DAMMIT FIREFOX

[jazzfish]

Likely to be an ongoing list.

1) To move the tab bar below the nav bar WHERE IT BELONGS: right-click somewhere in the top of the window that isn't on another control and clear the "Tabs on top" check mark.

2) "Open link in new tab" is now the first option in the right-click menu; "Open link in new window" is the second option. This is the reason I keep opening links in new browser windows. I appreciate the usability reasons for this change but it'll take me awhile to get used to. (Yes, yes, Cmd/Ctrl-Click opens links in new tabs. I have multiple workflows depending on how I'm feeling at any given moment.)

3) To stop having the middle chopped out of links (that is, to bring back the status bar): first, View > Toolbars > Add-on Bar. Then install Status-4-Evar.

ETA 4) To go back more than one page, either click-and-hold the Back button (annoying) or right-click the Back button. Stupid Firefox.

Is it still slow and crappy on OS X?

Less so now. I'm not seeing the purported 6x speed increase but it does feel less sluggish.

I like Firebug better than Chrome's Javascript console, but I like every single other thing about Chrome better than Firefox.

On the other hand, Firebug really is just that good, so I will probably take a look at it.

I really like Chrome, but it's sandbox is just too restrictive to be able to run the sort of UI-improving extensions I rely on in Firefox effectively. [vimperator, mostly; chrome equivalents are too kludgy to work well]
