ok, nevermind. Firefox apparently works with secondary window scrolling now! So I think I’m back to Firefox, especially after reading about the safari bug with automatic downloads.

Now I just have to get used to typing command+F for searching again, in Safari you just start typing!(I like that feature)

the best feature, and the main reason I use safari, is the secondary window scrolling. I love being able to scroll the window behind the primary one!

I currently use the safari lookalike Grapple Yummy (blue) theme on RC1, and would highly reccomend it to all mac users. It shaves a few more pixels of space off the toolbars (which is worth it, in my eyes). You can also drag the bookmarks button into the bookmarks toolbar and the it will shrink to fit, just like safari. I can see why firefox wants to create its own ‘brand’ with the rounded buttons and address bar, but to me they just waste space…

Overall after I’m extremely pleased with the update, and the OS integration (even though I did have to find a third party theme).

My problem with it is that it insists on launching in a window that takes up the whole width of my display, no matter how many times I resize it. I can’t see anyway to stop it doing that, so I’m sticking with Safari as number one browser and Flock as number two browser.

I have finally switched all machines to it as the stablility issues in RC1 seem to have been for the largest part fixed. Plus there are beta version of foxmarks, password1 and fission which are my three add-ons I like and would have trouble living without. The one thing I have noticed issues with is Logmein and I am hoping it is just something with the version on my mini at home that is causing it to basically lock up when I try and use it. If not then painfully I might have to go back to b5 that did work.

Regarding the complaint about the forward-back buttons, to make them the same size simply go to Customize Toolbar and select ‘use small icons’
