    Firefox 3.6 Changes and new features (was I Don't Like ..)

    Ok since installed firefox 3.6 I notice when right-click a pic that properties has gone - now we have 'View Image Info' ok hmm gives some details but off course one plugin i have wont show details with it - actually it shows less info than properties used to i feel apart from a heap off added page image infor i dont need??? Hmm is there somehow to turn that off and have properties back again lol

    Opanda iexif link says cant find exif on pics and its there - i have to actually save a pic to look at exif never had to before??? Opanda never showed up as not working with 3.6

    ARGH i dont like 3.6 :/

    And ------ ad block + seems to "stuff up" a few things as well as the fact that new tabs now open next to the one that you are viewing instead of at the far right hand end of the open tabs!!!!!

    I am hoping there are some updates / fixes soon, I think they have taken a big step backwards at the moment.

    Where is the link for opera ----------

    Cat uninstall FxIF , restart FF, the re-install it. (Tools/Addons)

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5673

    Its the problem, not FF
    The V4 of FxIF also shows as 'EXIF Data' in the right click menu

    OK!!

    I'm not getting that!

    I open up a series of new tabs via various methods(rightclick->Open in new tab, Ctrl-T, double click the tab bar..etc, and they all open at the very end of the tabs list.

    strange issue indeed.

    My only incompatibility so far is Histogram Viewer Add-On is not compatible with v3.6.

    That's a settable option ... Use TMP https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122

    Agree, if we moved to FF 4.0 fair enough, it is a whole new version, but to break things between 'service packs' isn't good. I am still running 3.5.7 and will stick to it for the time being I think.
