Hey, I just noticed something.

A while back I was complaining about Firefox and the "text size"
setting. You could increase it for a session, but it automatically
defaulted back to normal when Firefox was closed and then restarted.

The new version fixed that. Now, it's called "zoom" instead of "text
size", and once set to your liking, it remains set, even after you close
and then restart Firefox.

Only complaint I have is that apparently there is no way to clear the
URL location history. That's the box that opens when you click on the
little arrow on the right side of the URL field and displays several
previously visited website URL's.
That used to clear when you cleared history, I think, but no more, and
there's no obvious way of clearing it.

Not a big deal, but it's annoying.

Tools Options Privacy Private Data

Once you get there it should be obvious how to make the selections you
are interested in.


Tried that, but didn't see any pertinent selections. Did the "clear
private data" using the default checked boxes, but that didn't do it.
Went to "help" and searched for "clear url location" and found a couple
of comments by other users. Both said it can't be cleared in the new
version of Firefox.

Harrumph. You are absolutely correct, it doesn't work as advertised. Never
tried it before on v3.

Time to dump FF and back it IE. NOT.
