What?

It's been stable for a while now, like a month, at least.

How about giving it more than an hour for it to show up on the portage tree, eh?

Oops, sorry. I misread that.

3.6 != 3.5.6

my bad.

Well, the ebuilds from mozilla overlay seem to work fine.

Anybody else seeing the "open link in new tab" behavior has changed? They are going next to the active tab instead at the end of the tab bar for me.

EDIT: Found the answer here: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.feedback.firefox/browse_thread/thread/3600e495a35663ab

Moved from Portage & Programming to Gentoo Chat. Not a support question.

I updated to 3.6 and the addon that I used on 3.5 to hide the menubar seems to be no longer maintained, because firefox-3.6 is suppose to include this functionality -- only problem is that I don't see it. Does anyone have this feature? It's suppose to be an option when you right click in the menubar area.

Other than that things seem fine so far... except that hardly any of my other addons seem to be compatible with 3.6 yet :roll:

EDIT: Looks like I'm not the only one:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541361

very annoying...

EDIT 2: Just an FYI, anyone who used to use the Hide menubar extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4762) and wants to use this feature in 3.6 until a fix is developed by Mozilla, can easily do so by editing the extensions install.rdf and bump up the version number from 3.5.* to 3.6.*. Seems to work well.

And now it's already hard masked again ^_^

Seems like the hard mask has been lifted, and it is once again in the testing branch. Might migrate to it, or I might switch to Chromium to test it out. I've also been liking uzbl.
