Firefox 3rc1 - Ongoing Toolbar Fail

There's so much to love about Firefox 3 on the mac.

But why can't they get the toolbar right?

It now has a correct faded look when unfocussed but they still can't get the unified toolbar right.

Look where the mouse is. You could (maybe, kinda) forgive them for not making a click at that point a drag action.

What you can't forgive is that it is a button click when the pointer is clearly outside the bounds of the button.

You'd be amazed how annoying it is.

Or maybe you wouldn't.

Firefox History Cleanup


Firefox, originally uploaded by Xurble.

So far I'm liking Firefox 3.

I'm even getting used to the smart address bar thingemy.

But since it's so damn smart now, it feels like a missed opportunity to fix one of my biggest browser auto-complete bugbears.

How do you get rid of an erroneous (say mistyped) entry from the list? Particularly one the goes to the top of the list and obscures the thing you're really after.

I reckon a delete from history button (X marks the spot) in the drop list would do the trick.

Don't say the F Word!

Friend's reunited must be running scared. They won't let you put the word "Facebook" in your profile.

How fucking sad is that?

The letter g is also a problem apparently.
