Grab a new theme: Themes :: Firefox Add-ons; there's 37 compact themes available at the moment.

I don't know how to do a screen shot like that but I have no such button. Directly under "file" in the upper left I have a blue refresh button.

Is it possible I need to check for updates or un-install/re-install?

I clicked about Firefox and this is what I see:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

right click up there by help in the gray area and click customize then restore to default setup and see if that helps

Thank-you!

If I'd have read Redlemon post more closely I probably could have got there earlier. Guess reading comp. isn't my specialty.

I dunno. I mean on the one hand I can understand it. On the other hand, the different distros aren't that different visually; the biggest difference is the desktop environment, which nine times out of ten is either KDE or Gnome anyway. Given that the browser as it is changes colour themes to match whatever distro/DE you're running, it doesn't seem like it would've taken that much more to develop skins for it with a bit more flair.

It's really a minor bitch in the grand scheme of things. I mean, as long as all of the functionality is there it doesn't really matter what it looks like, and if I'm that bothered by it I can always change the theme anyway.

well, I've had this installed for half a day - I've had a crash (you know the "Report to Microsoft etc" dialog box), but otherwise seems fine. Certainly seems much quicker than v2.

im loving it so far.

It turns out that the "Awesome bar" isnt so awesome if you dont want your little sister to know what a fucking perv you are.

You can set it to clear all private data (including history) on exit. Admittedly that pretty much castrates the awesomebar and removes it's most useful feature, but if you're on a multi-user computer and don't want your family/roommate/dog to know what you were looking at, that's the way to do it. Look in the privacy tab under preferences.

Also, does anyone (Redlemon) know why preferences is under the Tools menu in Windows but under the Edit menu in Linux? Admittedly that predates FF 3.0, but it's always confused me.

ive tryed that martian, i tryed it yesterday.

but whenever i begin to type "fark" into my bar the first thing that pops up is "Fat Pussy".

Shit, it even has a star! i KNOW this isnt in my favorites... Now how in the hell...?

edit: did mozilla break the record on fire fox release day?

edit squared: never mind, google answered my question. it turns out it will take a week or so to verify.

And on the Mac, it is under the App menu (which is consistent with the OS). I guess they felt that Edit was the most common place for preferences on Linux? Windows, who knows, preferences could be anywhere.

That is very true. You might consider setting up user accounts on your computer. The Awesomebar is the reason that I did that on my computer, so my 5 year old son doesn't get an early jump on the facts of life.

If it has a star, it is bookmarked. Go to "Organize Bookmarks" in the Bookmarks menu, click on All Bookmarks in the left column, type 'pussy' in the search bar, and select the 'All Bookmarks' button that just popped up. You should find your 'fat pussy' there.

From what I gather, there is no previous record in this category, so they will establish the record with whatever score they achieved. I also gather that the expected result was 3.5 to 4.0 million, so the 8+ million unofficial count should do well.

sweet, i did find my fat pussy there!

tricky, tricky porn.

thanks lemon.

The forum ate my post. I was going to point out that you can unbookmark a website by clicking the star and then clicking the Remove Bookmark button that pops up.

You probably just clicked the star by accident. When going for the drop down menu maybe?

You can always tell your little sister that you were looking for Garfield comics.

Proper marketing:

cool....I wonder if someone actually sells that top :p

ohhh, proper marketing indeed!

martian, i have no idea. i think i may have book marked it to finish downloading a video or something and i just dont remember. ive had it on here for a while apparently. it was totally lost in the clutter of the folderless bookmarks.

yeah, it'd be awsome to have my GF wake me up sunday morning with "WTF is this your looking at ?!?!?"
I was telling some people at work about ths pic and they were all..."and you were searching for what ?"

Once again, I have some really gay problems with FF.

First: when I have the VLC pluign active, everything media related says [no media]- not helpful for Apple Trailers.

Next, when I disable it and have just the QT plugins, it won't show anything on Apple Trailers.

Finally, when I have VLC and QT enabled, and try to visit Apple Trailers, FF 3 crashes!

WTF.

Addons: Free Download Manager, FireFTP, FoxyProxy, Google Toolbar
Plugins: DivX web player, Java Platform, Mozilla Default Plugin, QT 7.5 Plugin, Shockwave Flash, Shockwave for Director, Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation

I reverted back to 2.0.0.x today because FF3 wouldn't stop crashing despite removing addons. It worked fine on other computers. I just got tired of it and didn't feel like screwing around anymore.

What makes me mad is that it worked fine... then I updated the Adobe and Shockwave crap. Then a site used WMV, so I updated that plugin, then it crashes.

WTF!

Hain: I haven't futzed too much with plugins... but perhaps when you disabled the VLC plugin, the settings under Options/Applications were set to either nothing or to VLC? Try disabling the VLC, then going to Options, and seeing what the settings are for that filetype.

Everything is/was set to use either QuickTime or WMP plugin (strictly the Windows media formats). VLC is not even set to be used.

Installed FF3 on my XP machine yesterday. There is some improvement in tab response time and I have not had to reopen FF once. :)

My friend insists that NoScript is an absolute must; so far it's just a pain in the arse. Are their any must have add-ons and is NoScript one of them?

I personally think that Noscript is essential on FF. It gives you control over all of the annoying things out there on sites and it is easy to allow everything with one click if you desire.

edit: grammatical fix

Does anyone know how to restrict what will pop up when you're typing in addresses into the primary address bar? FF2 did a good job of restricting to the most commonly visited sites starting with what you'd already typed, but FF3 throws in all my bookmarks in random order in addition to that. Given what it's popping up, I'd almost rather just disable that feature, but I'm having some trouble finding it. ideas?

There are critical add-ons... for the way I use the web. And there are others that are useless... to me. But if you want a suggestion, I couldn't post to forums without Make Link.

Noscript only needs to be configured once and does get rid of the obnoxious advertising crap which is great. The hard part is figuring out what to green light to get the site to work without the hovering full motion ad.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Where do y'all get your info from? On my computer, when viewing only one website or page Firefox consumes needed resources but it just SUCKS the RAM dry when I open more than 8 websites or pages.

Youtube HD plays very choppy and I don;t even think that can be fixed, I'm still looking around though.
