Am I the only person who is disappointed with the latest update of Firefox? I can no longer chose the regular addresses in my address bar, and it drives me crazy, as some that I want there do not appear despite going on them daily, while two blogs my girlfriend reads occasionally when my laptop is closer to hand (twice or three times a week) are permanently listed. Plus two different facebook addresses.

Does anyone know a way of manually adjusting this?

Ever used the keywords? I have my gmail account bookmarked, with the keyword "g". Now, "g" and enter on the address bar brings it up.

The only thing I have a problem with is that when I try to type an apostrophe when using hotmail, Firefox automatically opens a "quick find search" just above the taskbar.

That's a bug that occasionally annoys me. I think some PDFs trigger it. There's a fix here:

I think restarting the browser also works as a quick fix.

Just switch over to Google Chrome, it's much better I find

Sure. When they address the privacy concerns and implement an equivalent of Adblock (it's broken in Firefox 3.5, which I updated to this morning, and I'm missing it a lot - there are pop-ups and ads everywhere).

latest version of AdBlock (1.1.1) works in Firefox 3.5.2

That's Adblock Plus. I'd been using an older version of Ablock. I've switched over now - cheers for highlighting it.
