Firefox 2
October 29th, 2006Well I’ve had a bit of time to play with Firefox 2 and it has left some very good and some very bad impressions. One of the minor things that annoyed me was the go button that really doesn’t have a actual use as far as I’m concerned. Its far quicker to hit enter then use the button and only serves to clutter the ui up.
The fix for that one is to go to your about:config and set browser.urlbar.hideGoButton to true. The second appears to have been caused by a plugin. The plugin in question is Tabbrowser Preferences, so if you randomly finding yourself always going to .com sites instead of what you expect (google’s I feel lucky) then uninstall that plugin and you should be good again.
I was hoping for something that would have less initial issues, but I guess I wasn’t that lucky. The spell checkerĀ is nice though. Thats one feature that I’ve made a lot of use of so far as my spelling is far from the best.
