Firefox 3.6

I like it a lot.   Sporting a Dark Side of the Moon "persona".   This is also faster than 3.5 and the subsequent patches as well.

Holding back until IE Tab upgrades along with it. Anyone have pipelining enabled with 3.6? Is it stable as with 3.5?

Forums used to take a while on 3.5.  Haven't had a problem since then

There is also a 64bit version of Firefox out there as well. Just like IE, none of the 32 bit plug-ins work properly for it though.

pipelining? :headscratch:

Pipelining is a feature that speeds up internet connections. It's the same concept used by download managers. I can't explain why, but opening multiple connections to a server will result in a page or file loading faster. Some sites won't allow it, such as Rapidshare or Megaupload, unless you pay for their subscription, but up-to-date sites like that simply won't let you do it and therefor don't bring about any problems. Some of the older, hand-coded download sites may ban you for pipelining, however, as it puts a bigger strain on their servers.

I'm sure HTC would like to punch me in the face when I open up on the skins page, downloading them ALL at the same time, pipelined. :D

As for FireFox, I'm enjoying the new version except that they changed the tab mechanics a bit. Used to be when you middle-clicked to open a new tab, it popped up on the right hand side end of the list of open tabs. Now it opens next to the tab you clicked the link in. I got so used to closing the tab on the end without looking when I wanted to get rid of the newest tab that I am still closing tabs to websites I want to keep open on accident.

Can you disable the whole tab thing?  I have always detested the user interface, but then again, I hate the user interface of IE7 and on as well.

I have always liked the simple user interface in IE6.  Easy to use and easy to manage.

why would you want to skuzzy? Much easier to open links in a new tab, leaving the original page there to back to if needed.

The pipelining thing is bloody awesome!
