Hi everyone!

Where has that disappeared?
Any way to get it back because it was useful to me?

Thanks in advance!

I see them all. Please retest in Firefox's safe-mode, with a new profile or try a reinstall in a new empty folder.

It should be in the trunk, not branch. But why the User-Agent say it is Firefox/2.0?
Flags: blocking-firefox3?
I have changed my user-agent to add the "megaupload" string,
it's a trunk indeed: minefield 2007081105,
it's not fx 2.0,

i don't know if the new info page did not include links by design, if not this is a regression from branch

cc-ing Florian, he should know about it
many people, like me, want the links of in "page info" back!

please include them inside page info, we need them

Yes, the Links tab has been removed by design. Same thing for the Forms tab.
I plan to write an extension adding them back, so that this decision doesn't hurt to much people who were using them.
thanx! we need them back!
So, Florian, should this be marked as a wontfix?

Any progress with that extension Florian?  This hurts (see Bug 432445). It's the "Links" tab I miss -- it was so very useful.

I haven't worked on it yet, but it should be easy to do.  I still think I will release it before Firefox 3 final ships.
The "Links and Forms" extension is now available on AMO in the sandbox at:
 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7459
Thanks Florian, great job!  Works a treat!
Thanks for the quick comment on Bug 438936 !

I have a question, though: the URL 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7459

does not provide a download link.

The .xpi link instead points to a user registration page.

Do users now have to register to regain functionality that was available in FF2.0 without registration?
You have to register to download it because this add-on is currently still in the sandbox.

Some explanations on the sandbox system:

Wow. Removing those tabs was almost as useful as removing MNG support. Thanks Firefox team. You always know what to do to improve the user experience.
