My biggest complaint is that it is not playing well with roboform yet. Then again I have not looked for a fix yet either,

ctrl+t will do just fine. I am a big fan of shortcuts too, just do not know all of them.

I would like to know how I can get rid of the download window if someone can help me out with this.

Thanks

You can download an add-on called “new tab button on tab right” to get that half-opened tab thing you’re talking about. Call me a peacekeeper

BTW – I use keyboard shortcuts (old Photoshop habit) and the shortcut for opening a new tab is CTRL+T. I’ve never used the buttons at the top to open a new tab. And that shortcut works in both FF and IE7.

Oscar,

Yes I am aware of the scaling feature in IE7, but this is an article about FF3. It is a new feature for Firefox.

You can turn the download manager off, or get an add-on that kills the pop-up box. I agree with you – it is annoying. I was able to get rid of it, but I forgot how. I still have the ability to pull a history of my downloads, and that is very useful.

I have no idea what you’re talking about with “half-opened tab”????

Alex,

Although I do like some of the new features and anything not MS is a plus for me, but Firefox download tool is annoying. Its like Higher Gear making me confirm that I want to do something. When I click a download button, I want to download and not get another popup that shows me this.

Not really impressed with the new features. FYI Your zoom feature was already on IE7 and still annoying is the fact that you do not have semi open tab, to create a new tab (in IE7 there is a half opened tab to activate a new tab instead of having to go to the menu to create a new tab in FireFox).

FireShot is a must… same goes for FireBug and FireFTP if you are developing stuff… and ChatZilla if you are on IRC.

Been using it as well…make the switch if you haven’t yet.

The FireShot feature is a great tool…

yeah I should have figured, hmmmm…. don’t take the over on our wager on the memory issue; I should have read your article instead of scanning through it. The memory allocation feature should correct the problem ff2 had with v mem.
