Didn't there use to be a tab button on older versions of FF?

[darrenshan]

Looks good so far, I like the new Tab button

ive been using tabs for a year or two (i forget when i downloaded it) and i have internet explorer. it's really new to you?

I just downloaded it. Nice, but nothing really revolutionary. Tab button should have been there from the start imo, and a speed boost is always appreciated

I thought the tab button was there since 3.0.0. I guess it was apart of an add-on I installed; probably 'Tabs Open Relative'.

FF has tabs too, it's just until this release there was no 'new tab' button - you used Ctrl + T instead. IMO Ctrl + T is easier and quicker, especially if you're on a laptop with a dodgy touchpad. There was no real need for a button to be added, but I guess they put it in to help the IE converts

I disagree. I'm more of a clicker than a keyboard shortcut typist and I use that button quite often.

Even firefox 2 had a tab button. You had to right click > customize > then drag the new tab button somewhere.

I don't really care for the New tab thingy But i do like the faster speed

Double-clicking on the tab bar opens up a new tab... and within 2 minutes of updating I've hidden the New Tab button using Stylish because it was already getting annoying and flashing too much.
Why isn't the setting 'Always show the tab bar' not remembered properly when the update is done? I can possibly understand that they want to show off the New Tab button, but I'm sure people unticked that box for a reason and it can be seen when you open two tabs anyway.

...I also love how the example video on the start page is completely failing to play and generally being buggy, then for other example videos that do work after half a minute, the audio is terrible and jerky.

Does anybody know of a replacement for Resizeable Textarea that works with 3.5? (it lets you resize text areas by clicking and dragging the edges)

...off to find a way to disable 'Search Bookmarks and History' showing in the URL bar when it's empty and not selected. Found another use for Stylish.

..."Links to external resources such as JavaScript files or CSS files are now clickable when viewing a page source code."
...History is grouped by month, eliminating the freeze when you accidentally clicked to expand 'Older items'.
...noticeably quicker restart times.

...there's something up with scrollbars which means they're showing differently, though that's a skin problem.

I know on lifehacker people keep mentioning Nightly Tester Tools whenever someone's addons aren't supported. It's worth a shot.

Reason for edit: Huge ty for reminding me of an addon I do have installed which can bump up the maxversion of addons. Now everything works properly again =D (bar AiOS which suddenly 'broke' a while back, so only half-works) ~ Neo

It's called CTRL+T

You should try it

[Neo Avatars]

It's called CTRL+T

You should try it

And Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Space, Alt+D, Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+N, Ctrl+R, F5, Ctrl+F5, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+U (multiple uses depending on focus), Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y, Ctrl+F, Alt+F, Alt+E, Alt+V, Alt+S, Alt+B, Alt+T, Alt+H, Alt+F4, Ctrl+Alt+R, etc.
There are probably more useful shortcuts that I can't remember atm.

...for some reason, the 'Go' button is displaying permanently and the icon to indicate RSS feeds isn't showing (in the URL bar). Any ideas?

Sounds like an addon problem. (Stylish?) Mine has the RSS feed showing and no "go" button in sight.

Reason for edit: Ye, 'twas a problem with one of the addons I forced to 3.5. All good now (bar having to use an ugly updated version of the addon =P) ~ Neo

I know, because I used to use that button before a friend turned me into a keyboard ninja What I meant was that Firefox never had the IE-style tab button that appears after the last tab you have open until now. After working with FF for a couple of hours I've got used to the button, but I still prefer my good ol' keyboard

Something I don't like about the new FF is now you cannot close the only opened tab. In order to close it, you need to reopen another. Does anyone know of a 'fix' for this?

Eh you can't close the only open tab on any browser. Why would you want to anyways just hit the X at the top of the screen.

I just noticed that. Makes me kinda mad because when I hand the computer to my mom it's easier if I just leave it on a blank tab so she doesn't go reading all my stuff.

Lifehacker has the solution here

Pre-3.5, I had an X on the tab that allowed me to close it. If I only had one tab opened and closed that tab, it would be as if I opened a new tab and closed the old. Now, the X only appears on the tab if there are multiple tabs open. It's two steps instead of the previous one.

That sounds like exactly what I was looking for. I'm off to try it out. Maybe I did this in the past some time but had forgotten.

I'm getting poor performance and random bouts of freezing and change of focus. I'm going back to 3.0.11.
