One of the first things I notice after installing, the text on the Gmail buttons is blank (I can see the button outline but can't see the text so I have to rely on the tooltips). Kind of a deal-breaker.

Not sure about firefox, but in chrome you can get around it by appending a trailing / to things
Thanks, that worked for me in Chrome for desktop, but not in my Android mobile browser which messes up intranet site addresses even if I select them from history.
See answer 1, manually set your DNS server in wifi Advances page.

Are you also okay with it giving it to every party the search provider gives it to? Business partners (?), employees snooping, government agencies (with or without lawful process), hackers who've compromised the provider's business? Are the people who's sites you're using also okay with you passing URLs on their sites to your search provider? Do you ever accidentally paste confidential text in the wrong field? Becaus…
You could make the same criticism about hosted email. Do you run your own email server and communicate only with other PGP users?

Separate address and search bars is old-fashioned. Exactly how I like it, I HATE getting search results when I make a type-o, or try to go to an internal site and forget to specify http://

Most users-on-street don't want to customise either. Edit: The moderation on this is baffling. Does anyone genuinely believe users want to customise to achieve reasonable defaults? HN should ban new users from m…
I can't imagine that most users-on-street would want or benefit from separate address and search fields either.
I love Firefox -- for what it's done, what it represents, and what it helps guard against. I have fond memories of those early versions of Firefox (nee Firebird) that busted open the IE monopoly, and where hands-down the best browser going at the time. But it's never felt very good on the Mac to me, and it still doesn't. Here's a few early thoughts on this release, from the perspective of a happy Safari user, w/ a pr…
I have fond memories of those early versions of Firefox (nee Firebird) that busted open the IE monopoly, Monopoly? Before Firefox/Firebird there was Netscape Navigator, which was to be the "Mosaic killer" (hence "Mozilla"). IE was never the only browser around, even on Windows.

You can reduce it because yes it is useless. Something like this (one of these is pointless but I can't remember which one..) /* correct titlebar icons position */ #titlebar-content > * { margin-top: -6px; } /* Reduce the padding between the URL bar and the tabs/content */ #nav-bar-customization-target { margin-top: -2px !important; margin-bottom: -2px !important; }
Presumably (for the uninitiated) under userchrome.css? http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
* Can't double click top left corner to close on windows.
* How do i get to the hamburger menu with only my keyboard?
* If my mum accidentally removes something from the hamburger menu, like options, and one day i have to guide her to that option over the phone there are like hundreds of steps to go through. First i have to figure out if she actually is looking at the right menu, then i have to figure out if she actually has the icon on her menu or not. When that is done i have to guide her to the customize menu, then pull the icon back, close the customizer, open the menu again and then click the icon. These steps will all be different depending on how your mum customized the menu. Previously i could just tell her click the top left menu and go to add-ons. There is no standard path to follow (except the alt-key, down-key keyboard fallback still using the old menus from version 3). The hamburger menu should be a shortcut for your favorites, not the only way to find an option. Seriously, it's as if Windows forced you to add a control panel shortcut on the start menu before you can access your network settings. This is trying too hard to be too user "friendly".
* How do i find the dropdown menus for my add-ons? Seem like the only path to get there is again to use the hidden alt, down keyboard fallback and then go to tools.
Just a question, but why is the interation cycle so extreme with Mozilla? Version 29? What is so different from version 3.x.x ... where we had normal interations I could wrap my head around. The whole number upgrades are insane. I know its such a simple thing, but trying to relate with software interation steps on such a fast moving number, just is mind boggling.
OS X doesn't have that issue, I suspect in part because they are have a more rapid release cycle.
could be handy
Edit: Oh, I see! You were saying that the fact that there is now support could be handy, not asking for it to be supported. ;)
