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

thanks that doesn't quite fix my gripe with it though.

I also changed the browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped setting to True.

But it still has the Double lines for each website in the drop down. A website title and a second line for the URL. I can't stand that. I just want to see the url only.

Oh, I simply set it to zero. I can write out complete URLs on my own. Never liked the drop downs at all for the URL bars.

If anyone else has the resolution issue (like big icons, massively zoomed in pages etc) it is an issue with the text size (dpi) setting you've got for your display. (mine's 144)

To fix:


-type about:config
-click past the warning
-right click anywhere -> New -> Integer
-for name type "layout.css.dpi" (without the quotes)
-for value type (not sure how it works, but my windows text is at 150% in display options, so I use 96 as my integer here)
Hopefully your screen should be back to normal instantly or after a reset!

I like the "awesome bar". Other than that, I downloaded a "metal" skin and when I changed to V3, my skin stayed the same, so it is not much different except the icons on top are updated. All my add on stayed the same too. I am liking FF 3.
