Firefox 3.0 | featured news

FireFox 3.6 is officially released today. After 3.5's browser freezing problems which caused me to downgrade to 3.0, I was kinda reluctant to upgrade. I did it anyway, and to my surprise, it was as advertised.

Recently I've updated the Alexa Sparky add-on for FireFox 3.0, which displays website traffic rankings on the status bar. It's a nice little plugin that not only lets you see how large other sites are, but it also helps improve your rankings a little bit. After updating the add-on, I started noticing some strange behavior while browsing the web.

I just installed a really useful FireFox addon: Tree Style Tab. It allows you to place your tabs on the top (default), left sidebar, right sidebar, or bottom. For me, it's the option to put the tabs on either sidebar that's most useful. My screen resolution is 1440. Since most websites have a max resolution of 1024, there's still a lot of space left for either sidebar.
