Firefox 3 came out. Marketing course Mozilla to download the day come, attracted attention. Now you need to figure out what's new in the browser, and most importantly, how it is convenient and easy to manage, because yuzabelnost program with great competition sometimes plays a decisive role in choosing. Let's talk about tvikah, tricks, hakah and other Easter eggs, which are not covered marketing department Mozilly.

Reducing the size of Great back button

firefox3-reduction button ago The first thing you will notice a new interface in Firefox 3 - so big the back button. Although in reality it is very convenient, less likely to miss. But if the button is simply too large for your taste, it's easy to fix. Simply right-click on the toolbar in Firefox, and select Customize. At the bottom of the dialog box tick "Small icons".

Office ugadyvaemyh number of values in the Smart Location Bar.

firefox3-smart_location_bar One of the features of Firefox 3 is the ability to anticipate your desires. When you type the address in the address bar, Firefox 3 offers you the options you have already viewed pages. However, this list can be very long, by default - 12. It is not always convenient. How is it configured? Type about: config in the address bar and press Enter. Click "I promise that we will be careful!" Find the line browser.urlbar.maxRichResults in the filter field. Set the desired number of proposals. In the example in the picture is selected 3.

Removing typo when entering the URL.

firefox3 - deleting the wrong url While hints of Smart Location bar is clever, but if you enter an incorrect URL-say, to a page that does not exist - Firefox 3 will remember it and offer it at a later date, with a warning that this page does not exist. (Garbage in, garbage out:) To delete the wrong URL from a list of suggestions for good, you need to put the cursor on the proposal and press Del in Windows. This trick also works in any form of auto-complete, if you're not doing your user name in the form.

Obsolete expansion

The philosophy of Firefox, it seems, follows the principle of all the extensions to third-party developers. However, Firefox 3 was enriched by some of the features, which makes unnecessary some of the extensions. Here are five extensions that you do not need to Firefox 3:

  1. NoSquint
  2. Google Gears
  3. Resize Search Box
  4. DownThemAll
  5. Better Gmail and other Mailto: handler add-ons.

Return "AwesomeBar"

Further Oldbar will help restore your "AwesomeBar".

Sort your collection Bookmark

firefox3-smart_bookmarks.png Like the Smart Playlists in iTunes, Smart Bookmarks (most popular in the Russian translation) Firefox 3 - is a dynamic list of URL, sorted according to specific search criteria. Here's how to
create your own collection of Smart Bookmarks Using the search parameters. Briefly: Ctrl-Shift-B -> Management -> New tab. Next in line "Address" enter the following:

Hint: To add your most frequently visited pages on the search-bot.net, should be entered into the address bar:
place: queryType = 0 & sort = 8 & maxResults = 5 & domain = search-bot.net.

Set Gmail as your email client by default.

In Firefox 3, you can associate a file type with a desktop or online application. This opens the door to an automatic start Google mail, by clicking on an email link.
Here's how to run the Gmail, when you click on the link mailto.

Greeted by robots

In Firefox 3 has Easter egg, associated with a new way-as a talisman

Is it possible to adjust the opening of new tabs next to active? Are there plug-ins to use the mouse, as in Opera? How can we redirect links to other applications?

Comment by Poiskovyi_robot September 14, 2008 @ 18:49

Nickname: The standard settings tab in FF, you can only choose "Switch to otkryvaemuyu tab or open it in the background. But after opening a tab, you can drag and drop. Uncomfortable, so I use Chrome: hotkeys Google Chrome. About plug-ins do not know. It is easier to switch to inherently easy to use program than waste time searching and studying lotions, correcting initial awkward interface.
And even the most comfortable of all - Maxthon. It is a pity that the Vistoy glyuchit so would only use them.
Redirect links to third-party applications: what to keep in mind?

Comment by Nick September 14, 2008 @ 19:28

About dragging know. Makston compared with the Opera, did not find a management arm, has refused. In the first version of FF was not vladok, so long enjoyed the opera. In the new version faerfoksa suits: one row of open tabs (do not clutter the screen, as in the opera with multiline display and not suzhivaetsya to zero, as in the same opera, with one line) support encryption, as in s (do not exactly know what, but Building a network of opera does not work because of the lack of such support).
Redirecting links: in particular - to send the links in the P2P emul.

Comment by Nick September 14, 2008 @ 19:37

Makston, in fact, the add-on ИЕ I understood correctly? A FF - separate browser.

Comment by Poiskovyi_robot September 15, 2008 @ 14:20

Yes, Makston add. Only at times more convenient than IE. By the way, it's strange that you can not find a mouse. It is supported from the time when it was called MyIE. The name "mouse gestures" in the settings.
