I am angry at Firefox 3.6 for:

1) Not telling me that it has changed the way tabs open
2) Not giving me an option to opt in
3) Not having a direct way to turn it back in the Firefox preferences -- instead, I had to go to about:config

I tried using it but it was too hard, because cmd-T opens new tabs at the end and middle-click opened tabs directly to the right. There was no possible way to mentally sort my tabs chronologically.

I want happy face and sad face buttons on firefox where I can click it and optionally put in my frustration. I think that would be a more effective bug report system because then you get more of the everyday user frustrations and not just the people savvy enough to understand the concept of "bug" and "bugzilla".

At least you are married to a Mozilla developer! That has to ease some of the frustration!

I think it's the opposite. If I wasn't married to a Mozilla developer, I'd just shrug and say, "man, this sucks," and either fix it or switch to Safari or something, but since I'm married to a Moz dude, I feel some sort of responsibility to make it not suck. Or frustration that it is unreasonably sucky. But Jono works in Labs, which doesn't actually work on Firefox proper, and he actually likes the change.

Doesn't stop the change from being sucky though, for the above 3 reasons.

I hope I didn't make you angrier by voicing the same concerns! But yeah, seconded!

Well, I didn't really mind the change at first, because unlike normal firefox users, I was warned ahead of time by Jono, but it was really frustrating that there wasn't a menu or preferences item to turn it off. That it was just like, "hey, this is new, deal with it."

I think this is different from the awesome bar change. With the awesome bar, I could still keep my old habits of typing in the bar, and then develop new ones as I figure out how the awesome bar worked. Whereas here, it forces me to have completely different ways of looking through and navigating my tabs. So the awesome bar is a change that was un-frustrating, but the tabs were.

I agree completely completely.
