Firefox is Zapping my Happy Linux Buzz

By Carla Schroder

“Another amusing Firefox quirk is inconsistent Ctrl+T behavior.
This is supposed to open a new tab. Sometimes it works. Sometimes
it doesn’t.

“The Location Bar History has gone insane. On normal browsers
you click the little arrow to see a drop-down menu of the most
recent pages you have visited, in order. I love this. But Firefox
horked it and now it shows old pages I haven’t visited in ages, and
recent entries are nowhere.

“The Google toolbar does not automatically clear seaches. What
the heck is that about? I just love having extra work because
Firefox thinks I need it. Konqueror on Debian automatically clears
entries in the Google bar, and if I want to repeat a search there
is a nice dropdown menu with recent searches.”
