Few days ago, I have upgraded my Ubuntu to the latest 8.0４ LTS. On my old laptop, it took a while, however, the whole process was smooth. This is something Microsoft can only dream off. Upgrade for Windows is a joke. Even though, there is an option for Windows to upgrade to a new version, it just too messy. The upgrade often left tons of old backup files behind and a broken system due to incompatible drivers. It may sound funny, but it is actually less a troubles to fresh install Window. Anyway, have enough talk about Windows.
Back to the subject, Firefox. Well, on the surface, the version 3 looks pretty much like the old one. However, once you checked out the options, you will see many things had changed under the hood. I sure many features are well come, however, there are few features that I personally not welcome. That is the "new improved" location bar. While you are typing an URL, the new location bar starts to show entries from address book that match your typing. This may be a handy feature for some, but personally, I felt it shows too much! I have looked around on Google, and it seems there is no option to turn it off. You can reduce the number of entries show to 0 by setting the
browser.urlbar.maxRichResults, but it would still show you an entry from your bookmark.
Another feature that I found it annoying is the smart bookmark. Again, I don't like the idea it highlights the most recent vistied or created bookmark. I would really like to have options to switch off these "features" off in the future
