I don't really use add-ons. Or history... I like the new navigation toolbar.

*hi-5* to that!

And you can still have the history in a side-bar setup. Just press Ctrl+H. That works for me.

Just tested it, the Ctrl+H works for sidebar.

Just got it! Still need to get used to it, but it seems pretty nice. I like how it can save your tabs when you close, so I won't have to re-open my Facebook, YWS, and Gmail every time. I do, however, have mixed feelings about this spellchecker. Don't I get tortured enough with red lines in Word? It's already red-lined me four times. Apparently spellcheck is not a word. Still, I see how it can come in handy.

You can also add words to the dictionary, and they won't come up as misspellings again.

I wasn't using the old Firefox for very long, so I can't really see that many differences to this one... But, it's still pretty neat, Very Happy .

Firefox 3 is now the second most popular browser on YWS. For June 25, 2008:

    1. Internet Explorer 7.0: 563 visits
    2. Firefox 3.0: 241 visits
    3. Firefox 2.0: 210 visits
    4. Internet Explorer 6.0: 188 visits
    5. Safari: 62 visits
    6. Opera: 5 visits

I really wish people would stop using Internet Explorer...
