if you right click on the tool bar and go customize. you can then drag icons onto the new window. Then once its in Firefox you can drag it to where you want it to appear on the tool bar.

probably the one cool feature that i just found out (dont know if it was mentioned yet) is i just had to restart my computer, and when it came back on, firefox gave me the option to restore firefox to it's state before the shutdown.

kind of a cool feature...

I tried Firefox awhile back, but I didn't like it because I couldn't find a way to put the tabs at the bottom like you can on Opera. Is there a way to do this?

Sometimes it gets retarded on me and it doesn't load anything until I restarted - and the "dead" instance keeps running on the process tree.

Okay, I'm going nuts here, so could someone help me out? I have grown quite accustomed to clicking the down arrow on the address bar, choosing the address I want to go to out of my recent visits, and clicking on it to go straight to it. But now when I select an address in the address bar, it places it in the bar but doesn't actually load the page until I hit enter or click the go button. This is beyond annoying for me, especially since I've been doing this for years now with no problems. How to I make it auto-load the address that I choose like it always use to do?

Yeah the same thing is happening to me as well, but the thing is my RC3 didn't do that before, it just started to happen yesterday

I am using Firefox 2.0, and it's not doing that to me. If I choose something out of the address bar, it automatically goes to that page.

Ditto. Perhaps frequent upgrades broke your profile? Try migrating certain things one at a time to a new profile.

Definitely just migrate to a new profile. Your problems should stop.

Install Stylish and then install the script at this link.

Yes, I know you can do this via Chromedit, but I have heard some reports that it is impossible in 2.0 and up. Plus, Stylish allows more customization everywhere. It is like a small greasemonkey.

Tab mix plus can also do that (see the link BlackAura posted), it includes a ton of great options for tabs and also comes wit ha great session saver. fantastic extension.

Version numbers are arbitrary anyway. What was the difference between Opera 8 and 9, for example? Or between IE 5.0 and IE 5.5 (and IE 6.0, for that matter)?

Yep. All a version number is is a marketing tool. Most coders prefer keep a piece of software below 1 until it is perfect.

For something like a browser it may seem perfect at a time, but later on new technologies come out and new standards come out that mean the browser needs to change. So a browser would never technically ever be able to be perfect unless they had a time machine to see what the future held.

In principle, it could still be "perfect" from the perspective of the moment in time that it is released. Then it could be 1.0, and the next "perfect" release updated to some new standards in the interim could be 2.0. In practice most software runs into subtle hair-pulling type bugs and other shortcomings long before it runs into the problem of obsolescence.

So I take it nobody else is having the problem I'm having? Because this is driving me nuts. Maybe it is an extension?

The address bar thingy? Works fine for me. Try what Savant said and start a new profile.

Tab Mix Plus gave me some incompatability errors in RC2. Besides, many of the things that TMP has were merged into FF.
