how do you change the default bookmark location? unsorted bookmarks is stupid

on chrome and old firefox I could just press a button and it would enter a list. now it enters limbo where it is and isn't a bookmark. I just want it to save to the bookmark menu.

I guess this version removes, changes or hides basic functions as well, like every new version of every browser. This shit happens all the fucking time.

Unless I'm missing something here Firefox and Mozilla are Gecko based, not Webkit.

i know. but it's annoying that tabs on top is default

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #19 on:** March 24, 2011, 12:09:47 AM »

I really don't understand why Chrome has become useless for me. Not gonna bother with a clean re-install, though.

Oh well. Firefox 4 is working great for me.

WTF has the status bar gone. Going to take some getting used to this. Maybe I should switch to Chrome now

there's no real reason for it to be there, really. you only look at it when you're actually loading a new page so it pops up a thing when you actually are and disappears when it's done. pretty clever

This demos site is pretty sweet: http://demos.mozilla.org/

Best ones are the augmented reality and 360 video.

Still having the issue with Chrome not fully loading all images, so this is a very welcomed replacement.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #26 on:** March 24, 2011, 03:13:52 PM »

I've noticed significantly less CPU usage when FF is idle with my usual 9 tabs open. FF3 would be between 16- 23% when idle.

4 looks between 2-10%.

Installed it.

The main UI looks like someone really really likes Opera. I mean, that button/tab layout is so familiar it's basically the same. Freaky. If I was any sort of Browser warrior I'd call it shameless, but I'm sure it's just some API that more or less mandates how these Titlebar overlays work.

I also hate them. Let me drag around my Windows, please. Why u put Tabs where grabbable area? WHY?

Sticking to my preferred browser still, but I guess it's nice to have. Gonna set up dat sync, finally. Because Syncing your bookmarks etc with the cloud is awesome.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #29 on:** March 26, 2011, 03:31:30 AM »

I'm really liking it before, certainly seems to be much less of a resource hog.

How is compatibility with existing extensions?

I only use Adblock, DownloadHelper, NoScript, and TinEye, but they all still work.
