Firefox 3

Post by Fadingtoblack »

Anyone got this yet?


I'm not liking it at the moment as all the icons are gigantic the whole thing looks like my monitor has gone back to really low res.

Also all the pages are way zoomed in by default I think, or it could be the same problem I don't know....

Also I can't see the dropdown menu on the back button anymore....but there's one for going forwards? :wacko:

the only thing i don't like is the url/location dropdown bar which Mozilla are aparently calling the "Awesome Bar". I don't know why cause I think its shit.

I like the old style bar/dropdown better and the settings don't seem to let me switch it back to azn old school view.

the rest of it looks ok. i like the updated icons etc. Just the location bar is the one feature I use the most and now its crap.

Yeah I don't like that feature either! The old way was much clearer and easier to see where you are going.


My biggest issue is the bloody size of everything and all the pages being massively zoomed in like a said, maybe it's just doing it to me though.


I wonder if I can roll back to Firefox 2 somehow...

Yeah tried it.


I'm thinking maybe this new firefox is integrated with Windows settings - as I have my text size at 150% as I'm on 1600x1200 res.


Pain in the arse if that's the case.

They've got to cut this drop-down URL thing. It's driving me nuts. The back drop-down was always handy too, it's just done differently, the down arrow now works both ways. A good idea, but will take some getting used to. No size probs for me though.

EDIT: OK, thank fuck there's a fix for the url thing.
