Firefox 3 is THE WORST browser EVER!

Dude, i'm NOT talking about the search engine. i'm talking about typing in the address bar! i only took google.com as an example search.

For the love of God. . . . .it's spelled "address.":|

Jaysonguy

I think we found the problem

When you want to go to GameFAQs don't type in www.gameFAKs.com

:lol: That is what I was thinking.

[QUOTE="TheDarthvader"][QUOTE="-Sluggo-"][QUOTE="TheDarthvader"]

so i type www.google.com and it gives me an entire list of search pages i've ever done in the last couple of months, somewhere in that pile of useless adresses is the actual "www.google.com"

it should have given me "www.google.com" as the first result!

AirGuitarist87

The answer to that would be typing "www.google.com"...and hitting enter.:|

that was just an example of how its not suppose to work.

@air guitar
i'm talking about searching my address bar, not google.

What in gods name is it that you want then? If you want accurate searches then use a search engine. If you want to type in an address use the address bar.

I tried to put it in the simplest possible way but somehow you still dont get it.

I type in "ne", and it sorts "slashdot-NEws for NErds", and "groklaw.NEt", and a few other things, BEFORE "NEws.google.com".

If I WANTED slashdot, I would have typed "sl". If I WANTED groklaw, I would have typed "gr".

Do you now get what i was trying to say?

Yes, you're using a two letter word and expecting fan-smabulously mind reading results. As I've already said there're over 1 billion results with "ne" so don't be so picky.

In fairness to the TC, while I find it less egregious than he does, assuming that "ne" should autocomplete to slashdot is pretty ****ing too precious for words.xaos

.Dracargen

Now to find that pic did you type in the letter "O" and then had to scroll through the results?

Yes. And it was the first result.

Internet Explorer 7 is THE BEST browser EVER!

I think he's hitting the choices, rather than typing in the URL. I mean, I typed in the first few letters of a site I go to, and it gave me that option, and a couple more, but it didn't automatically filled in the URL. It let me finish....

and that's not a big deal..

lol's... Dude you just got it. and it has no IDEA what NE means. It's like me going up to mom and telling her I want pz for dinner instead of saying Pizza. computer can't read minds yet.

just type news.google.com it takes about 1 sec max. If it takes you longer than that get some typing lessons.

I do believe the TC is talking absolute rubbish. :roll:

Firefox is the best browser available and your complaining because you can't work something as simple as an address bar?!

Grow up...

But it's the 21st century.......The ability to read minds must be available! :O

i've said it about 2000 times in this single thread, FF2 had the ability to do that, then why not FF3? and when i have to type the entire address, then whats the point names being saved in the address bar?

its like google searching www.gamespot.com and instead of the first result as gamespot.com, it links to a random forum where someone wrote in their post 'game' and 'spot' somewhere else.

DeeJayInphinity

to be honest, shouldn't it search for the adress that most closly resembles the address he is typing? If I'm typing "gamespot" and it gives me "www.asitethatssimilartogamespot.com" as the top result I'd be pretty annoyed too.

TC, have you tried the latest Opera? it has a similar function, maybe it works better?

Erasorn

I know what he's talking about, but it's not that big a deal to me.

An example is I wanted to go to "callawaygolf.com" but typing in "cal" brings up something like "golfgalaxy.com/callaway/..."

So you have to type in a few extra letters to get "callawaygolf.com" to pop up.

Uh... *Points to Internet Explorer, AOL, and Netscape* jaydough

hahah indeed.

Yes i have, its on my other PC. No problems on it. But i like FF more so i'll give this one a little more time.

And thanks for understanding my 'pain' :P

Do the people who design these things even type at all when they use the browser, or do just they think they are helping out old people who don't know how to use a mouse with fancy icons?????

Jaysonguy

You obviosuly need some time with the instructions

It's a simple interface that sifts the information into what's in your bookmarks, what's popular, and where you've been before

It doesn't send you to the wrong place unless you screw up and it doesn't stop you from going where you typed.

Next time read over the literature before you move to an upgrade that you're not ready to use

What's funny is that it's actually a useful/cool new feature.

why are people getting argumentative over a browser?

who cares. if you use it, use it. if you dont like it then whatever

cry me a friggin river all of you

Firefox 3

It seems pretty sweet ot me so far. And Firefox is always miles better then Internet Explorer.

Ill give firefox3 a few weeks before i decide to use it for good or not.

Can I just add how happy I am when a web browser opens speedily, lets me type in a URL and displays HTML? Anything beyond that is really a distraction from what they are supposed to doxaos

For those downloaded it, the "location bar" or commonly known as "adress bar" is an unimaginable monstrosity. Its extremely terribly implemented, utterly flawed, and completely fails to find the required webpages making FF3 a pain in the ass to use.

TheDarthvader

YAY!!! I knew it would be bad, nothing beats IE, Oh Yeah!!! :)

Lol, WTF is that guy talking about!? Firefox 3 is the bestest one I ever used the browser!GaMeR_Willz

bestest? seriously?

You expect the browser to know exactly what website you want it to go to by typing in 'NE' after using the browser for less than a day where it hasnt had the time to discover your most visited sites. And, if it still doesnt work after a while, use the bookmark toolbar, use the search toolbar or a search engine, or type in the full address and hit enter.

Oh and for those who dont know what he is on about, look at my screenshot

Notice how 'top g' refers to GS first because i have visited this site more and its the most recent site. if i was to type 'top ge' i would then get top gear which is what i wanted. Now, i wouldnt make a fuss about it, and search it in the google search bar next to the address bar, or better yet, use the bookmark i made which u can see to the left
