Mainly just security and stability fixes and better standards compliance I think - haven't noticed anything obvious apart from that, but that's reason enough for me to upgrade. Most of my extensions and themes work with the new version too.

Yes, that is frustrating - I was hoping that there would be an option to select onelook/google/etc. Might contact the extension author to ask for one.

Quote from: "gruff"
Yeah, only problem is when I drag a word now to do a search, it sometimes uses something called "onelook" which is annoying. And if you've got say the "oink" firefox search plugin selected it'll still either use onelook or google, but not the one you've selected. That's annoying too.


Sussed it - if you drag a link upwards, you get google, and if you drag it downwards you get onelook. That used to either open a window in the foreground or background. I prefered it that way.

i wonder how hard it is to modify extensions - i think they're just javascript aren't they?

i didn't have to do that... go to  http://superdragandgo.mozdev.com/ and click on installation and download version 0.2.4 and it works without having to fiddle.
