Firefox 3 Hits Release Candidate 2

Barence noted that Firefox has announced release candidate 2 of their highly popular web browser. You can read the release notes while you download. And since my copy just finished downloading, I guess I'll go install it. I hope I don't have any

Re:Firefox is starting to give me the shits

What's your solution here?

A little thing called backward compatibility. That means you add new features but don't break existing ones.

See, there's this great new search engine called Google.com, and if you go there and type "Firefox 3 disable awesomebar", the very first link describes exactly how to do that.

Another idiot that insists I'm a troll without doing their homework. Oldbar does not restore old functionality. It simply makes awesomebar look like the old toolbar. However when you start typing a URL it still pulls things up from your bookmarks, and the firefox devs have no intention of changing how the search behaves. I don't want my bookmarks displayed to all and sundry when I simply type a URL into the search bar. They don't need to get glimpses of my political views, or what torrent sites I use!

OK, now it's painfully obvious you're either a troll or haven't been paying attention at all. Every Firefox 3 article I've read since the betas started coming out gushed over how memory management was so much better than in 2, how faster it is, etc

Okay now it's painfully obvious you're either a fanboi or haven't been paying attention at all. This happened when version 2 was released as well and it didn't fix things. It just took months for people to prove there was still a problem.

I can't even parse this one. You leave the tab-close confirmation on, but don't want it to confirm when you close tabs?

I'm glad you're not my parser then. I open 15 windows and more than one tab on each. Now to exit firefox, when I click close tabs on each one. There is no way to confirm I wish to close tabs on all windows. What's so fucking hard to parse?

Right-click, Save Link As...

Doesn't always work, and then how do I install the saved link. Create a HTML page to download it back from?

And how does drivel like this get modded "Insightful"?!

It got modded -1 troll actually. One person had the fucking sense to mod it insightful because obviously they've had the same experience. Yours remains at +4 informative despite the fact that you can't "parse" shit, and that you don't know how fucking oldbar works (but are happy to assume I've never come across it). You're the troll buddy.
