waiting for adblock and spell checker support, before I install it

Post by **booker** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 7:19 pm

adblock works

Post by **Giraffe }{unter** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 7:36 pm

I installed it yesterday, adblock continues to block the existing thing, but when you press the adblock in the statusbar it cannot detect any new items on the page.

They fucked up the options menu. Looks like shit and hard to navigate.

On the bright side forcing popups into tabs has returned..

Officially released.

Borked a few of my extensions but meh. Seems a bit faster.

Updating extensions and firefox is a lot faster now.

Moving the tabs from the left to the top is such an unwelcome change?

On a related note, looks like Mozilla redesigned their website. I really like the layout of the last one, with the seperated blue bar at top and the tabs. Very clean and easy to navigate. I don't know what to think of the new design yet.

You can compare the new look with the old one here:

http://www.mozilla-japan.org/

vs.

http://www.mozilla.com/

I also noticed they got rid of the search feature, which is supposedly a big no-no.

Might be a temp thing so their page dosen't get fucked over with a ton of people dloading.

Post by **dzjepp** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 12:53 am

Oh wait, the dot org page is still there, with the search function and all

Post by **mjrpes** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 12:58 am

You could be on to something. Maybe they're trying to make the layout as simple as possible to cater to users who are only there to download the thing.

What do you mean? It's the site you get transferred to when you type in getfirefox.com.

Oh, I didn't know that. I've always just gone to mozilla.org.

Tabs moved up the top, made ugly as well.

Privacy form is now split into about 8 different tabs with like 1 thing on each instead of one page (shitty)

so they're supposed to work AROUND the communities' extensions? no.

The search extensions are muffed up, which is a shame.

I would expect to see a revision pretty soon.

Fortunately, Google indexes the site (almost) completely.
