Firefox 3.5 Final Released!

cortez said:
in my opinion, 3.5 is much faster (with Win 7 7100) than 3.0.11. multiple tabs appear to open and render much quicker! however, i reverted back to 3.0.11 because the feature to open a new tab from the address bar is not working.

Strange - Running 7100 x64 here and the Middle button click (wheel Button) opens a new tab from the address bar is working fine :confused:

Re:
"I personally think that this new firefox is alot faster.. its quick to load up also on a core duo processor which the others took like 3 secs to load this one is boom boom there lol"

--All of 3.5 has been MUCH slower and more system intensive (not as bad as IE but still bad)
Example - if I can launch 400 instances (tabs/windows/etc) with no problem with one build then say 200 with the next then say 25 with the new 3.5 - that's horrid! Though with IE 8 32bit 25 windows would probably lock my system and start flipping/blanking out windows... 64bit ie much better but come on, no 64 bit flash.... what the.............................

middle click opening a new tab works fine for me, too. if, however, i type a new address in the address bar, the active tab will go to the address i typed as opposed to opening a new tab (and going to the address i typed). if it's working for you then it must be an add-on conflict. i just hate chasing down gremlins like this! thanks for your response!

Can anybody else with ff 3.5 see if this happens. I 'm running 7264 x64.



I have IE open with three tabs and minimized to the taskbar. I have FF opened with two tabs. When I minimize FF at the top right, it throws up (maximizes) IE as soon as I click on the minimize button in FF.
Click to expand...
Try this and see if it helps.

browse to about:config create a new boolean named config.trim_on_minimize and set it to true then restart firefox.

Updating does not change the name of your shortcuts, and middle click open new tab should be on by default. In about:config check that browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick is set to true.

By the way middle mouse opens the tab in the background and shift + middle mouse opens the tab in the foreground.
