Not saying it will work for everyone, but I just did the update on the old computer I use here at work, and it loads a whole lot faster, and TG seems to load up a lot quicker. Of course I use TG's site as a reference for all things web related

Perhaps an admin could add this graphic to the list of forum smilies?

Jeepo,
Use Imagebot, it's way better!
It uses imageshack as a host

In fact, it enabled the new branch of Firebug, which has more features.

But I'll probably need to reload the addon for http://instantaction.com/ which supplies web-based games. FF told me the old one was incompatible and didn't find a replacement. I figure as soon as I go try to use the site to game again, it'll give me a newer one, as I saw people claiming to use FF 3.5 in their forums.

Another one that got disabled is the WoW Realm Status tool, but I hardly ever use that.

Re: Firefox 3.5 releases tomorrow, 6-30-09

While we're on the topic of addons... There was a brilliant addon called "sessionkeeper." It would save the state of all your tabs, including browsing history. Far, far superior to the straight-out, dumb "bookmark all tabs."

It was never updated to FF2 because, supposedly "Firefox incorporated this functionality." Sorry, "restore previous session" was a lame, crippled attempt. Frankly, I'd much rather have this functionality added to the bookmarks feature list.

Anyone know of a similar addon or greasemonkey hack that will work with either 3.x or 3.5.x?

Ah, never mind. Looks like updating to FF 3.5 restored my compatibility check override. Yay!

luckily for me, I barely use any plugins, so it's been fantastic so far!
