I didn't notice it as being anything different than FF2 until I read the "What's New" page on Mozilla' s FF site. At which point I thought, "Huh, I guess it does look different." Since then I've used it, but I've found myself squinting through it... Many times it will come up with deep internal pages before just the home page of a site, and it's usually not the deep pages I'm looking for. Also, Google Maps breaks it. The page title listed in the "Awesome Bar" will indicate an address, search, or whatever, but you'll notice that the URL is just maps.google.com. I don't know if that's FF's problem or Google's, but it sure does cause users' actions to have unexpected results. Sorry if this is a little light on the cynicism. I've used most of mine up for today. : ) - F. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
