before latest update, firefox filled my login credentials automatically into the appropriate fields. Now I've first to select the user in a dropdown list - how can I revert this behaviour?
During the years Firefox made that much steps into the wrong direction, that I'm surprised that a user still cares that much about new issues introduced by a Firefox update.
One of the most worse steps IMO was the step that after selecting a link in the history, the cursor in the history does lose focus. IOW if you searched an hour to find a segment with several wanted links, after clicking one link, the selection gets lost and you need to search again. I'm not aware of any other browser with this abstruse behaviour.
Many other users dislike that they need to check about:config against google safebrowsing spyware again and again.
Did you just post here to make a completely unrelated rant, or what? You may not have realized this change is a positive security enhancement, as Stephan Fischer posted about it mere minutes before you, but, really, you were clearly not even trying to be helpful at all. ... Also, I am not really sure what your complaint about the History is, generally I *want* to go to the link I clicked in the foreground... but okay, switch back to the History window if you really need to. If you really wanted to complain about something, maybe you should complain about the fact that the History only "remembers" the last time you visited a link... i.e. right "now", when you clicked on it in the History window. So maybe brush up on your effective-complaining skills, in addition to your relevancy skills... -- Eli Schwartz
