I just upgraded to Firefox 11 (old PC died - wasn't even aware of a new version).

I'm having a few issues, and searching the forums and Google isn't helping.

My first issue is - I don't seem to be able to find an option to stop FF from saving what I type in certain forms. Email addresses, searches, pretty much anything I type in a box. My old version never "remembered" anything, and I'd like to get back to that.

The next issue - sometimes tabs are created immediately next to the one I'm on, even if it isn't the end. With the last version, ALL of my tabs were opened at the end of the procession. That's how I liked it.

The last issue - I can't find the option so have the download manager remove the history when all downloads are complete. I only want downloads showing in the download box while they're downloading. I'd like to get back to that as well.

You can set the Boolean pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to true on the about:config page to open a new tab at the end of the Tab bar.

D'oh! Didn't even think to check the "custom" area. Well, I feel slow. Thanks for the reply!
