Re: firefox3 beta5
You guys are kidding with the liking of this hunk of ----, right?
First of all, the back/foward button is AWFUL. Yes, store it in one spot, brilliant.....No, it's ------- retarded. If I want to go backwards, I want to click on the back arrow and select how far to go back. If I want to go forward, I want to click on the forward arrow and select how far forward I want to go. Sticking it in the same spot is ridiculous. The two different sized arrows blows pretty hard too.
Secondly, every time I start to type a web address I get startled as the results pop out and the different sizes and how they are underlined. It makes me close the application immediately.
As for the speed, seems about the same or slower. As for the resources, 55mb for one window, no tabs is about 20mb more than it uses with the old version so again, how does this use less resources? I trust the professionals for testing that, but my rudimentary tests don't agree....
I'll stick with v2.whatever.
