Download Day came and went, boasting an impressive 8 million downloads in the first 24 hours. Today, they’ve almost doubled that number in a little over a half a week later. Now that users have field tested the new product, we’d like to take a look at some of great and not-so-great features and capabilities of the new Firefox.

The Great

The “AwesomeBar”

The “AwesomeBar” combines the power of an address bar and search bar with lightening speed. From the address bar, you can enter in the website’s address or its title to access the page. The bar also handles some URL-encoding for you, so you no longer have to worry about addresses with no spaces or with certain special characters.

Plus, as you type out either query, Firefox will present a list of six possible results based on your search history. Then, depending on which page you choose, the browser will remember that choice and associate your statement with that website.

This is a HUGE feature in the new Firefox.
