Neat Firefox 5 feature
My favourite Firefox 5 feature so far: the handling of tab resizing when you’re closing tabs. It doesn’t resize the remaining tabs until you move the mouse out of the tab bar – so if you’re just closing a bunch of tabs sequentially, the X doesn’t move out from under your cursor when the tabs resize, unless you signal that you’re done by moving the mouse away. Awesome!

Yep I love firefox too, but I think this feature was in Firefox 4 already, so it isn’t new to FF5.
Can’t wait for FF10… double figures! Dizzy heights
But things will start getting ridiculous somewhere around FF20, where the numbers start to lose their meaning. Though I suppose that is probably what Mozilla wants, as opposed to everyone flaming over Firefox 5 not having enough features to warrant a shiny new number.

I don’t recall it being in FF4, but I may be wrong…it felt new to me, for sure.

I’m pretty sure it was in FF4. Anyway, keep up the blogging and all the great work you do in Fedora and open source

This is one of my pet peeves in Thunderbird.

This is actually originally a Chrome feature from way back. Good to know it’s made it to Firefox as well.
