Default FFing firefox has just foobared my browsing

FFS why cant they stop updating!!!!

sneaky bstids, have just installed V3 over my V2,

I hate V3 i dont like the poxy autocomplete and data gathering browserbar.

Now i find all versions of V2 arnt working, (well not on my machine anyway )

and i cant disable the option on the browserbar in V3 cos it wont let me uninstal it to reinstall it.


where theyve hidden it is anyones guess.


not a happy bunny

It just got rid of the urlbar dropdown for me altogether. I want it, just the way it used to be!

Go into Tools --> Options --> Privacy. Then untick the 'Keep my history' and 'Remember what I enter in forms' options
