Firefox 3.5

I conceded and upgraded to Firefox 3.5.

My main concern was the new tab bar – what the + sign was all about, and how it would impact on my standard way of opening new tabs, and closing them. In fact my concerns are somewhat alleviated – although you don’t get a close x for the first tab, it appears when more tabs are opened.

Tabs in Firefox 3.5

I have found overall that it has improved my browsing – I can click the + for a new tab, and with the Google Toolbar providing the 9 most popular pages I have visited recently, I can bring one of those up with one additional click. This added functionality gained by installing the latest Google Toolbar mimics one of the features found in Google’s own browser, Google Chrome.
