Comment 68 for bug 230102

I am getting a feeling that the developers prefer this behavior to be in a certain way and they insist that users agree and learn to use it that way.

But from the user's point of view, if they have had experience of one type of behavior (FF2), abruptly changing the behavior is unexpected (in FF3). And since no one ever complained about old (FF2) behavior, they would ideally expect it in the same way.

If there is an abrupt change, at least the users should have an option to choose the old behavior (developers may make the new behavior as default, if they prefer). Forcing the users to learn and adapt using the new behavior is not a nice thing to do especially for a software which is so popular!
