Firefox V29

bubblesbonbon

Just updated from V28 to 29 and this is not just a routine bug fix. The toolbars are different but it does seem a bit quicker.
Biggest bug bear for me is the Favorites Icon is now "Add to Favorites" and it doesn't prompt you which folder to save them to.

The new Menu button is useful though.

Any other observations MSE'ers?

• The Orange Firefox button is gone in Windows and replaced with a "hamburger" icon in the upper right corner
• Tabs are now rounded and only the current active tab is outlined
• The menu in the upper right corner is simpler and uses a drag-and-drop interface for easy customisation

Just upgraded to the new blue mess, why o why.

Favourites, Ctrl+D came up with the standard bookmark popup and allows me to add to a particular folder.

Stop loading page gone, refresh is located to right of address bar and not movable - mozilla you suck.

Now how do I get rid of the rotton blue look....

I really must get used to Firefox shortcuts

I abandoned FF when I found Palemoon. It keeps some of the older stuff which I like because I don't much like the way FF is going. Plus it is based off an older release so that extensions usually work and don't get disabled until they are updated which happens too frequently with FF.

I'll stick with Palemoon x64.

This is what my toolbar looks like now

Kind of sucks with no capability to move / customize the buttons anymore

Refresh/stop button integrated into address bar - no chance to move that.

Back button too - large and you can't make it smaller.

Back on topic....

If you want to retain the "old" Firefox look, then try the ESR version.

Anyway, dodging the handbags...................:cool:
I quite like a lot of the changes. It's still customisable with some themes still working and all persona's appear to be working.
I had my stop loading and refresh at the end of the URL bar anyway so that change hasn't affected too much.
I've been using it for a while now (Using 31 on nightly tests) and everything has now become second nature. I no longer hit the FF button for the menu's etc automatically.
It is faster and smoother than other versions.

Hi,

just updated, I think it's cute, a bit funky, though don't have the blue toolbar mentioned in previous post, which is fine for me.:T

I tested version 31 - its a bit messy. It apparently does away with Flash player and replaces with a new Mozilla offering which is meant to perform better. Flash is a real killer in Firefox.

Version 29 is ok after customization but I personally liked to be able to move the refresh/stop buttons around as I liked.

I tried Maxthon browser - it seems to be based on Firefox or it looks very similar to the new look Firefox.
