[vertual]

As usual.

But I brought liquor!

[OzzieBloke]

And I brought some nibbles!

[Prefontain]

I brought the Kool Aid!

[stiff~meister]

3.5 is sucking hardcore. Firefox has been getting progressively worse since 2.x

wat ?

3.5 is much faster than the last one, more features that I have yet to explore and other stuff

Ease of use has been going progressively down hill and features have been being kicked out for no reason. Remember the "go to download folder" button on the Downloads window? Why the **** was that removed? Now I have to ****ing download something so I can say "Open containing folder."

And now on 3.5 it has decided to stop remembering what tabs were open. Oh, and wipe out all my saved passwords.

If I don't sort this out, I am going back to 3.1x or ****ing Chrome. Mozilla better get their **** together.

[Doozer]

My downloads show on the download bar at the bottom of the page, just double click to open .... maybe thats an addon ?

no problems with tabs, always remembers them and opens them and remembers my passwords.

maybe you changed some settings

[Cartigan]

No setting changes. Firefox 3.5 comes with lots of fun bugs they didn't bother to work out in the RCs before releasing the official version.

The "Go to download folder" button on the Downloads window was removed in 3.x on my system.

I'm not sure what dip****, i-like-cluttering-up-my-computer jackass developer decided to remove that button. I don't download stuff to my desktop and I don't leave my download history full of files so I have no easy way to get to my downloads folder.

While I agree, that button was nice, it only adds one click to "Right click - Open containing folder"

You forgot "If you don't clear your download history."
If you clear your download history, you either have to navigate the computer to the folder (hope you don't put it anywhere complicated) or you have to download something else.

If it's always the same folder, create a shortcut.

Sounds like you need Opera

I'm not sure why you'd want to clear your history out that often, but ok, this is valid.

And now on 3.5 it has decided to stop remembering what tabs were open. Oh, and wipe out all my saved passwords.

Tools -> Options -> "When Firefox Starts"

Tools -> Options -> Security -> "Remember passwords for sites"

If I don't sort this out, I am going back to 3.1x or ****ing Chrome. Mozilla better get their **** together.

Chrome is good. So is Opera 10 (Unite still needs some work though).

[ViCyniC]

Smooth sailing for me. Just clicked on update and the rest was automatic.

He has enough Drama

[Stingray]

Smoooooooth sailing, best browser ever.

Location-Aware Browsing...

I don't like this kind of an idea.

how to disable it.

Here's link.

They are a bit scared to accept bugfixes at the last moment before big release.
It makes sense.

Firefox 3.5 Cracks 4 Million Downloads Mark

Firefox's new browser is a hit.

While still not as ubiquitous as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's new Firefox 3.5 browser was just released yesterday and is off to a great start. The browser was met with mostly positive reviews. Reuters stated, "There's no doubt that version 3.5 of Firefox is significantly faster than version 3...All in all, this is a major improvement over Firefox 3. Even if you're not currently a Firefox user, you'll want to give it a try."

CNET was slightly more measured commenting, "Firefox 3.5 is a much-needed improvement to the world's most popular alternative browser... While some of the improvements, such as the HTML5 and other developer enhancements will continue to make the browser their first choice, many of the other changes merely keep it in-line with the competition."

At the end of the day, though, Firefox 3.5's hot new features like HTML5 support and a faster JavaScript engine won over users. Downloads were blazing at 100 per second for much of the day yesterday. Mozilla's servers performed admirably under the load.

Might be a little off topic but I still like Internet explorer XD

Same here. And I even use both.

Well after using 3.5 for a while it does have some strange things that happen at least for me. Even though some of the add on's are still listed as compatible some sort of act strangely anyways. Also one major thing that is bothering the hell out of me is when I click on a Tab, Quite frequently the dam tab will open up in its own browser window and takes it off the original open browser window. Becoming a real annoyance to me at the moment.

Using many add-ons is increasing the chances of trouble, as they are coded by people outside of mozilla.org, especially when big updates (like 3.5) happen.

I have 27 addons for FF3.x that carried over to FF3.5. I have no issues. You just have to have good well supported addons.

Twenty-seven? Wow! When I was using Firefox 2, I only had between eight and ten at the max.

[caveman-jim]

I have maybe 5 extensions I use for firefox and two of them are for printing.

[metroidfox]

I have one: mouse gestures.

[Pirate Neilsouth]

Is there anyway of locking the bookmarks? , numorus times now i've gone to click a bookmark and its decided to drag the bookmark instead. I've even scrolled to a folder went to click a link and the folder moved.

Never happened to me before

That sounds like kind of the same irritating things that are happening to me as well. I would have to say I'm more then a little disappointed with this release.

[caveman-jim]

It's annoying

[MouSe-2005]

Ok, I have 3.5.1. Upgraded from 3.0. It's not remembering my cookies. How in the Hell do I fix this? I'm not using private mode and I'm not telling it to "not" remember passwords. Actually, it remembers passwords just fine, it just won't keep me logged into things like forums and my email. Fixes?
