I'm still addicted to TBE. Granted, every single official release of FX has included more and more TBE features but there are still some missing that I can't otherwise live without. How do people survive without undo-close-tab?

Doesn't FF2 have an undo-close-tab button as a stock inclusion anyway? I've only got one extension (alt-text sorter-outer, thanks CJ) but I can undo-close-tab whenever it takes my fancy. Sorry if I've misinterpreted or the like.

Yeah, undo close tab is native now, as is "Restore Previous Browser Session" which will re-open everything in case of a crash or if you just close the browser with a dozen tabs open.

Seriously, though, learn how to use about:config - you can change anything you don't like pretty much.  I've made the default tab width 75px instead of the default 100 so I can have more tabs visible at once.

There are times when I feel as though I know something about computers.

This is not one of them.

yeah, um, where are these two now-native features hiding from me? I am not experiencing any of them.

also, I downloaded an Ad-On which is supposed to tell me the weather, but it does not know that St Louis exists (except a bunch of them in France.)


pre-edit: Actually, I found the "recently closed tabs" thing. clever.

It is a native feature now but it wasn't in in previous versions. I meant that as an example of a can't-live-without feature that one used to need an extension for. See also: Session Restore and Force Single Window Mode

I like how the core app has started to absorb some of the features of the smaller and very common extensions.  I hope it continues to subsume the extensions that just add necessary flexibility to the platform itself.

I mean, I wouldn't expect FireFox to become bloatware, adding in every extension ever made, but basic tab management and not DELETING YOUR BOOKMARKS when it crashes is a nice start.

Yes, I still run a backup macro at least once a day that saves my Mozilla profiles folder to an external hard drive just in case something goes wonky and FF decides when it restarts again to wipe out all of my settings and bookmarks.

So not doing that is a big plus.

Bimmicus! Act your age!

For Halloween, I will merely possess the appetite of a pig. Those Halloween sweets ain't going to eat them themselves.

That's another one that I completely forgot isn't standard. Mainly when I hear people bitching about MySpace playing songs whether you want to hear them or not.
