The new Firefox sucks, has anyone figured out how to configure it to the old way?

canadam · 11-22-2008, 02:53 PM

I hate the new history bar as opposed to the old address bar, it doesn't clear out even if you delete the history. Also I'm always accidentally zooming in or out instead of scrolling, then the damn browser remembers it even if I clear the privacy options.

I've done some googling, but nothing overly comprehensive on getting FF back to the old settings.

Anyone figure it out?

Wat? I haven't noticed a difference between 2 and 3? how do you zoom in and out for why for that matter?

If you haven't noticed any difference. You are either, mentally retarded, a complete liar or just stupid. I pick all 3.

As for me, I've looked for a Firefox 2 download. Couldn't. So I just gave up and accepted it's either this or IE 7. I'd much rather use Firefox.

Wat? I have set-up files for 1.5 if you want that...

Firefox 3 keeps crashing on my pc for no reason. I think it is a Microsoft conspiracy to make me move to vista, but i refuse until sp2. One thing about firefox 3 I love is the spell checker, makes me seem somewhat educated. There is probably an extension for previous versions but I never bothered looking.

Thanks guys.

canadam · 11-27-2008, 09:31 PM

Does anyone else use Google Chrome yet?

328FTW · 11-27-2008, 11:19 PM

Yeah it is fast and doesn't crash cause each new page is a new instance of the program so you can only crash one page at a time. Don't know if I like it better though.

How do you make a browser worse than IE?
