I see Tom's just like Mozilla started with scheme of lots of minor and actually unimportant stuff released extremely often.

Just make sure you can close it with ESC. And make sure every one knows that (display a tip when move mouse to the side of screen)

And now we move the URL box 1 pixel to the left ... OMG FIREFOX 7

Call me old fashioned but I like toolbars, menus, and browser skins. I have a 23" monitor, I don't need a full screen browser. After all, it's just a f-ing web browser. Most websites still aren't even optimized for widescreen so I don't know what they think people are missing out on.

Next thing they'll be making their browsers compatible with triple monitor displays....

Man, hackers will have a blast if they can get a fullscreen HTML5 portal to look like Windows XP (7 hasn't caught on yet for the majority of middle-aged men and women).

Haha. I remember I sent a screenshot to one of my mom's co-workers a few years back and she didn't know how to close it. Hahahahahaha. She said she kept clicking the red X button from the picture for a minute or so. Omg... And I even had the silver theme on... I hope I don't EVER get like this when I'm old. Damn.

Full screen??? hmmm F11 anyone?

What makes this secure?

Full screen is awesome on my netbook, FYI...

 

[brandonjclark]

Hmm, I've got seven tabs open right now and am using around 192mb. Sure, that's a lot for certain. But still, don't double the figure dude....

Also, I see this as a bad thing. It sounds like it could be hijacked and then the user would think they were connecting to a site but it could then be spoofed.

@otacon
+1 on memory hog argument. But 412 MB for seems to high to me, with 9 tabs opened right now FF6 is 296MB here.

full screen is over rated.

also, ctrl+ about 3-4 times, its how i get websites to look good at 1920x1200 (full screen, not f11 full screen)

Sad.

Simple. Allocate 20px at the top and constantly display the URL against a white background.

They couldn't think of this?

Firefox 7 should reduce memory use by more or less 50% over Fx 6 - so chill, or switch to beta channel right now.

That would be great. I just started beta testing 7 a few hours ago, I hope to see improvements.
