Re: Tweaking for Fun/Speed - Fx v3 Series

Hmmm, I will have to recheck then when I close Fx, which I do not do very often. I am pretty certain that prior to making your above posted ALT-C change, the Awesome Bar (umm, AB, sorry AB See Profile...), it retained some data, but I may be mistaken.

I can definitely see the gain of space as a positive, though with Compact Menu, Piro's Tree-Tabs on the left side (still experimenting with it's new Auto-hide feature), and Window's Toolbar on the right (always on Auto-Hide), on my "ancient" 18" CRT (17" usable), it's really horizontal space that is at a premium, here, at least. Plus, I do Tab-Group openings, which I don't think the new Bar will handle, though I haven't looked to try so, yet.

I know what you mean about having so many bookmarks. Which reminds me to do a dead and unwanted duplicate check, again, sometime soon!

I will give the AB a whirl again, at some point, as like you said, it has it's benefits!

That's the beauty of Fx, each user can customize it to a close approximation of how they would like it (which brings up an Extension that I recently saw for the first time, iMacros, but that is for another Thread...).

I know when I close Fx that my histories are cleared and the address bar history is always flushed.

I personally like the new Awesome Bar as it eliminates having the bookmark bar allowing for more screen space and it is so much faster going through my 1000+ bookmarks and history well surfing. YMMV
