Firefox 2.0

Nov 11, 2006 19:04

Okay, wow. Initially I wasn't so sure about this new firefox--up till 8 tabs, each one has its own 'x' to close the tab, and then once you have nine or more, just the tab you are viewing has an 'x' on it. I was used to having the 'x' to the right of the tabs, and there was no option to make it go back that way (you can in Netscape).
Plus, once you get more than a certain number of tabs, they don't get any smaller/narrower--instead, they go off to the right, seemingly disappearing, and you have to click the down arrow to see all tabs to get there. [or just 'control+tab' over]

All of this was initially a bit frustrating to me. But now, Firefox 2.0 has completely redeemed itself:

if it crashes, you can 'restore session' and get all of your tabs and windows back!

I found this out just now, and it makes my tech-loving self most gleeful...before, you had to go back through history to find what you were working on when a crash happened. And now...sighs happily...so much better!

tech, rl, firefox
