Summary: Firefox 3 beta 3 sexy location bar in Gnome
Comments:
I like the new location bar. One gripe: I don't use the mouse very
often. I hit Ctl-T for a new tab and start typing the address where I
want to go. The mouse pointer is sitting in the middle of the screen.
The new location bar list pops up and the item that gets highlighted is
whichever one the mouse pointer is pointing at. Say, for instance, I
want to go to fark.com. There are lots of fark.com addresses in my
history, but I want to go to the toplevel page. When I've typed in
'fark.com' into the address bar, the mouse is pointing, not at the first
entry in the drop-down new address bar, but at some other site I've
visited in the domain. So the only entry I make is to hit Ctl-T, type
the domain 'fark.com' and hit return. Then I'm off to some random
fark.com address in my history.
This is my experience with Firefox 3, beta 3 running under Gnome with
RHEL Linux 5.1. I don't have the same problem under Windows XP.
Keep up the good work!
John
