In Firefox 3.5 Mozilla guys added "new tab" button to the tabs panel.
I think that this solution is not very different from previous one. Before this button appeared in the layout you had to double click on an empty space on the tabs panel or do it from tab context menu then there is no free space. By this improvement they solved only small problem(when all the space is occupied with tabs you can’t open a tab with double click), but not the main one – the button is constantly moving. Buy opening new tab "new tab" button slides towards the right side of the screen.
This is bad. Then you have more than 6 tabs opened the button is at the right side of your screen. To open new tab you have to move your mouse through whole screen and then move it back to the left side for example to click on google toolbar search field.
I don’t know why they decided to add that button at all when they could just add their standard "new tab button" in default browser layout. It’s larger that new one and I always know where it resides.
Simplicity is divine

I was trying to download an update for GOM player(great player, by the way) but I stumbled upon… clicking the download button.
I clicked and nothing happened. Because the designers from download.com broke one of the UI design rules.
If you draw a button – make it act like a button.
The quality of software is often estimated by the authors attitude to the details. And from that point of view I’m disappointed in this site. And tha last thing for the designers of download.com(in case they’ll read this sometime):
"Design it’s not about fancy drawing, it’s about usability."

Did you see that annoying flash ads that pops out in the middle of the page and cannot be closed while a new model of a phone will not be shown to you from all the possible angles? Or ugly rectangle that hides 90% of page content and asks you "to call a hot chick from your hood"? I bet you did. Do you hate them? So do I.
After fighting with bunch of windows opened from flash ad without my permission I decided write this plugin.
It’s not fully automatic i.e. it will not hide such ads on every time they try to pop out. It’s just a tool that cleans page from them.
After installation you’ll find it in tools menu and you can add it to your toolbar. Enjoy =)

Письмо Гарри Хелберта о его мнении на счет MLM. Курсивом выделены мои комментарии.
Он убивает ваше время. Он дурацкий, он опасный, он скользкий и тупой. Это магнит для слизняков. Я согласен, не каждый продукт, продаваемый через MLM, – некачественный. Так же, не каждый человек, вовлеченный в этот нонсенс, – неэтичен. Я должен отметить, есть несколько (очень мало) продуктов, и несколько (очень мало) хороших людей во всем этом безумстве. Однако, несмотря на то, что в нем иногда встречаются хорошие продукты и люди…
