Firefox 3 A Huge Turd
Ok I broke down and accepted the "update" to Firefox 3. What a massive piece of crap that thing is. It has the ugliest browser history I've ever seen. And I can't find a way to revert back to the more classic Firefox style. I had it installed for a whole 10 minutes and I dumped it for Firefox 2. If you've debated upgrading your browser... don't.
I want a browser that works and is clean and easy to use. I don't want that disaster of a layout that is FF 3. WTF were they thinking with that design?

The only thing I don't like with FF3 is that it refuses to shut down sometimes, you have to force it.
As for the layout, it looks almost the same to me just a little rounded on the edges.

Works fine for me, but then I am always happy when something on my computer works the way it is supposed to.

How do you change the browser history? I absolutely hated the site titles in the list. I just want the urls.

oh yea, I forgot it does that now. That took a couple days to get used to. I am pretty sure there is a way to stop it, as I recall running into the option to turn it off but I left it on.
I'll check later, bout to head to work atm.

Go to the tool menu at the top of the browser window, highlight the privacy tab, and there is the history control panel. You can turn it off or delete it.

Here is a link to a Firefox add-on that displays the URLs in the history more old school style.

Here is another add-on. This one hides urls you haven't visited since you last clicked clear history. Honestly this browser is absolute trash. The fact that I have to do all this crap just to allow a clear browser history is a disgrace. What did they do? Hire Microsoft people? I have more crap to fix like it putting every freggin url I hit in the browser history. If I visit 10 pages on one site all 10 pages will show up.

Screw this. I went back to FF 2. No way in hell will I use crap like FF 3. That shit goes in the bin with Windows Vista. Mozilla should be embarrassed to put something like this out.

yeah I agree. I had FF3 installed for 15 minutes. I tried to like it but it's really a cheap ripoff of IE. I'm using FF2 now. No problems with this one.
