kudos:4 | A lot of folks have Fx 10 Enterprise which is frozen except for security updates. It doesn't have new tab and won't have all the crap that is to soon be foisted on Fx users who are on the regular update channel.

Re: Firefox 'New Tab' Feature Exposes Users' Secured Info I certainly don't after version 3.6 all you see is + signs in your face driving you to the brink of insanity with no way to get rid of them. I have constantly emailed the firefox people pointing this obvious fact out to them. |

Because they CAN.
( Though I know of a famous question about dogs/cats which yields the same punchline.  ) |

I too have several gripes about functionalities which FF developers arbitrarily removed/changed/renamed, as newer editions came down the pipe.
Here's just ONE :
In 1.5 (or was it 2.0 ?), they had an Arrow icon which was to the right of the address line, and you would click on it to [Enter] your typed completed URL.
I relocated it to the right of the button bar so that I could use it as the final step in a copy>new-tab>paste>enter mouse manoeuvre sequence (of a URL from a current tab), IIRC - a function which was the default action in IE for a new window in versions 5 & 6.
FF later tied this button TO the address line so that I could not independently relocate it to use as above. 
I was P.O.'d for some time, but later settled on series 3.6 until recently, when the current thread caught my eye - with its OT digression about loading all of the tabs at once or not. 
You don't need a large corporation like M$ in order to 'achieve' anarchy in app development. |
