Well maybe the next Mario and Luigi game will be a console title.

I'd absolutely love that.

That's the sort of thing I'd buy a whole new console for.

Hmm, you or anyone else having issues with youtube? Seems to make the browser hang pretty bad sometimes for me.

Yeah. Buffering and whatnot recently have been total crap. I've gotten in the habit of pausing and doing something else for a few minutes before trying to watch. It isn't my internet. I've also watched a few videos with the spinner in the center the whole time even though it played fine.

I can second this.

Now I'm finding that (on top of the weird font issue here on the forums and maybe elsewhere), it's just kind of chunky in general. Like scrolling down through pages even after it's all loaded it kind of stutters here and there. Time to go back to FF3? ... lol.

It's funny that I still honestly think FF2 was the best, was always the fastest by far and I never had any problems with it. I got used to FF3 but ever since then it's just so hit or miss. Chrome isn't bad, I just like all the extensions and features of Firefox... just wish it ran better. FF5 still seems to hog up the CPU after awhile too, guess that'll never change. lol

*font issues*

I have 857 fonts installed and I'm not noticing any weirdness. Perhaps you're missing a standard one or have gotten your encoding setting set funky?

It just seems to be some funky random bolding on this forum only (so far from what I've seen), it's being hilariously picky but I noticed something looked weird right away. My encoding is set to UTF-8 in both versions.

Also I hate that the + for a new tab can't be moved in front of tabs anymore apparently, or on the latest tab like it was in older versions. Took some hilarious screen comparisons to show what I mean:

Kind of weird looking at these screens back to back, like my default font or spacing could be different or something between the two versions.

I like rain and girls with dark hair and blue eyes. I've been pondering this all day for some odd reason.

Well, tell you what, Install the Orbit Orange 2.2 theme and see if you like it. The new tab button is on the right. I actually always use CTRL+T myself. I'm using the Subsilver layout, but I tried switching it to Glossy blue and had no weirdness. You don't have the OS set to enlarge things in the display settings do you? Some programs take a shit if you try to change that off 100%.

Hmm, not totally sure what you mean here? I've got it on Smaller (100%) myself though in the display settings, if that's what you're talking about. Definitely prefer tiny icons and everything so everything is pretty small.

Switched back to FF3 also, oh well! haha.

Xena Warrior Princess?

Funny cuz it's true~

I have absolutely no idea what is going on in that clip.

Cream puff man, cream puff...

No, really, I have no idea either... lol

Then it has made perfect sense as there is none to be made.

I gave up on FF5 about 5 minutes after I installed it. Been using Chrome since.
