fuuuuck, adblock and tab mix plus both don't work! I really really hope they're updated soon, otherwise I'm rolling back. those are my two main important extensions.

ok, so far so good on a mac.

FF2 was horrible on mac but FF3 is light years better so far.

I highly recommend NoScript, it's a pain in the ass for the first two days then saves you loads of trouble. What is TabMix Plus?

hmm, what's noscript?
tabmixplus lets you undo closed tabs and keeps a list of however many you want closed tabs. soo useful for when you close a tab, but realize you need it again. or for mistakes etc. it also lets you customize the tabs in so many different ways or protect a tab from closing and restore closed browser sessions. There's a ton of features, it's easily one of my top two extensions to have, to other being adblock.

Nice, that sounds sick. NoScript is basically the #1 thing to keep shit from downloading to your computer without your permission. Whenever you go to a site, it will block all content that the site tries to run on your computer. A lot of the time this is shit like videos, so it takes about two days of usual browsing to whitelist all the sites you want, but then on sites that are sketchy that you don't trust you're protected from whatever they throw at you.

It's cool i guess. I like FF2 better. What the hell is up with the pull down tab for sites showing my complete history. Why wont it just save the dozen sites I always visit?
It's pissing me off showing all that crap

Yeah, the only thing that pisses me off about the new Firefox is that thing... they need to go back to the old method where the address bar brings up a list of sites that you've visited once you type in a letter.
