How Are You Feeling About Firefox 3: The Last Beta?
After this become the Release Candidates. Are we ready? As users, as developers… and is it primed for us?
The front/back buttons hit been redesigned ease again, your selection spreading hasn’t been upgraded yet, but the browser’s quicker than ever. OS combining continues to improve, with autochthonous UI widgets for Windows, OS X, and GTK — no, sorry, those OS X widgets ease meet look same autochthonous ones. Fooled me for a second.
The looks are flashier. Now when I pussyfoot over a tab, it doesn’t meet highlight: there’s a lowercase bringing-up-the-highlight animation.
One fault that was bugging me is gone: the backwards fix today respects tender anchors, which it didn’t in beta 4.
Quibbles that remain: the Awesomebar is ease non-disable-able. Keyboard guidance finished tabs does not advise in last-seen order. Pop-up tooltips in the position forbid don’t impact if the pane is maximized.
Any others?
