( having x's on each tab makes it easy to close things accidentally:p

is there a recycling bin thing for firefox? i like the concept, not the location.

naw, after a day of using it i've switched back. i have reinstalled a gesture plugin since opera turned me back onto it. its just too hard to get opera to match firefox's positives, atleast things i'm used to. and all the plugins for firefox make it hard to beat i guess. in standard state they are rather close together though. opera uses less memory when minimized, but it seemed to have slower tab switching. i'll take faster tab switching, i got enough mem.

course i use a lotta plugins
ad block+filter set g

colorful tab(set at 5 so inactive are heavily faded) makes it easy to see active tab

meh, using tabfx just for the closed tab history. anyones more similar to the opera recycle bin? there are lots of extentions but some are too big of a bundle, too many functions in one for me.
