Got it to work, removed my profile to another directory then slowly moved back in my bookmarks (via Import function) and then my plugins and saved sessions. Been watching memory usage and virtual memory size and now its much more reasonable.

Still dont like how I have to go \"to the back\" to tweak a simple feature to only have one X to close a tab instead of having one on each tab. Thats what GUI configurations are for. :roll: The \"smart\" address bar is a bit annoying so I turned that off, might get a plugin that replicates 2.x behavior. But other than that its a sharp browser and hopefully it will stay that way.

You need the Tab Mix Plus add-on.

As for making it behave like 2.0 ... there are add-ons and a couple themes that will have the desired effect. :) Assuming you don't discover down the road that the 3.0 version has some good ideas. :wink:

I could make do with less clutter and fluff, I dont need Firefox suggesting a million suggestions as im typing in a url for a completely new and unrelated website.

Edit: No need for extensions or themes, number one on this page is exactly what I was looking for. The other points may be useful for others as well.

those suggestions come straight from your browsing history, and it does learn to order them properly.
