I have disabled showcase now because I find it's quicker and easier to just look down the list of titles. :-) I couldn’t find the tab quickmenu because I had the Showcase add-on installed – if you disable showcase then in the same spot is a similar ‘down arrow’ button but rather than showing mini-screenshots of every tab like showcase, it just lists all their titles.

(Firefox 2 didn't work so well with it when it was in beta, either) I have yet to try it. because I use virtually every computer I use with my cms at some point. and apparently you can't log in at all with Firefox 3... or so the multiple people contacting the helpdesk wondering why it doesn't work have told me... Firefox 3 may not work with your cms…

Well, at least I couldn't do it without Chris Pederick's awesome <a href="http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/" rel="nofollow">WebDeveloper</a> and AdBlock Plus. 2) Sing it sister. The speed improvements of FF3 are noticeable even to novices. Nicely done, Team Mozilla! 3) I'm not liking the new bookmark stuff yet but the problem with that likely lies with me rather than with FF3. I can get a bit set in my ways where click-paths are concerned. 4) Ooooh! I haven't played with the full-page zoom yet but I'll definitely be doing that the next time the XP box is booted. 5) The tab quick menu isn't new, IIRC. At least I see it here on my FF2. Perhaps there are usability changes which have brought it to your attention? Or maybe I have some obscure extension installed here which has given me the quick menu for all this time. IIRC, FF3 will be out of beta and released to the world real soon now. Those who aren't inclined to adopt early won't have to wait long to get their hands on a seriously improved web browser. Now if only they'd finally become 100% ACID compliant... On the rare occasions that I use the dust-collecting-XP box behind me I use FF3 and have been since the first RC build.
