It's nothing special and doesn't add anything unique to the browser game IMO. If you like the iTunes interface, which I have no problem with personally, you might like Safari.

The plugin installer is not working for me. It just searches endlessly. This is with Vista x64. It worked fine on my xp rig.

I want the [x] button on the right side of hte tab bar back. When the tabs resize themselves, I can't quickly close multiple ones because the [x]'s move.

Yeah but I've gotten used to that long ago since they changed it back in 2.x something. You can right click on a tab and choose close all other tabs. Usually when I want to close tabs I want to close all of them or only 2 or 3 so it's not a HUGE inconvenience.

I have been running it for over a week now, never had it crash on me, and it's noticeably faster than FF2 so I'm loving it!

Used it for awhile, then it decided to crash and refuse to start. Had to go back to 2.0. Not a big fan of the 'dynamic history' or whatever. More of an annoyance than a benefit.

Do most existing extensions work with the new Firefox?

they do if you modify their install file

I'll look that up.

download extension (.xpi) to your harddrive. open .xpi file in winrar. drag install.rdf file from inside .xpi to a temp location on your harrdrive. open .rdf file in notepad. find the min and max version part and edit to make the max version 4.0 or whatever. save changed .rdf file. drag .rdf file back to winrar's open .xpi file to update it. drag updated .xpi file onto firefox. it'll install the extension and work now.

it takes like 8 seconds once you get used to it.

i like. using it right now. It definitely is a lot faster in loading pages. The app itself? Faster? Ehh.. The new address bar is slick though.

I never liked any of the Final Fantasy games. Whether it be FF 3 or FF 7. RPG's aren't for me.

Did that just go ten miles over your head or are you attempting a sarcastic post in reponse to dennilfloss' Final Fantasy joke?
