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://
Me too! accessibility.typeaheadfind.flashBar=0 --- browser.fixup.alternate.enabled=false --- keyword.enabled=false Turns the address bar into an ACTUAL address bar. (Hope I didn't forget any.)

Separate address and search bars is old-fashioned If you type in the search bar then it automcompletes by sending all of your keystrokes to your search provider. If you type in the address bar then it autocompletes by using your history. These are two very different use cases, and I appreciate the ability to search my history without notifying google of the name of internal servers.
If you type something that is clearly not a web address, firefox send it off to a search engine as well. It sends mine to whatever search engine is selected in the search bar.

I don't understand the issue. alt+d for address bar ctrl+k for search bar. What's so complicated?
And I assume you also don't understand why anyone might prefer to use an IDE instead of vim/emacs...

Firefox's memory usage has ballooned since FF 13. https://areweslimyet.com/ On my 512MB Raspberry Pi, this used to be FF's greatest strenth. Unfortunately the latest versions are getting nearly as bad as chrome. I wish Mozilla would focus on their strengths and put more resources back into their memshrink project.
I guarantee you that FF29's memory usage is better in general than FF13, because it avoids numerous bad cases where old versions that used to cause memory usage to skyrocket. Those cases -- where memory goes up 10x -- are the ones that hurt. In contrast, you're unlikely to notice 20% higher memory usage during normal use.
When Chrome started to get fat, it was great to have a lightweight alternative like Firefox. But lately even Firefox has been causing my 1GB netbook to thrash. I hate to have to junk a perfectly good machine that is only used for email and browsing just because of software bloat. After doing a factory restore, it looks like that or a lightweight Linux distro(while losing flash and HW accel) are my only options.

I run Firefox with a lot of plugins. I rely on the status bar (add-on bar) to keep many of the plugin notification / configuration buttons out of my toolbar. From my perspective, Firefox is working hard to drive me away, by removing its distinguishing features that make it different from Chrome.
I felt the same way as you but try putting them in the "bookmarks toolbar". It works similarly and it's quite nice to have everything at the top of the screen after a while.
Just made the switch from Chrome to Firefox. I noticed that even on a high-end Macbook Pro, when I opened a large amount of tabs in quick succession Chrome would lag intolerably. It did so on earlier releases of Firefox but I just tried on 29 and it opened 40+ tabs with without a hick-up. Very pleased indeed Edit: I just noticed that the text selection now works as it does in text editors with blinking cursor and all…
Firefox RIP 29.04.2014 Sorry but i try and this is shit, chrome,opera look better Digg Killed Digg
Why's it matter what it looks like, it's literally a few tabs and an address bar to wrap around your webpages. Does it function well?

I don't get it either. "Status 4 ever" didn't help either. But I found a way: Get this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/classicthemerest... Activate the "Bottombar Toolbar" by right clicking somewhere on the top space where the bars are. Now you have a small bar down there. Open the new funky customization menue and drag the "Statustext"-Element down there. The only problem is that you'll find your…
This did not work for me. In fact classic theme restorer broke FF's Customize... menu feature, as well as the hamburger menu at the end of the toolbar - it is now completely inoperable, even after removing it.
