News - Mozilla launches Firefox 3.6

[Elessar_VPR]

Damn, that's copied off IE. And I hate it in IE. Maybe I'll learn to love it, but I'm assuming otherwise it's somewhere in about:config?

I think the one you want to open new tabs on the far right is:
about:config -> tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent -> False

Lovely, thanks for that

Gave 3.6 another shot and once I uninstalled Google Gears 0.5.33 FF 3.6 is flying along now

Yeah I have noticed on IE before, didn't think to mention that though.

3.6 seems to be just as good as ever, and scrolling bookmarks seems smoother to me.

There is one thing I don't like about it though - I can't just right click on the image and choose 'Properties' any more, instead the closest thing is 'View Image Info', which brings up the 'Page Info' box which I don't need to see if I just want to look at the properties of the image I right clicked on.

Hmm I hadn't noticed that - let me know if you find a workaround.

I'll have a look, though I doubt it'd be something I'd spot.

(In case you're wondering about the thanks, at first I read that as "I'll let you know if I find a workaround" )

[watercooled]

No worries
I will let you know if I find one myself though.

[Output]

I couldn't see anything in about:config, but a quick Google showed that somebody made an addon that restores it - now installed and seems to work perfectly.

Thanks. I wonder why they removed it anyway?

Anyone noticed any graphical glitches on tabs?
Like some partially displayed characters just before the "x" that closes the tab.
Only happens now and then and when I refresh the page it goes.. odd though!

Funnily enough just noticed that myself, although if you run the mouse over the tab they disappear xD

Yup, post #14 - strange how that sneaked through, although at least I'm not the only one now

Aah, missed that post somehow.

The icon isn't displaying correctly for me.

Aye, same here.. fine under all my other browsers.
Noticed it earlier but didn't think it would be down to the browser.
