First post with Firefox 3.5

So this is the first real post and it is done with the new Firefox 3.5. Looks really good. But still it tends to suck my battery dry. With the x-th Tab open there will be one Website, that has some f**king JavaScript running in the background over and over again and the CPU load will be permanently between 10 and 20 %. Okay, this is not really the fault of Firefox but Safari consumes a little less. Perhaps their JS-Engine is a bit more efficient.

Something I would really love to see in Firefox too is the "New Window" option in the dock icon context menu (btw, Mac problem - with Linux you won't have that problem). Safari has that and it is really a bless. Just right click the icon, choose "New Window" and here we go. The new window pops up, no switching the screens, pressing APPLE-n and moving the window back from where i came. Wouldn't that be nice?

Besides that Firefox is really great. It is fast and very stable. Nice job!
