I'd gleefully click through a hundred EULAs if I could use Firefox 3 without the Awesome Bar.
(And I hope that by now everyone understands that OldBar and the about:config variables matchBehavior and matchOnlyTyped still allow the Awesome Bar to search page titles. There is no way to get the bar to only search against URIs. Period.)
If, given the expected number of star systems with planets capable of supporting life (which although may be a low percentage of stars still isn't nil), and given that evolution eventually results in intelligence (or at least there's a decent probability it does), then there should be plenty of other intelligent civilizations (certainly including post-Singularity civilizations). But there (apparently) aren't.
So either we're first, out of all those star systems...
Or just perhaps intelligent civilizations all eventually delve into the field of particle physics and build colliders... then wink out of existence in spontaneous black holes.
After reading that flamebait, I'm seriously wondering if you work for Microsoft. You seem to be intentionally trying to piss off the Mozilla user base.
I can assure you, no one is working harder to piss off the Mozilla user base than the Mozilla dev team.
I guess we'll see. Personally, I win either way. I use Windows as my primary OS. If Mono gets good, I get the lazy man's porting of applications to other OSes. If it ends up blowing up--well, my primary OS is still fine.
Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that until you believe it.
Even if Firefox 3 used ZERO memory, I'll still never use it because of the trainwreck that is the poorly-named Awesomebar.
Some things are more important than resource conservation, such as not screwing the user by needlessly taking away functionality and telling them "you'll get over it".
I'd gladly have Firefox 3 with the same footprint as Firefox 2 if that's the price to pay for keeping the old address bar autocomplete functionality in the code.

Even now, as of the timestamp on this comment, NO ONE in any comments here has identified what UCITA is short for.
If you're going to use a 5 letter initialism in the summary and repeatedly in the headline without saying what the fuck it is or at the very least linking it to a definition, I for one can only assume that you don't consider it important enough to warrant the extra 20-50 keystrokes to do so.
This seems odd since the nature of the numerous comments is very alarming, however none of the comments mention what the initialism stands for.

Your mom.
The last sentence in the definition you cite:

Will it feature the "AwesomeBar"?
Not interested.
Is this the answer to the Fermi paradox?

Just look at the AwesomeBar.
No camera.
So by your reckoning women should wear burqas, lest they be seen naked.
No camera.
A Libertarian once shat on my carpet. Said the free market would sort it out.
This is a UNIX system. I know this!

Right. Selling so well that if the companies don't merge they'll both die.

Shouldn't it be "mouth-to-ear"?
Smarter than sysadmins at any rate.

I am personally through with using Apple's "codenames" for their OS releases. It will never be anything other than "ten point six" to me.
It's almost as if Apple is trying to prove that FOSS projects don't have a monopoly on horrible names.
Yeah... "Leopard"... "Snow Leopard"... that's not gonna cause any confusion, right?

Since I can't sell a game I've purchased through Steam, does this ruling have any implications for DRMed download-only software?
Seriously, only anime fanatics would forgive the wussiness of Raiden and the laughably byzantine and melodramatic plot.
Can you turn off the "Awesomebar"?
No?
Not interested.
